SVS 20-39CS with ISD (improved standard driver) and Samson S700 amp (350 watts x 2 @4ohms). GTA only. Price: $775 cdn

http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...r-10-2004.html Why am I calling it ho-hum? The good: They show distortion/SPL readings for 15, 20 and 25hz. The bad: They don't give max SPL readings, with THD for those individual frequencies. Instead they mix together 20, 31.5 and 50hz...

My house is 50+ years old and there are probably a few holes/cracks between the basement and 1st floor. So what happens if your IB has a leak somewhere in the same room as where the manifold "fires" into?

I have a rec-room that is 13'x21'x7'. There is no way to use an adjacent room as the IB, so I'm wondering if I could just make a really big enclosure at the screen end of the room. So as an example, 1.5' depth x 13' x 7' would give me 136.5 cubic feet or about 3900 litres. From what I've...

I didn't get a chance to compare these 2 configurations. What do you guys reckon the performance is like? The 16-46CS+ has the advantage in enclosure size and more porting but the Ultra has a better driver. Any idea how the SPL's compare in the 16-20hz range? How about 20hz and up? I...

In preparation for the soon to be expiring SVS pre-order, I did some testing of the various existing SVS cylinders. I myself have 1 SVS 20-39CSi. It is a great sub but I need more headroom and extension. So begins the quest. Sunday 19th My friend Eric had just received his dual CS...

The recording I'm referring to is Pink Floyd's Pulse concert. It is only available in region 2, or an OOP ntsc disc, or LD bootlegs. I first heard this at my friend's place on his awesome Accustat+dual servodrive contrabass setup. Track 6 starts off with sustained guitar and synth notes and...

If anyone in Toronto is looking to upgrade to the PB2/B4, etc, then let me know which SVS you have. I'm interested primarily in these models: CS+ 20-39 or 25-31 PC+ 20-39 or 25-31 CS-U (must be the more recent TV12 driver) PC-U I may be interested in the regular CS if it's 20-39 or...

I have the Outlaw 950 on loan from a friend so it's my reference for comparison. Can a new receiver like the 3805 match or exceed the sound quality of an older separates piece like the Outlaw 950? I'll be using separate power amps so the receiver amp section is not a factor.

I was at a friend's place on Sunday to do some measurements of his SVS 16-46CS+. He has a decent size room, about 15x25 with 8' ceilings. He has 3 rows of seats and currently 6 chairs (1/3/2 from front to back). His SVS is in the back of the theater, in a corner. I don't have the spreadsheets...

Speakers - down to 40hz at best Subwoofers - down to 15hz at best Transducer - down to 5hz (claimied) Maybe the answer isn't multiple subs or massive units like the B-DEAP32, contrabass, B4+ and Everest. Perhaps we should all be running our subs from 80-20hz and then using a Buttkicker from...

Prefer a canadian seller. Also interested in a DC-2 if it has the latest software (see below).

http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...ma-4-2004.html Sounds interesting and I have a joist floor in my home theater that definitely resonates. I even have some spare Auralex panels. Could one simply make a similar base with the 2" foam? The item reviewed uses a denser foam rated up to...

After finishing some adjustments to my crt projector, I popped in Toy Story 2. Cranked the volume up near reference and measured 110db, C-weighted, fast response at my chair during the opening logo. Courtesy of the SVS site. The waterfall shows full amplitude in the LFE from ~27-60hz with...

One of my friends has a dual Servodrive contrabass setup and it literally makes your shirt flap in movies like Pearl Harbor and TS2. Even though the bass can literally clobber you, it still remains defined with things like bass guitar. Far and away the best sub setup I've heard. Each unit is...

Due to size constraints, I have to reduce the size of the sub enclosure for my car. The shape is roughly like this from the side ..._____ ../.......| ./........| /______| I estimate the internal volume around 0.5 cubic' The driver is an Eclipse 86120.4 and the parameters are Fs...

I'm trading an item with another forum member and as such I believe this should be exempt from customs. Both items are used, taxes were already paid once when purchased originally and the transaction is a trade. I live in Canada and the other person lives in the US. How should the person...

My current room is tiny (10x12) but soon I'll be moving to a basement room. It's 13x21x7' with concrete floors/walls and 3 narrow windows. I have 1 SVS 20-39CSi and already I'm thirsting for more headroom in my small room. So moving to this larger room will definitely drop my SPL's. So...

I want a Lexicon pre/pro mainly for it's Logic 7 mode and high quality sound. I don't need: 1)tons of inputs - I only use a HTPC 2)DTS-ES/DPL2 or the various other new decoders, Logic 7 is plenty 3)analog bypass - could care less about dvd-a/sacd right now 4)component inputs - my...

Every single day we have "new" SVS threads that ask questions that have been answered hundreds of times already. "My room is X x Y which SVS should I get?" "Is SVS too much for my small room?" "My SVS shipped today!!!" "My SVS sucks, what's wrong with it?" "OMG my SVS rules, pictures are...

I'm interested in hearing the next level of bass reproduction. So please post or email me if you have a multi-driver Infinite Baffle setup or a 2 or more ported Tempest sub.

Animated Gif 75kb The first frame is unequalized, 2nd and 3rd are the first attempts, 4th is the final. Would anyone here eq the 20hz bump down even more? I think for movies it will probably sound better with the extra kick. Final eq settings: 20hz -5db 25hz +5db 31.5hz -6db 40hz...

I'm building a new sub box for my car and am wondering how much it affects the SQ to have leaks. I've made the parts fit fairly well and used lots of glue in the butt joints with nails to secure. Each joint is clamped for an hour to set and i run a little extra bead of glue along each joint to...

If anyone knows where to find 16" sonotube in Toronto (Etobicoke ideally), please let me know. If it comes only in 12' lengths then maybe someone else can split 1 with me. I only need 39" to make an SVS clone with my leftover driver.

How can I tell if the copy of NSNA is the bad one with the missing cigarette case scene? The runtime on the copy I bought is 2:13 but I'm not opening it until I know it's the good one.

I've checked Onkyo's dealer listing for Toronto but it's sorely in need of updates. It lists some stores that don't even carry regular Onkyo anymore and a few ripoff custom installer places that quoted ridiculous 1100+ prices when it should be around 750-800. Brack just moved and they don't have...

I'm looking for some stores in Toronto that carry Sennheiser, Grado, Koss, Sony, etc and they have all the models available to listen to. I believe BayBloor Radio has some but that's about the most expensive store in this area and they probably don't have much selection.

This idea of the house curve for equalizing the 20-80hz range brings up a few questions for me. First off, +6-8db at 20-32hz is quite aggressive. I tried it today using my ART351 EQ by adding 20hz +6db 25hz +6db 31.5hz +6db 40hz +4.5db 50hz +3db 63hz ++2db 80hz +1db...

I was browsing the Axiom site and noticed their 3 grades of surround, all are a "quadpolar" design with 2 tweeters angled 45 degrees left/right with the woofers mounted top and bottom. Seems like a pretty good design and the prices are reasonable AND available as singles for 6.1 setups. Are...
