Just wanted to let you guys know that I just recently purchased the SVS PB12ultra/2. I currenty have a PSW505 sub. This SVS better be what you guys say it will. You guys sure do hype svs pretty good. I am counting on you not to dissappoint me.

Anyway, thanks for all the feedback on these issues and will let you know how it does.

    Holy crap... an Ultra 2???

    Dude... that is a MONSTER - you better buy a seat belt! The difference over your 505 will be staggering, for the lack of a better word.

    there are STILL people out there who have doubts about what an SVS sub can do? seriously? soon as marcpam gets his and set up.. the words from his mouth will go something like this. OMG! I have never heard such deep pounding bass in my life... etc.. this thing rocks!!

    they all say that after the first listen. ;)

    I have no doubt you will be extrememly pleased with your SVS purchase. More than likely, it WILL make you jump the first time you feel that powerful, deep bass in a movie soundtrack.

    Did anybody actually make sure that marcpam actually wants flat deep bass? I know several people are underwhelmed by SVS because they are so used to the "one not wonders" at the B&M stores?

    Keith:
    Any of those subs will do very well for both HT and music. My PB12/2+ has no trouble keeping up and blending with my big maggies so I doubt you'd find any of the subs to be unsatisfactory to your tastes.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    That's kinda how I first felt when I first dropped the sub in, then I noticed that I hadn't turned my PB12-ISD/2 on...

    It takes a little getting used to not always knowing when the sub kicked in, but it's definately worth it. :)

    hey guys,

    sorry for the delayed response. I have actually cancelled the order and just recently went with the PB12plus/2. This is what Ron V. at SVS recommended for my space. I have already ordered it and I should have a track number on Monday. I will definitely let you guys know the outcome. Again, it is replacing a PSW505.

    Here is my recomendation for keeping pictures on the walls...

    Order some foam gasket tape and put them on the corners of every picture in the room - this keeps them from bobbing back and forth... it also quiets up the room a bit...

    Trust me on this one...

    Congrats

    has anyone listened to the pearl harbor bomb sequence with their svs. If so, how does it sound.

    I am referring to the scene where they drop the bomb on the ship and there is a delay and when the timer stops the ship explodes.


    anyone know what i am referring to
