Darn it Tom now you’re making me wish I’d have gone with an 18” driver :laugh:

Sounds good, Tom! Maybe my next PSA sub will come in "None More Black".

More: https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/joe-perry-steven-tyler-didnt-get-spinal-tap I'm surprised The Edge felt that way as well, especially since U2 was relatively early in their career at that time.

Tom, I've probably watched that film nearly as many times. That, along with Blazing Saddles and Tropic Thunder, I consider my holy trinity of comedies. Movies I watch and quote over and over again. Speaking of turning the bass up...tell that to Lars and James on "...And Justice For All"...

All I know is that I find your sealed 15S to be very musical and powerful. Good for both music and movies. The only reason I also purchased a Hsu was to try out the two of the most respected sub makers working today. I figured if I was going to try a different manufacturer I'd also try out a...

The main reason my first "serious" sub was sealed was because I listen to a lot of music. And yes, I know well-built ported subs can be just as musical, but I also wanted a smaller footprint because I just can't have something the size of the ported models in the bedroom. Believe me, the 15S is...

Spent all last night going through my music library. I can't take this stupid smile off of my face. Sure, my library doesn't have many songs pushing 20hz, but most who aren't in our hobby don't realize how much normal music lives between say 25hz-60hz, the upper level is where lots of...

Ok I am calling off the search for my MCACC mic. Reading about everyone’s displeasure, I decided to test something. I realized I had been running it in Pure Direct mode until I moved the PSA sub into my room, completing the 5.1 system, and now I switched to Auto Surround so that a stereo could...

Yeah I'm starting to regret not buying the Anti-mode with my sub from you Tom. :mellow:

Everything was fixed with a 25’ sub cable. Now I have the sub right next to the bed, close to the back wall, and I’m getting the bass that I was in the living room, and the gain is back down to where it was as well (around 10 o’clock setting). It passed the Sarah MacLachlan, Daft Punk tests. As...

Well I'm SOL. I emailed Pioneer and they replied that the microphone is discontinued and they have no stock and no expectation to get any more. Time to rummage through my place...

Hi Tom! Pioneer Elite SC-79 (I'm contacting CSR for a replacement MCACC mic per David's recommendation). Original Energy C6 Connoisseur mains (the original version not the mass market rebranded connoisseur line once they went big box store), matching AC300 center and RSL CG3 surrounds. I'm...

I received got my first object lesson in critical room placement. Moved the 15S to the bedroom, which is much smaller than the living room (14x14x8) but due to it being a bit cramped with furniture, and the fact that my existing sub cable was only 12' in length, it's sitting in a totally...

The subwoofer version of the Crocodile Dundee “that’s not a knife” line. :rolling-smiley:

Daaaaayummm. If I ever own my own place I’m going to have one of those in the HT.

All right. Let’s see if I can get a copy locally before I head to Hsu Friday morning. :rolling-smiley:

Quick update, I've been happily chugging along with the PSA 15S for a couple of weeks now. I think the highest compliment I can give it over these past two weeks has been that it hasn't inappropriately drawn attention to itself. I've been primarily running music and non-sub heavy movies over the...

What a trip down memory lane, thanks Tom!

Dave I already pulled the trigger on the RSLs so I'm now out of the market. That’s why I questioned the ROI on going big box store because I’m a sale they lost due to the poor setup.

That's interesting to hear Dave. I did mention I tried to optimize the room and speaker positioning as much as I could. But if you're right about most BB/Mags not having great demo rooms, it makes me wonder about the thought process behind Elac (and SVS) going with a dealer model versus staying...

I did acknowledge they were for the original Debut line; versus the 2.0 which I heard, so I admitted they were not the same line. I was glad I didn't listen to the hype for v.1 to justify blind buying v.2. You seem to assign a negative connotation to hype, which Oxford English Dictionary...

It was a Magnolia within a Best Buy. A pretty noise-isolated room (from the rest of the store). Yes they did have switchers, but the amp that was being used was very similar to the Elites I have at home (I have the SC-05 and -79, they used last year's model I don't remember the the number). I...

I think CalTech can measure it when Tom tests this sub. #earthquakejokes That dog is probably fairly decent sized, but looks like a newborn puppy next to the sub :laugh:. And the 42" looks like an iPad. And I cannot emphasize how much of a stupid smile the PSA has put on my face. It's...

Was chatting with Tom about wanting to do the BR 5.1 and my space limitations. He made some great recommendations (some of which I'd been considering like the Rythmik L12 and a 12" Hsu model, both in the $500 range...but to be honest it's just making me want to try and justify the S1500...

And...I've been so happy running the 15S all of last night and most of today...I'm now putting the S1500 on my short list for the bedroom. It's sealed and so small (for a 15") that I'm considering it despite the fact it's more than what I initially wanted to spend. I'm able to consider it...

Does it help or hurt if I tell you the footprint on Tom's 15" subs is not much bigger than most 12" enclosures? :wacko:

Too funny, Mike, it seems I've infected you and John with upgradeitis. I think they make a shot for that. I never owned an SVS sub (wanted to since the beginning but had already bought the Energy and was in a very different financial situation than I am now). So I can't tell you if you'll have...

Thanks John for the recommendations. I'm planning to head out to Amoeba Music this weekend, I'll look for either one (hopefully used at a good price since I'm not familiar with either).

For those who may be wondering why PSA isn't on my bedroom sub list, the 15S is the smallest they make, and it's way too big for the bedroom. Also, I figure that would be a good chance to give another ID company a chance to impress me with their product, and both Hsu and Rythmik are very well...
