OK all you SVS fans. I have a largish room for HT. I am interested in the pb-10isd on up. What SVS do you have, what size room (LxWxH or cubic feet) is it in and do you think it fills the room well? Just curious, thanks...

    you may want to move up to the next SVS up the chain. the PB 12isd instead. and for not much more money.

    the round subs are good too. and they are very light weight compared to the box subs.. and offer the same good thump for your dollar.

    I called them on Tuesday when I ordered my PCi 20-39. After I gave him my room dimensions (17 x 14 x 7.5) I was told that either the 25-31 or 20-39 would be good. I decided on the 20-39 because if its too much for the room, I can always turn the gain down - and its only a $50 difference. Better to have and not need than to need and not have IMHO. ;)

    Thinking about a pb plus/2 in a 15x15x8.5 room. Either this or DIY. Any suggestions or would the ultra/2 be worth saving for?
