Well, time for an update. I received my PB10 and hooked it up. Its way overkill for what I need, but anyways. Looks like I need to buy a new receiver as my current one has a fixed 100Hz crossover and I can tell where the sub is located. I used to have a sub/sat system years ago, and hated it...
I had to give my friend similar advice when it came time for him to buy speakers. He wanted a set of 5.1 speakers for his familiy room for a limited $1200 budget. I told him that for that kind of money it would be a lost cause, and it would be better to get a set of high quality 2 channel...
I am here to announce that I have placed my order. :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: $470 with shipping. This little animation put me over the top. :D svsubwoofers.com/animation.htm Thanks again for everyones input.
I'm gambling I can keep my sub at tolerable levels for my neighbors. My walls aren't the thickest in the world. But atleast they would know what a SVS subwoofer can do. ;) I just did my taxes, getting $1150 back, I guess I have no excuse now.
Thanks Ron, I ran a little experiment with my current speakers. I played a 100hz test tone through my left speaker, just next to where the sub will be placed. I was somewhat able to localize the source, in respect that it was louder at my left ear than my right ear, but quite hard to...
I do have one last question however. I will be using the subwoofer output from my receiver, it has a fixed 100hz xover frequency. Will I have any issues with this. I'd rather not have to upgrade my receiver to a higher model just to get an adjustable xover frequency. Thanks,
Wayne, here are the item numbers: 5726113377 Fixed at 20hz. 5732520391 This one is adjustable between 20hz, 25hz, 30hz, and 35hz. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14931&item=5726113377 cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14931&item=5732520391 Thanks,
No worries, I got the answers I was looking for. Feel free to follow up with your own questions. 50%-75% chance I'll be ordering my PB10-ISD this week. I may add 5% for the tire iron threat. Thanks for the inputs.
I am looking into the SVS PB10-ISD with great interest. My current audio setup consists of a Marantz SR5300 A/V receiver and a pair of Mackie HR824 studio monitors. These speakers are fabulous on their own, with a frequency response of 37hz to 22.5khz +/- 1.5db...
In regards to using an additional high-pass filter similar to the one Wayne used to enhance the SVS's resolution, I found these little items on eBay. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5732520391&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT...
Wayne, What are your thoughts about using a 20hz 12db/octave high-pass filter in place of the 25hz 18db/octave filter you used with the SVS. Would it have a similar effect to what you mentioned about an improvement in low frequency resolution? Thanks,
