    Thank You SVS!

    My brother was going to buy a new SVS sub because of my recommendation. I told him they were elite subs with even better customer service. About the time he was looking to buy one, a deal came up on ebay for a 16-46 PCi with a "buy it now" price of $450, and I think shipping was negotiated...

    theater acoustics

    Well, I am building my theater now. Using the "golden ratios" for room dimensions, I am going to build my room to be 7'-3" high, 11'-7 1/4" wide, and 16'-10 3/4" long.

    bass EQ

    Can anyone recommend a good bass EQ, either tightly spaced graphic or decent parametric? I could use some help with a room that needs taming. Thanks.

    My new addition

    I just ordered a SV16-46PCi. After hearing rave reviews everywhere I turned (and not being able to recall a bad review!) I checked their website again. They are having a sale so I picked one up. I went to accessories at their site and found that they are selling 5 meter BetterCables Silver...

    2 subs???

    Ok, so I will soon have an Outlaw 950 to go with my Parasound HCA-855a. They will drive my Klipsch Quintets (please don't laugh...in our room these little shits run +-3.5db from 140 to 18k, and are down 5db at 110hz. Center runs a little higher lower limit). My wife and I both like the sound...
