I'm pretty sure I know what you're describing. I actually had a similar issue in my last apartment. I had decent SPL's while sitting on the couch but when I stood up (and more specifically stood at the end of the couch, close to the center of the room) the SPL were measurably higher. After...

Hey All, I'm currently looking for a 5.0 (I already have a great SVS sub) speaker setup that will be used almost exclusively for home theater. I previously had a Klipsch Synergy setup which I hated. The sound from the horns just sounded so harsh. I realize it's in the eye of the beholder but...

I’m a proud SVS owner myself and as much as I was anticipating their first foray into larger speakers, the renderings posted definitely had me scratching my head. I have to say that I’ve seen the “blister” look (wood sides) done in various applications and I’ve never seen it executed well. The...

Thanks everyone for the posts. I do understand what you're saying about being different creatures. Ironically, I started looking at the Rockets for their build quality/price point but I really like the idea of a more neutral speaker. The Klipsch's are great speakers but I've never felt like they...

So, from what I'm hearing I assume that I would not notice a discernable difference in performance with Rockets vs. my present Klipschs? You are right that I could simply buy a pair of cherry Klipschs, but I'm more interested in the performance of the speakers themselves. If there are better...

I have a pair of Klipsch RB5 II's which have served me well over the past three years but my significant other is putting her foot down on replacing my "bachelor black" speakers with something more aesthetically pleasing. I absolutely love the look of the Onix Rockets and have heard great things...

Greetings, I'm looking to purchase a new single-disc DVD player. I've owned Panasonic players in the past are had no complaints about them so their newest S97 looks really great. On paper it's specs look almost unmatched in the $300 category. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a lot of...

Chad, thank you for presenting the option of DLP TV's. I had not thought of that earlier but you hit the nail on the head. In researching DLP I discovered that "DLP has the impressive ability to display both television pictures and computer images with a level of detail, color and clarity...

Greetings all. I have finally succumb to the fact that research can only get you so far and sooner or later you need to ask people who have hands-on experience. I am looking to purchase a new plasma television. The brand and options considerations for this purchase both take a back seat to the...

Greetings All, This is probably a pretty basic question but I'm a newbie at creating dvd's and I want to get it right without wasting too much time. From searching these forums thus far I have learned that the preferred video format for burning a DVD is MPEG-2. However, my capture device and...

Luis, Glad to see another "305" member. If you are looking to demo an SVS to base your decision on and answer your questions, shoot me an e-mail. I'm in the area and would be more than willing to demo mine for you. To answer your previous question, I have never experienced any port noise from...

Hey All, Along time ago I heard somewhere on this forum that if you attached a y-cable to split the subwoofer signal into both the left and right inputs of the sub that it would increase the output. I own an SVS PC+ 20-39 and to say that I was pleased with the output having only a single...

Thanks for the replies, I realized that I forgot to mention any budget limits in my inital post. The Denon looks good but is way out of my price range. The new Panasonic looks perfect. Does anyone out there know if it still uses the Genesis FLI2200 deinterlacer chip. Previous models that used...

Hi All, I'm finally able to to buy a new DVD player to go with my new HDTV. I've been running around to the stores but I'm having a hard time tracking down a player that has all the options that I'm looking for. I'm hoping that I can get some suggestions from the community here. The perfect...

Blue Man Group - "Audio" DVD-Audio DTS Track 9 - Club Nowhere If this doesn't expose the rattles in your room nothing will.

My favorite bass demo movie is a little darkhorse that never gets mentioned called "Fight Club". If you've got a great system you owe it to yourself to crank this movie up and be wowed. Great bass throughout the movie. The only particular scenes I remember of the top of my head are the midair...

Thanks Jeff, I apreciate the link for the waves but I'm a little worried about having to look at my watch, work the remote to stop the cd at the right time, adjust the phase knob, and communicate with my helper at the same time with very little room for error. Not to mention the possibility...

Thanks, That's kind of what I figured the process was. Seems simple enough. Any advice on where I can acquire a continuous bass calibration tone, or for that matter bass tones of various frequencies? Burning them once I have them is not a problem. Does AVIA have anything on it that is...

Hey All, Contrary to the advice of many fellow forum members I've been runnig my SVS PC+ in conjunction with an older Sony 12" powered sub for a few months now. I am totally happy with the sound I'm getting with my system but the more I read on the forum the more I start to wonder about my...

Hey all, I'm a relative HT newbie so forgive me if this is a "dumb question". I recently bought a Sony rerceiver to power my Klipsch Reference series 5.1 system. The receiver is rated at 110 watts per channel. In browsing this forum and its links I've come across many separate amps costing a...

Hey All, I've had my SVS 20-39 PC+ for about three months now and could not be any happier with it and its performance. I've calibrated it to 85Hz according to SVS's manual and my RS meter, but I'm not sure if I'm getting the most out out the sub. My question is should I calibrate the volume...

Thanks for the input guys. David, thanks for the review links, but I'm curious did ou buy your Axiom setup before or after participating in the review of the Rocket? Going into this I thought that if the consensus among forum members was that the sound of each line was very close (i.e. either...

To find someone near you with an SVS try www.audioenvy.com They have a database of registered owners and contact information for them. Maybe someone near you has registered there. As far as your worries about the cylinder material, I own a 20-39 PC+ (which uses the same material as the rest)...

Greetings all, I'm finally ready to upgrade my HT setup which is currently all Klipsch Synergy and an SVS 20-39 PC+. I've been reading the forums for a while but cannot seem to find a direct comparison between Rockets and Axiom speakers. Individually, they both seem to be VERY highly regarded...

Kevin To clarify my earlier post, the reason that my SVS would have been too much in the dorms was indeed because I like to listen to music and movies loud. The dorm walls were hollow cinder block so you can imagine how well bass and other sounds :D moved through them. However, I second...

Just my two cents . . . I just moved out of the dorms here in Miami this past semester and purchased my 20-39 PC-Plus three months later. I can't even imagine what it would've sounded like in my dorm room, but I have visions of having my housing deposit revoked. While in the dorms my...

Hey everyone, Thanks to all for the great input. This thread seems to veering off towards PA systems. My original intent was to start a sort of concept thread. To take a proven product in one arena (i.e. SVS at Home) and see if the potential existed for it to effectively cross over into...

Thanks for the input. I didn't really think about the low vs. loud angle but that makes sense. Most music does not have much content at or below the 30 Hz range anyways. Perhaps a dual Ultra setup would push out enough output to work? As for their amps not being able to handle the load, I didn't...

Hey Everyone, I just purchased my 20-39 PC Plus three weeks ago on the advice of this and other forums, and I owe all of you a huge "thank you". My home theater has never sounded better and my walls have never shaken so hard. I love everything about my SVS and even my wife loves it. Having...

Greetings All, In the never-ending search to find the perfect receiver to mate to those awsome SVS's I was doing some casual reading on CNET.com and came across an article about the forthcoming Sunfire Ultimate Receiver due out in August and claiming to be "the most powerful receiver on the...
