    SVS Ultras. One or Two? Maybe even B-4+

    it's a good point.... but maybe it's just too scared to come out; imagine if your first real taste of the outside world was the balrog in LOTR roaring at about 110db... :) - jd

    hi demas, i currently have def tech bp2000tl's for mains, but i'm about to sell them to a friend and upgrade. and you're totally right about reference levels when they're reproduced without distortion - they become very non-fatiguing, comfortable, and very listenable; my wife, who used to...

    mike, glad you got them. yeah - it's a salamander and bp2000tl's. i'm actually selling the def techs to a friend of mine along with my receiver, and upgrading. maybe i'll send you before and after pictures. let me know how you come out on the ultras/B4 thing. take it easy. - jd

    hi mike, well, if you already have a K2, you wouldn't need to get amplification for the B4, so you're still paying about $1100 less for the B4, no? be that as it may, the finish of the B4 is simply gorgeous. if you give me your email address, i'll send you some pictures of it in my living...

    mike, i guess it depends on your priorities - for instance, 4 ultras will run you $3600, while the B4 costs only $2499. what's more, i'm not sure if a K2 would be able to drive all four ultras, so you might have to invest in another amp if you went with the cylinders. similarly, 4 ultras...

    adam, i' can't say i know what the finish on the rockets looks like, but there's a wide range of finishes available for the B4 - if you look at the B4 page on the SVS website, you can find the link where it tells you to pick out your color... for convenience, though, this is the page it...

    adam, congratulations on your decision - if you're even a fraction as pleased with yours as i am with mine, then you'll have paid only a fraction as much as the B4 will be worth to you... as for the amps, i would honestly email tom vodhanel at SVS - he will shoot you totally and...

    adam, i'm not sure what that means, either. maybe that the amp requires 12 amps to drive a pink-noise signal at 1/8 power (about 425w).... but if it says that it's bridgeable into 4 ohms, then i don't see why you couldn't use it with the B4. that'd be a hell of a thing. maybe you will...

    seth, you're right, of course - i mean only to refer to retail offerings. of course, if i wanted to be a stickler, i could price you out of the running simply by valuing my discretionary time at a stiff premium - say $1000/hour. but i'm not a stickler, and even if i were, i would still...

    adam, is there a particularly bad problem with power surges/brownouts where you are? i know there are in certain areas, but if there isn't a notably bad one in astoria, then i would say just keep the belden, at least for now, and use your money on the audio equipment itself. anyway, for...

    well, i have the B4 in my living room, and i can without qualification or reservation recommend it to you, adam, especially with a room as big as yours. there is absolutely no better subwoofer value out there. period. on a dollar-per-clean-low-decibel basis, it's simply and straightforwardly...
