Indeed. It may be my dream set-up, but it certainly is nothing like my system! I gotta hand it to the man's (Sherv's) commitment to finding the ultimate in bass for his HT! :emoji_thumbsup:

For some, bass is essential....:laugh:

I can believe it, after hearing it with just one! :emoji_thumbsup: Best reaction was by my "show-me-before-I-believe-it" 21-year old son who was sitting on the floor during a particularly volatile scene in the movie. He just started laughing and said, "...holy cr_p!...did you feel that?"...

Nice! I got an email from SVS saying that IF I wanted to add another PC12, I'd get a nice discount on the second. I mention this fact to my wife and her response was...:rolleyes: Played a few scenes from "War of the Worlds" last night— the SVS really rocked the rafters throughout the house! I...

Well, the UPS driver dropped off my new sub yesterday (Monday) afternoon— it was originally scheduled for delivery last Friday, but the UPS truck took off before I could get to the door!:eek: :angry: —so I had to wait all weekend for the Monday delivery... The UPS driver says, "Looks like...

I've been exploring the SVS's as a possible solution to not just the surrounds, but perhaps replacing the whole set-up with the SCS & SBS speakers. 5% off the whole schbang = $845 (+s&h) for 7 speakers (2 SCS plus Center & 4 SBS surrounds = approx. $120/per speaker....Hmmmmmm SBS-01...

Since my new HT set-up "debuted" in February, I've really enjoyed the overall performance of the system. I've noted, however, some weak points in system that need addressing, in particular the performance of the sub and the sound quality from the surrounds. I've ordered a new sub (SVSound -...

Just got email notification from UPS that a 60 lb box from SVS is scheduled to be delivered by this Friday. Way cool......

that's my hope..... While I'm waiting for it, I gotta pull together some good DVDs to give it a REAL break-in.

Having just recently converted (this past February) our upstairs family room into a "Man Cave" home theatre hang-out, I realized that, although the set-up looks great and sounds half-way decent, it definitely could use some upgrading. The new 63" plasma is awesome (!), but my old pioneer...

Having just spoken with some folks at SVS recently about upgrading my whole speaker system, they also recommended the SCS-01 (M) package in order to stay within my budget and still allow for a quality sub. The SBS-01 could work, but wouldnt have the same presence as the larger SCS. They also...

I'm new here, too....and I'm 49. :eek: But I try to at least remember punctuation when I post. ;) Reading the OP's comments was a challenge...with no payoff.

Thanks, Jason. The room had a pretty radical transformation from where it was 6 months ago (a multipurpose family room with WAY too much furniture crowding an old 30" sony). The room is pretty good size (17'L x 18'W with a peaked ceiling that tops out around 9.5' at the beam and 6.25 &...

I picked up my S38s about 5-6 years ago and they were sitting dormant in my office until I broke them out for the HT set-up. I was pleasantly surprised by the smoothness and clarity of these speakers. The S-center was a recent addition and I haven't anything to compare it to other than it was my...

Yeah, I'm pretty satisfied with the front speakers; the surrounds are passable (Cambridge close-out deal) and when the budget allows, I'll probably upgrade those. Sounds like the 876 is definitely worth consideration.

I've always been of the mind that the receiver is the 'hub' of the whole HT system (either the strongest of weakest link) and I realized that when I started this project that my 516 wasn't probably going to cut it in the long run. Right now, DVRs really don't hold much appeal to me as I'm not a...

Thanks, guys, for the suggestion. I know Onkyo has a great rep for AV products. I'll check out the 876! What I'm looking for is a quality unit that wont be obsolete in 12-16 months....and a few bells & whistles are okay,too! ;)

Hi All I just registered to become part of what looks to be and very informative and helpful HT forum. As recently as 6 months ago I got the green-light from the CFO to budget, plan and execute a home theatre setup in what was previously our upstairs family room. My three older teenage...
