As you all know I just received my new SVS. After I got the bad boy unpacked (I have seen nothing that tops the SVS packaging job), hooked up yesterday, and then calibrated, I threw some material at it. 1st off was The new DTS DVD of Jurassic Park - Chapter 11. HOLY SH*T!!!! It felt like the damn T-Rex was going to burst through my wall and have me as a snack. Gone was the boominess of my Energy and in was the deepest and most tightest bass I have ever felt/heard.
Next I put in The Matrix - Lobby Shootout through the Helicopter explosion. Again, HOLY SH*T!!!! The scene where Neo punches the cop in the chest after walking through the metal detector was incredible, the bass just punched you in the stomach. The helicopter explosion was fantastic. When that chopper crashed into the building, I thought my seat was going to fall apart.
I then wanted to hear how the SVS sounded with music.I listened to a couple of songs from Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile and a couple off of Tool - Lateralus. Again, bass was as tight as can be and not boomy at all. The bass punched you in the gut and made you smile at it.
So if you can't tell I am very happy with my new sub.
I still can't get over how cheap theses things cost. I was listening to $1000+ subs a couple of weeks ago that couldn't touch SVS. I highly recommend SVS to anyone.
Now a couple of questions for Tom and Ron.
1. Since I am using a stereo receiver as an amp to power the SVS, what should the Bass and Treble controls be set at on the receiver? Should they both be turned all the way down, both at the 12 o' clock position, all the way up? Right now I have treble all the way down and bass at the 9 o' clock position.
2. I was told not to put a sub on a wall that is an outside wall of your house. Currently, I have the SVS in a corner that has does have an outside wall there. Is this OK, or should I move it to a spot that isn't on an outside wall?
Again, thanks for the fast shipment and the outstanding product. I have never been as happy with a piece of HT equipment as I am with my new SVS.
