Alon Goldberg: I want to address the rest of your reply. On likes and dislikes of my system: In general, I really like the Axiom Algos and the SuperCube2. I got the Algos to be my "workhorse" speakers that I could move into different rooms, take outside, take to the beach, or fill...

Chris Quinn: Sorry, the description of my speaker position was ambiguous. My computer room is pretty close to a 10x10 square. My L-desk and a side table pretty much span the entire wall I face sitting at my desk. The speakers sit on the desk and side table about as far as they can...

All, Thanks for your replies! Sorry: When I said JBL "SC2's" I meant LC2's. A.G.: I was hoping to broaden my soundstage by moving from the Algon's to the the LC2's that go down 10 more kHz and have 3/4", 1", 4", and 6" drivers compared to just the Algon's 1" and 6.5" drivers. D.W...

I do most of my music listening in the smallest room of my 3-bedroom house where I have an L-desk with my MacBook pumping out i-tunes. This room is 8x9x10 with the door permanently open. I currently have a 2.1 system that consists of two Axiom Algonquins facing me, each 4ft. from my ear...

This is a really fun thread! I'm surprised more people have not contributed their favorite "high octane" audio tracks. I'd really like to see this thread provide a lot of pages that I can keep as an audio reference. Come on HTF'ers let us know what really gets your systems pump'n...

Movies: Kill Bill Vol.1 and the new Rambo display LFE well. KB Vol.1's first fight scene provides good stress to the upper freq's with the breaking glass and such. The high powered weaponry should provide as much sound effect on your system as it does on the bodies of the extras in...

Thank you Nate for the reply. Yes, I also find it hard to believe SVS would decide investing in shills a worthy promotion model. The clubpolk thread did seem pretty "tongue-in-cheek," however, based on the objectivity of the reviews I've seen, I can understand the nugget of truth in their...

I too am very interested in these speakers. I have a pb12 plus/2 and it really impresses the hell out of me. I have a big room (28x21x8) in a small house and it literally shakes everything above the foundation AND sounds great. However, SVS is well known for their subs- but not as much...

That price is a considerable break from their $625 listed price. Thanks for the lead to onecall.com they seem to offer a lot. However, my paranoid side has to question how a speaker can see such a reduction in price. But for that price, what the hay, you could just give'em to your...

I believe the BA VR-3's to be securely in the middle to upper-middle range. I'm new to the HT "GAME" but had these towers recommended by some people I consider very knowledgeable. However, when I looked into where a pair of these could be purchased, I was unable to easily find a seller...

My God man... Do you live in a gymnasium? The Ultra is 155 lbs. of 10HZ velvet covered sledgehammer! Can you really have it maxed out and be asking for more? :eek:

Right... I follow you, no other amp. I just mention the Onkyo AVR because it is what I'm trying to use the Nikko amp to replace. My search for an external sub crossover is now on. Thanks.

Yes, I see what you are saying. I was looking for some assurance that these components would work in the desired configuration before I started trying to hook it up as it involved moving furniture and riling up some heavy layers of dust. Once I got all of the components separated and ready...

"SC2" is the Definitive Technologies SuperCube 2. Will this unit require an external sub crossover? I thought it had a built-in crossover. It didn't have a manual when I purchased it and my knowledge beyond the old fashioned stereo set-ups is limited.

I am wondering if anyone on this forum might be familiar with the Nikko Alpha 130 amp and the Rotel RC-970BX preamp. If so, I am wondering if their is any way to use these to run a 2.1 set-up. I have the Rotel manual and it states “you may use two power amps to run speakers in the main...

Hey all... My First Post! Since Pete has completed his purchase, I thought he might hand the torch off to me as I’ve been teetering on the verge of taking the SVS plunge. Perhaps I could get some feedback on my purchasing considerations while we eagerly anticipate Pete’s updates...
