    What's the latest on the announced SVS Ultra Port Plugs?

    Tom- Thanks for the freebee. I'm looking forward to the plugs to see what they do to my bass. I have the screw down grilles on my twin Ultras and would be interested in upgrading if possible. Andy-You are the first SVS owner I have seen in my area (Seattle) any others? We should hook up...

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    Thanks to everyone who replyed to my post. I typed a long detailed post yesterday describing my expeiences the last few days, but somehow it didn't go through. Maybe it was too long. So, I'll summarize. Got Avia up and running and calibrated all speakers to 85db. The sub was at -10db on my...

    Hmmm, maybe I need some more Ultras...just don't think I could sneak them past the wife....Maybe once I get calibrated, we can look into Tactile Tranducers.... As I'm typing this, I'm trying some of the things suggested and have found a spot in my room that is seeing 118-120db... I think I'll...

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    I had a little time to use the RS SPL meter tonight. I adjusted all speakers to 85DB using the test tones on my receiver. It didn't differ much from where I had levels set by ear. I also used the Sub level limiter test tone to see how high I could get the dbs and was able to get 110-112db from...

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    Greg- Yes, the room does open to another room. Maybe I am used to distorted bass. I have heard a lot of nice car audio setups and realize HT is a whole diffent ballgame, but I have also heard some KlipschHorns some years ago that when the bass hit, my hair was blowing backwards and my...

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    Thanks for the replys. I have tried turning off the Infinity subs and have found that the bass is still not where I'd like it to be. I'm thinking that the room has some really bad valleys in the 30-80 hertz area. Maybe I'll try moving the Ultras next to my mains although Tom said I might lose...

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    Yes, I have tried the IL-50's in Large mode. They sound great when the Ultras are powered off. It fills the room well with bass. When the ultra is on, it seems like they fill the lower bass, but the upper bass suffers. Like they are cancelling eachother out. I have tried reversing polarity on...

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    Right now all speakers are set to small. My room is approx. 25X12X8 feet high, but it opens to another room. It's not a sealed room...far from it. Hardwood floors and a huge window (12X5) I have the Ultras in the corner together.

    Got my dream system, sounds like crap

    I recently put together a system that was the very best I could afford. This is my first HT system so I know I have a lot to learn about setup. The sound is not as impressive as I was hoping and I think some advice from a HT pro might help me realize the potential of my system. When I was...

    Just blocked out al light from windows, now what light should get for behind the TV?

    Guy- Ok, here it goes.... I'm a newby to the HT scene but have just recently gotten the bug in the last 8 months or so. I have collected the pieces of what I think is a good value mid-fi system. The problem is, I'm not getting the full potential of my system. I have been reading the HTF...

    Upgrade to AT&T digital cable

    I have Digital cable here in the Seattle area. For my $60 a month I get the full package. 3 or 4 HBO, Shotime, TMC, and DMX (Digital Music Express) along with tons of other stuff. It has been a good experience overall, but there are some drawbacks. It is NOT digital ready. The channels are very...
