    Dish Network $999 RCA TV w/ tuner deal...tv any good?

    Hey Greg, Did you get this deal yet. I want the same thing, but can't find anybody selling the 921 with the HDTV set. I was wondering about your impressions of the product. Troy

    Klipsch question

    IF you like the RC-7, Why not just get 3 of them for the front array? That would be the BEST match of any other combination.

    Klipsch RF7's make my hsu vtf2 sound bad

    Chris, I think you may have your sub set up incorrectly. Make sure it's in a corner or somewhere close to where the RF7s are giving you such good bass. Set all your speakers to small, and let the HSU handle all the bass. My Klipsch KG5.5s have 4 10" woofs, too. They can't do bass like my...

    Hey SVS guys, How to safely use my 20-39CS+ with a BFD as a subsonic filter

    I've heard that the PC and PCi series subs have built in limiters or subsonic filters to prevent damage. The passive CS, CS+ and Ultra models do not. Obviously there is an advantage to both. Due to recent trends in HOT DVDs like LOTR and AOTC, I'm thinking I should set a filter or two on my...

    Wow, my SVS can't handle the new ATOC DVD!!

    Those of you with SVS PC's, I think those all have limiters to prevent bottomming out, right? That may be why you are all reporting no problems, I think. Troy

    Wow, my SVS can't handle the new ATOC DVD!!

    Let's make sure that you all (Tom) don't think I'm complaining about my SVS. I love that thing, and it has never dissapointed me. I also have it very carefully tweaked and calibrated. I've used Avia, S&V, and VE. I also have a BFD to get me a smooth FR in my room. The bass is overcooked on...

    Wow, my SVS can't handle the new ATOC DVD!!

    USER BEWARE!! The new Star Wars Ep II DVD has too much bass! (: The first sceen with the Senator's ship is an absolute killer. My properly calibrated system could not handle it at even 7 db below reference. Most bassy scenes in the first 30 minutes could barely be tolerated at 10 db below...

    WTB: LOTR original WS DVD release

    NO need for 4-5 discs, just looking for the 2 disc release in excellent condition. Thought I'd check here if any of you are upgrading and want to get rid of your old copy. BBV has them for $10, prev-viewed, so I'd be willing to pay close to that. Email me: [email protected] Thanks, Troy

    Crest Amp with SVS CS+ ; can I / should I bridge it??

    I just picked up a great used Crest Audio LA 910 amp at a garage sale. The owner said it was bridgeable, and there is a switch for bridged mode. It puts out 325 watts/channel with 4 ohms per the sticker on the back. I have an SVS CS+ and would like to maximize it. Was thinking I could bridge...

    SVS calibration and S & V test disc findings

    Guys, I don't believe that the subwoofer calibration portion of the S&V disk is meant to be used to set a reference volume level. That should have been set by the rest of the speakers earlier. All it is intended to do is match the calibrated level of your left main (which should be the same...

    SVS calibration and S & V test disc findings

    During the subwoofer level tests, you aren't supposed to adjust anything besides the subwoofer level. It is assummed that you already adjusted the levels of all the speakers less the subwoofer. Don't concern yourself that the subwoofer test isn't recorded at the same level. It doesn't matter...

    SVS calibration and S & V test disc findings

    Guys, I'm wondering what your channel settings are at? Yes, 85 db with S&V and 75 db with VE should require your receiver's to be cranked up to single digits - ideally at "0" so you know what your reference level is. If you can't do that, you should trim down your speaker levels until you...

    SVS calibration and S & V test disc findings

    Johnny, Even with the Floyd Cal., it says to set your sub hot. IT makes sense that if you level it out with S&V that you will have less bass than you are used to. This shouldn't surprise you. The levels on the S&V disk are to be calibrated at 85db, just like AVIA. VE is 75db. It's not...

    With an svs 20-39cs+ Are Bass shakers necessary?

    Brian, Just b/c I got a sweet price on them, and I had a spare channel on my amp, I picked up a pair of Bass shakers just for fun. I find that they are fun little toys, definitely not to be used during loud music or movie playing, as my SVS does just fine. But for VHS movies and late night...

    AVIA - bass & phasing

    Nate, Needle jumping is normal for sub level tests. It's trying to find an average, and your room may have some big nodes to work with. I would set the crossover on your receiver to 100hz with those quintets, and leave the sub's crossover disabled, like you have it. FWIW, I wish I had...

    Wayne, Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try that later when I have more time to EQ. Troy

    My BFD results. Need advice, please.

    Bruce/Wayne, Put those two names together, and we have Batman! So what you are saying is I should try this: To get a flat curve, I could simply boost up 40 and 71 hz and take 56 down a bit? What do you suggest I start with for Q? I'm a bit worried about addding too much gain at 40, as...

    My BFD results. Need advice, please.

    After about 6 hours of failing, I figured that it was easiest to use narrow filters of large quantity than fewer, broader filters. With the broader filters, my valleys grew deeper, and I didn't want to boost unless absolutely necessary. I have tones for every frequency 10-100 hz, and I do have...

    Buttkicker 2 or cheaper Ebay Shakers?

    OK, How the heck do you measure the frequency response of a bass shaker??? In order to flatten it with an EQ, I would think you need some quantifiable data to start with. This seems interesting. Troy
