Ok well i was taking a break from the board but couldn't resist this post..

All the SVS sub hype bit me, I just ordered a PB1-ISD Tan granite.. I can't wait to get it.. basic black was back ordered and my wife liked the Tan granite and she is into this stuff almost as much as me,

So it should ship tomorrow and be here next week,, I will update when it gets here and with pictures...

    I know i posted this before, but just a refresher of what this sub "could/should do in my room

    quoted from Tom @ SVS

    The 20-39PCi and the PB-1 will perform nearly identically from about 22-23hz and up…under that and the 20-39PCi will have a very slight edge. In your room, both of these options will extend down to the 16-18hz range, providing a clean 112-118dBs of output.(very low and very loud). The smaller the room, the deeper a given subwoofer will extend. This is due to the acoustical phenomenon commonly referred to as *room gain*.

    Good deal.. have you considered the box svs's?? I was reading on their site, the tube weighs in at 55 lbs, and the Pb1 is 78lbs.. alot heavier... Both great subs (from what ive heard) But i choose the traditional for looks mostly.. and then went a step further and tried the new colors as well.. I can't wait.. its killing me really.. i hope its all i think it is and more.. I know it will be, Some smart people on this board have them and notice the difference and i take their words of knowledge to heart with this purchase.. Because to be Honest this is a large purchase for us for one speaker.. besides buying our Avr that is..

    It should very well be the last sub purchase you make.

    Consider the LFE section of your HT *done*, there is really nothing else you could do to improve it, at ANY price.

    A. Subsonic response
    B. >110db useable output

    End of story.

    Cheers
    Russ

    Oh, depending on what you use now, maybe next month, splurge on a GOOD sub cable. Don't run that Ferrari on regular gas.

    Signal Cable makes a sub cable that you may have tailored to an exact length. $25/ 2ft standard + $5/ each addt'l 2 ft. Just a thought.

    Faster, buy that pair of cables (if 10ft is long enough). When you get them, send me one, we'll split the cost.

    Cheers,

    If faster doesn't want to, anyone else?

    $25 for the first 2 foot and $5 extra for each foot after 2?? is that what i read, could end up pretty costly as the sub is about 8-10 foot from the avr.. Thanks for the suggestion though.. or was that 2 meter..

    edit, i went to the website.. 25 for 2 foot +5 for every 2 foot afterwards, IE: 10 foot = $45.00 not to bad.. Thanks doro..

    Sure it's a good sub cable, it carries an audio signal quite nicely.

    I edited it, yea typo on my part. The MIT is a very nice cable also.

    Frank(Signal) mentioned that they did some tests against the Monster M or Z series sub cable and crushed it. Not bad for an essentially homegrown cable.
