Hi all,
Well, I've been a member now for around two months (Wow, that's it? It seems like much longer.) and already I have purchased a new DVD player without the chroma bug and just yesterday a new sub. After hearing so many good things about SVS and their performance with movies and the customer service, I had to check one out. I was a little leary to order from an online only store without hearing the product even with the return policy. With the many happy owners in this forum I was about to pull the trigger anyway. And talking with Tom and him answering my many many e-mails even when I told him it would be months before I could buy one, I was almost swayed. Then I noticed that some guys in Cincinnatti were organizing a HTF Meet. I didn't think four hours was too bad a drive so I went down there and had a blast. Meeting the guys was great (going to attend the next one too), and LaMarcus brought his SVS for everyone to hear. It only took one listen of the bass CD I brought and I was sold. My current sub is tuned to 30Hz and I didn't know some of the bass on that CD was even there. And the lower the SVS went, the louder it seemed. After the CD, and calibration, we watched some movies and I couldn't wait to get home to order my own SVS. I can't believe I was a little bit of a skeptic either. I also can't believe I considered two! I have to thank LaMarcus for talking me out of that. One is plenty for my space.
It's only been two weeks since the meet, but I placed my order in for a 20-39 PC Plus. I can't wait! They ship from Ohio so hopefully I won't have to wait too long. I am glad I am joining all of you our there who also went the SVS route. I am still new to all this, I might try the DIY route next time, but that'll be a long time from now anyway. Don't have the time because of school.
Sorry such a long thread, but I had to share my excitement, my friend's here in Cleveland think I am crazy to be into HT like I am. What do they know!
Thanks for listening,
George
