What are you all going to do with your 12.2 drivers if you upgrade to the 12.3. What do you think the 12.2 will be worth? I am trying to justify to my wife that getting the 12.3 will basically be free, so why not do it. But I have no idea what I could get for a 12.2. (By the way, if you are...
I don't know what the review you are talking about says, but for me, the SVS guys have been right on top of it and taken care of things extremely quickly. They have even responded to emails at 8:00 at night! These guys are into this stuff like we are, and enjoy conversing with fellow...
Let me see if I can add some more info. I used to run with a Velodyne SPL1200 in my last house. I had it with Klipsch RB5, RC3, SB1 and the Denon 3802. I got it refurbished about 4 years ago for a very good price. Let me tell you - it was the first real subwoofer I had ever owned. I loved...
Maybe you have a bad ground for your tv from your cable company. Try unplugging the coax cable from your wall to your tv and see if your sub stops humming. This sounds like a ground loop hum and a common source for that is that your cable lines from the cable company are not properly...
Hey - Ron, You said that the PB12 Plus would become trimmer in the new version. What were the old dimensions? It looks like it is the same size to me. Bryan
They just put up on their new page the new info on their re-launch of the box subs with the new boxes. I haven't seen a discussion on them yet. I was surprised no one else saw this or mentioned it. http://www.svsubwoofers.com/news.htm I would like to know from the SVS crew if they can give...
Jeff-O - I agree about sending an email. You have to remember, all of these online companies get a lot of email, and there are several forums and many times more threads with questions like yours. They are human, and they may miss a question that is buried in a thread that had nothing to do...
Thanks for the offer Robb, I may take you up on that after the holidays have passed. My new home won't be done until the end of January, so I don't need to order the new sub right now. I just needed to know that if I sold my sub now, then I could get as good if not better performance for...
I wouldn't say $600 is a hard limit. I can go higher if I need to. I just couldn't justify selling my sub for $400, if it is going to take me $1400 to get the same quality. For that, I can just by another SPL1200. $899 is not that much more for the PB12-ISD/2. I just know that I like the...
I realized after I posted people would probably want to know more about my room. I guess I want two responses. If I kept my SPL1200, if the room was too big, well, I would still be stuck with it. So I am wondering regardless of room size, what is comparable to the SPL1200. I don't want to...
All, It's been a while since I have posted, but I am moving into a new house and am selling off all of my speakers and replacing them with new stuff. What I had was all Klipsch Reference series (RB5, RC3) up front and Synergy Surrounds (SB1). For my sub I had a Velodyne SPL1200 that I got...
Can you all talk about the remote on the 3803? How do the macros work? Can you have seperate macros for the different modes of the remote? I have the 3802, and the only thing (besides money) holding me back was if the 3803 remote had enough macro capability. Reading the manual online it...
For the cables and wires I would go with Acoustic Research Pro-Series cables. They are well made and look nice, and are pretty affordable. I ordered my last set from www.discounts-n-deals.com. They had great prices and great service. Bryan
Thanks. I am looking at those but my concern is that they are only rated to 8 pounds, where as the speaker I want are at about 9 pounds. I am not sure how much of a problem it would be with only one pound of difference. Can anyone shed some light on the weight ratings of the speaker...
I am picking up a pair of Klipsch SB-1 for my surround speakers. They will be mounted to the ceiling to the side and slightly back from my listening position. I am wondering what speaker mounts people can recommend from experience. The speakers themselves have a screw connection and they only...
Right before they showed who she picked - I told my wife - it is going to be Ryan. I had thought Charlie all along until her family made a few comments. When her mom was saying Ryan was so different than every other guy, and Charlie was the one they would expect her to pick, I thought, Ryan...
I had a similiar problem with my RCA DirecTV receiver. I am using the analog outputs, and I was getting only one speaker. It turned out one of the RCA jacks on the back of the DirecTV receiver was going bad. If it wiggled it, I could get sound out of both speakers again. If I wiggled it just...
But remember that to be THX certified on a receiver, not only do the amps have to meet certain specs, but so do the processors. To be THX certified you would have to include all of the processing. That would cost money to develop, and that my have put the HK reciever in a price bracket that they...
Tyson - thanks for the post. Your issues with those two features is enlightening. The only reason I was thinking of upgrading from my 3802 to the 3803 was for the up-conversion and vol display. Now that I see it still would be a compromise, I don't feel the need! Thanks my man - you just...
I know this will go against what some people will do, but if I had a budget that high, I wouldn't "blow" it all right now. I would save a good chunk of it for future upgrades. You know that as soon as you buy something, the newer and better version is going to come out, and you won't have the...
And to answer your other question - the 3802 (and presumably the 3803) does allow separate adjustments for each speaker independently, including the surround speakers. Bryan
Well, I am going to be about 10 feet away and I am getting a 48 16:9 inch. I was about 12 feet away from my last tv, which was a 60" 4:3 (about 55" widescreen in letterbox mode). My wife thought it was dominating in the room, so she wanted something a little less intrusive in the new house...
Michael - I am guessing this home is either in the Biltmore or Paradise Valley - there are some serious homes in those areas. And the jeweler - I have an idea of who you are talking about - does the name start with an M? Bryan
Thanks Guy! I agree, the open box depends on why it is open box. But by looking at it, it still had the styrofoam "lint" on it, like it had literally just come out of the box onto the floor. They had one that didn't have the screen shield because it was cracked, and were still charging the...
I am looking at buying this set for my new house. I will be about 10 feet away, and my wife and I feel that this will be the perfect size. It will strike a balance between a big picture, no scan lines visible from the seating position and not dominating the family room. I was wondering if...
Thanks Rick - unfortunately the house is almost complete - the sheetrock is in, mudded, taped and painted. I didn't catch this until after the sheetrock was up, since I hadn't thought to actually check what cable they put in. My only concern is with future toys. They may be able to network...
OK wiring gurus - here is my dilemna. I am building a new house, and the builder uses Brinks to do the structured wiring standard in the house. Brinks uses OnQ products. All of the literature states that they use Cat5e cabling for all telephone/network outlets. However, I noticed that...
Thanks - I just found some info on tivocommunity that confirms that the series 1 tivos do remap. It looks like it was more of the DirecTVPlus receivers doing it, and has nothing to do with Wink. So I can assume that the series 2 will remap also - Great news! Thanks, Bryan
