    Mirage OM-5 and OM-7s

    I have a SVS 25-31PCi already, so I am assuming that the lower extension of the OM-5 over the 7 would not be worth the (substantially) extra cost? I'm pretty sure I'd do a separate amp for the speakers someday, but not now because these speakers do cost a bundle and it's all I have for now...

    Mirage OM-5 and OM-7s

    Hi. I am considering investing in a nice big set of speakers. I was very impressed with a friend's Mirage M1 bipole speakers- the sound is something I really like, with the open sound stage, quick response yet smooth sound. Does anyone have any input for either of these two? I'm thinking...

    Discwasher DVD calibrator?

    Hi. Has anyone tried the Discwasher DVD calibration disc? A local store is selling it for $3 CAD. However, it's not the price I'm worried about, it's whether I'd be wasting my time with it. The Avia disc is so much more expensive, so it would be nice to know if this is competent. I can't...

    Best sub for about $500

    I'll add my recommendation based on my 2 week old 22-31 PCi as well. I was even more hesitant about the purchase, not only the sight-and-sound-unexperienced factor, but also that I am in Canada and had to deal with taxes, customs etc. However, it really is the real deal and I couldn't be happier...

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    Wow I just got mine a few days ago in Toronto, and it lives up to the hype and more! (a 25-31PCi) Thanks everyone for your help. I've heard other subs, but nothing like this at anything under 2000 Canadian. Makes me proud the amp comes from my city :) btw what kind of dB readings do people...

    7-Range Analog Display Sound Level Meter

    Does anyone have correction figures for the new 33-4050? or could it be similar to the old 2050? Thanks!

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    JohnSmith I think Steven is referring to John Aprile...nothing against you John Aprile, but just clarifying it for JohnSmith :) Wow, how glad I am for starting a thread here, this is definitely the most productive forum I've come by on the internet! What kind of break-in regimen should be...

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    So the PCi shows its strengths starting from around 30 and below when compared to the CHT? I know most ads and facts say the human hearing range is from 20 to 20000 Hz, but at something like 25, is it actaully audible? Also, does the PCi have a frequency cutoff, and if so, what Hz is it?

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    John you do bring up very valid points. As you point out, getting a local CHT-15 would definitely be a lot easier- no duty, shipping, exchange rate. However, I am very much so a bass head, and I dream every day of having a couple B4-Pluses in my house (after seeing a 130dB test measurement)! At...

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    steve nn that's a great compilation of subs! The old one doesn't have the current improved driver, so should I expect higher and cleaner output than those figures? (Also it's now 320W BASH vs the 300W, would that make much difference?)

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    Thanks for the links to the reviews. I'm very much leaning towards the PCi25-31...The Velodyne does seem like the odd one in the group, but only because of its convenience (I can buy it in store, and not pay duty to ship because I'm in canada) and was just wondering if the active-servo made...

    SVS PCi 25-31 vs HSU VTF3 vs Velodyne CHT-15

    Hi everyone. Do you guys have any opinions on this selection? I've narrowed it down to these three, which are all similarly priced and I've heard good things from all. Hence making my final decision is a little difficult. THanks for your help! Subs in question: SVS PCi 25-31 HSU VTF3...
