Is the Polk site just ahead of the curve?

I just got the latest issue of S&V. They have an article on subwoofers.. they test 10. Not an SVS in the bunch. I know Dr. Spec. has had a lot to do with people here checking out SVS, but the bottom line is, if SVS subs weren't cutting it, people wouldn't keep them and wouldn't recommend them. Even my home-built sub uses a TC Sounds driver in a tube, which SVS has utilized (I honestly don't know how many of the current SVS subs use TC drivers.)

I was pretty surprised, and disappointed, that S&V didn't have a SVS sub in the test, especially because they included a Pinnacle, Atlantic Technology, and Cambridge Sound works. Maybe the overall sales numbers aren't there for SVS, but I think the Internet buzz would've counted for something.

Maybe a letter or two to the editor is appropriate here? I can't write one given I don't actually have an SVS sub.. but SVS is a commercial manufacturer that has tapped into the DIY market, and I expected to see at least one SVS sub in the report.

Just sharing, I guess. I like S&V.. I think they honestly try to help the 'average' guy that doesn't have an above average yearly salary ... and who can't spend a year's salary on their system. Maybe I'm biased on this reaction because SVS has such a solid ...and growing.. following here.
