New SVS PB-12 NSD-V

[Rogodin2]

Sometimes you need to spoil yourself, even though you buy something that uses most of your homegrid kwh production.

Truly deep bass is something necessary.

Have any of you experienced SVS?

That's one big ass sub!

Do you mean that I'm not walking 'my' path Throckmorton?

JackBurton-it is big, the damn thing weighs 115lbs.

He doesn't need to. If he cranks that pig up loud enough it'll break his house off the foundation and bounce it down the path for him.

I'll get one once I get a job... Meanwhile my VX-10 will have to tide me over.

So sub can overcome your room.

-edit-

It's not a slam, but put spend some time on positioning.

Yes I've heard them. Not very "musical" but good for HT stuff and produces a sufficient SPL for enjoyment. Very good performance at a bargain price!

Did you tweak the subs you listened too? There is no way to have the sub tuned for both listening preferences.

Here's the problem today:

Most people don't want to overwhelm their listening area with speakers. So they buy small satellites and put the burden of the critical mid and low bass to the so called "subwoofer". I blame this on Dr. Amar G. Bose completely for in the 1980's of coming with this silly acoustimess system using bandpass boxies.

Now if you have DECENT mains that can produce really good tight snappy bass to at least 50-60 Hz then a subwoofer can do some good. Really two or more are nice (unless you're in a 10x10 room hehe) as the more you have the better. If the driver(s) are moving 30% of xmax at the highest "sane" position you should stay out of the danger zone (distortion wise) when the insane stuff is called up.

Really expensive mains can produce an honest 20Hz but these are costly AND require an equally costly amp and circuit to drive. But it's still possible to produce 120 dB SPL across the normal 20-20k range without breaking the bank. But it may look ugly.

And for those saying 120 dB SPL is overkill or not needed I suggest you head to a drum room and listen to the snapping of a snare. The key here is dynamic range. Of course if all you listen to is pop it really doesn't matter now does it?

Of course I'm biased.

I run wharfedale opus 1s as my mains-center. They are underpowered until I get my new receiver with preamp outs (then I can tri-amp them).

Where did you learn so much about audio?
