Well, SVS surprises me again. Since receiving my 20-39 PC+, I hadn't yet tried piping TV stereo-broadcasted shows through all speakers via all channel stereo mode. I did this when I had my Infinity sub and now that it has been replaced by the SVS, TV sound is now spectacular by comparison.

This sub is constantly blowing me away, even at very low volumes. I owe a lot to this forum and the folks on it who provided me with advice and high recommendations; without them, I probably never would have heard of or considered SVS. Word of mouth has a lot of power.

    Yes, the SVS impresses more over time as you begin to appreciate the nuances it brings to bass, even at low volumes.

    I run TV through 7 channel myself and like it.

    Glad you are loving it........send Tom/Ron and email; they eat that stuff up and really appreciate the feedback.

    Kberg, what is the setting of your TX-SR600 with that setup?
    main L/R (small or large ?)
    crossover (80/100/120 ?)
    Sorry for asking. I just noticed we have a very similar system except for sub (HSU) and L/R surrounds (FXi50). My setup is fairly new and need some tweaking advise....

    Hey fort,

    All speaks small, 80Hz. Be sure to tweak with the use of an SPL meter and a calibration disk such as Sound & Vision, Avia or the new Digital Video Essentials disk.

    Thanks. I find that better than my previous setting at large/80Hz. I also realized that 'direct' mode is not affected by large/small setting in TX-SR600. ;)
