I faced this very dilemma a few months ago. It was between; Definitive Technology M&K Def Techs - great appearance/sound good M&K - homely/sound better I really wanted the DT's cause they looked so much better, but I had to go with the sound quality. My wife was actually happy I...
You are correct, my problem was mainly one of height. To keep all the speakers the same height, I needed to place the center behind the screen. I only had 5 inches above and 24 inches below my screen area.
Of course, there was the WAF to take into account. My wife was against doing a dedicated...
This will depend on your particular situation. I needed to use a microperf screen due to my low ceiling height. I went with a 92x52 dalite microperf. I am using 2 M&K LCR 750 (mains), 2 M&K LCR 750 Centers, 2 M&K SS55 Tripoles (surrounds) and a pair of SVS 20-39cs+ w/Samson 1000 amp. Using...
Hi Jeff,
I have dual 20-39cs+ & Samson 1000 combo (I have a large room).
Finally got it all set where I wanted and we had a large Memorial day BBQ at my house. My HT room is in the basement BTW.
It seemed I spent my whole evening giving demo's to people (Matrix, Titan AE, TS2, etc.). Oh MY...
I have 2 10" Focal subs, powered by a Xtant amp. The rest is rounded out by 2 sets of Focal Utopia's.
Of course, today I opened the box on my dual 20-39cs+ and Samson 1000 amp. Could be a close call...
Norman, I agree with you. I will at least be able to quit irritating my family once I know the subs are on their way.
Unfortunately, I live on the west coast, so it will be a week Once they ship.

Erik,
I am sure you are too busy feeling your new bass to read this, but I will stand out side my house at 8:00 p.m. and I will listen for your sounds of glee:)
Enjoy your sub, now I know SVS knows where Puyallup is. Da-Lite had a heck of a time finding it...
Enjoy
Hey Erik, If my 20-39cs+ hasn't shipped by Friday, can I come over and get an SVS fix?;) I just live over by the South hill mall so I may be able to feel the pod race from my house. I will warn all the neighbors that it is not an earthquake ahead of time.
My Da-lite screen is scheduled to...
Or, you can do what I am doing and place it behind the screen. I also have a 106" screen (52 x 92) microperfed.
My ceiling is just barely over 7' tall, so I had no good place to put the center. I decided that in the middle would be best for me.
Just another suggestion
Need 2 s-video cables. The runs will be 50 feet and 35 feet.
Just want to order them, not build them. Who makes good ones and won't kill the wallet?
Thanks
Nice to hear there are more of us up here in the great Northwet;) . I do not feel all alone now.
I will work on converting more to SVS subs.
On a related note, yesterday my wife ordered 5 Berkline Cinema Series seats, shipping on those was less than the SVS, oh well.
Enjoy
Well, I finally took the plunge about 5 minutes ago. Soon I will no longer have to be envious of others on this board:).
What I find amazing is, that around where I live, nobody has even heard the name "SVS". Sure, everyone is a HT buff or a true audiophile right up until you ask them pointed...
This morning I exchanged my unopened 2200 for a 3200. I opted to trade up due to the extra horsepower offered by the 3200. Gotta drive these M&K's like I stole em;)
I of course will not get an opportunity to listen to it until I finish my HT room. Gonna be some long nights in my future.
I ordered (2) LCR750THX, (2) LCR750THXCenter, and (2) SS55 Tripole surrounds.
Next it is a pair of SVS 20-39+'s w/samson 1000.
Hoping that ought to do the job and it all fit in my original budget for speakers and sub.
Luis,
Yep, I got them from Magnolia in Tacoma. Matt Stokes there is a good guy and quite knowledgeable in A/V. He really stepped up on this one since a place down in Oregon (I am originally from there and drive down once a month or so) would give them to me for 10% less than them.
They took...
Thanks for the info. I probably will upgrade to the 3200 since time is not critical.
Hope you have a dark colored chair so you don't leave any pee-stains:D
Thanks Brian, that's what I meant to say.
I found my best price today and then went to my local guy. He met their price and they even ate the sales tax (8.5%). Gotta like that!
Guess that ends this thread
I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V2200 locally. A couple of days later, they introduce the RX-V3200. I have yet to open the box on mine since we are remodeling the HT.
My question is this; Should I exchange my 2200 for the 3200 when it hits the shelf, time is not a real issue here as I will...
"Remember to tell her that when she's eyeing a new pair of $100 shoes. Point to the *buy one shoe get one free* rack and say she's "allowed" to get a pair...but only over there.."
He He, now I like that one. I have the second Imelda Marcos living under my roof. She has so many shoes, she...
I have a couple of questions about SVS subs. I have pretty much decided to go with these since everyone finds them to be so great. I am running a Yamaha RX-V2200. I have not decided which speakers I am getting (M&K, Def-Tek or Vandersteen).
1. My HT is 30x12x8 (length x width x height), which...
You should check out www.outwater.com they have the star panels and illuminators w/twinkle and color wheel.
They also have a lot of great stuff that can be used in HT, stanchions, pillars, rope light etc.
Well, I have been out listening to speakers and reading forums and researching my little buns off. I have taken all the great advice I have gotten here and here is where I stand:
More confused than ever:D
Honestly though, I was able to disqualify many sets and some I could not listen to...
