I had the pleasure to audition mlong's SVS sub today. mlong is a new member and it was a pleasure to do business with and hang with 'em for a bit. This sub was an absolute monster and the most incredible sounding sub I have ever witnessed. Mark had SDA's front and back with my (his now) CSi30 and THAT SVS. It was just an incredible listening experience. Now I know why the SVS's have the reputation they do. Hope that concrete floor stands up to the abuse. Not to mention the structure integrity of his house. Mark, all ya need now is a kickass amp(s), some DVD-A equipement and a little tweaking. I'm in envy! Just wish I had more time to spend feeling the earth shake.

Just my thoughts.

    It’s nice to see a non SVS owner appreciate the output quality of these units and now understand why owners are so vocal of the product line.

    Thanks Greg. Trying to explain to regular folks why I spent $1000.00 on a subwoofer is pretty easy with the SVS demo. I half expected you to duck and cover when Darla was tapping on the aquarium in Finding Nemo. When I was given a demo of the SVS at Doro's, I left his house knowing that no matter how much I loved my system, I wouldn't feel I had completed the Theater part of Home Theater without that sub. I am amazed at how much it adds to everything from DVD's to Digital Cable, to.... oh, yeah, Music!

    Unfortunately, now I have to find a home for my gorgeous Polk 550 subwoofer which I have owned for only 3 weeks.

    It was a pleasure doing business with you also. Next time you come down, I'll have some "REAL" demo's to show you!

    As a followup to my thread from nine years ago, when I sold the Polk 550 SW, I gave the buyer a demo of U571 (I think that is the name) and when the depth charges exploded he dove for the floor covering his head. No joke. I laughed so long and so hard I thought he was going to cancel the transaction for laughing at him).

    In February I purchased my first real sub. Yup SVS-PB-2000. This sub rocks music and movies like it's nobody's business. I am truly enjoying this monster of a sub!

    I think I read on this forum that the chase scene in finding Nemo is very good for HT / sub demo as well.

    Those are the two dvd's I use for demos, U571 and Finding Nemo. As I recall, I think that is what Dorokusai used to demo the SVS in the first place. I guess when it comes down to it, I just keep following in his tracks like lemming.

    It's a pretty big investment both financially and space-wise but it really has added to my enjoyment. Watching 24 and Lost (the smoke monster) were just amazing through it. You'll get a lot of years of enjoyment out of it.

    Dual PC-12NSD's in my theater. I've made a number of people jump out of of their seats on hard bass hits. Cracks me up every time.

    Don't forget Tron Legacy for some deep, deep bass. My theater is in the basement, and scenes from that movie move just about every picture on the walls upstairs.

    I bought a 20-39PC several years ago- maybe 2003 or 2004- and it is still going strong. An amazing piece of equipment.
