from SVS Summary:
I like to do a lot of research before buying a product, knowing that when i spend my money it wasn't wasted. Time and time again, i've done research and picked what i thought was the best product in my price range. I also have very high expectations. In reading these reviews, i often get my expectations up and am more often than not disappointed with the actual products when it arrives. Not that they're not great products, i was just expecting more.
My expectations for this sub couldn't have been higher. After reading online reviews and user forums for months, i had built myself up to be disappointed again.
The sub arrived in a large, fairly heavy box (80lbs). Getting it unpacked was failry easy, taking a couple pieces of foam out of the box and sliding it out. I can't help but wonder how many subs are damaged from being dropped, as there isn't much protection on top or bottom. I wasn't prepared how big the sub was, even though i took measurements and thought i had an idea. It's covered in a nice black cloth, like a silky felt. It's the only color it comes in.
Hooking up the sub was literally a 5 minute job. Slide it into positiion, plug it in, very easy. Calibrating it takes about an hour. I highly recommend an SPL meter and AVIA disc.
After setting up it, it was time to run it through it through its paces. I popped in Revenge of the Sith and hit play. I was absolutely blown away. My dog started barking, not knowing what was shaking the house. My wife, usually just appeases me and says "i'm glad you're happy", not being able to hear a difference in most of my audio purchases. Not this time. You can not only hear deep bass, but feel it as well. It's clean, fast, and deep.
Then i started putting in some of my music CD's. I have heard people say in the past they were hearing details they never heard before and thought this was an exaggeration at best. I'm happy to report it isn't. Bass chords that were a muddy part of the background now came alive. Bass guitar and drums were awesome. I listened to music all night.
This is the only time in the last 10 years that my expectations have not only been exceeded but crushed. I couldn't recommend this sub more. Highest recommendation. Strengths:
Clean powerful bass you can feel. Amazing power and subtlely. Weaknesses:
It's BIG. Only one finishing option. Similar Products Used:
Nothing i have ever used remotely compares with this sub. I have a Klipsch sub, but it's now a doorstop.
