Great! Looking forward to seing your review!!
First let me point out that the size is HUGE. Even the box...
(Luckily I was this time a little more prepared than when got my PB10)
But it's HUGE


Well, just took the first smoke.



Have Denon 3808 as Amp - so first setted the sub soundlevel, with RS SPL, on ca same as the other speakers. Then run the Audessey once, with seve calibrating points. Afterwards set the main&center to small, but kept the crossover at 40Hz. Pushed sub +3,5 dB to warm. (Didn't measure this time, only from the menu...)
(Sub: no crossover, no eq, etc. - just gain was adjusted)

Have Mission Elegante e8 series 5.0 system (+ 0.1 with SVS PB13-Ultra now)

Tested with Matrix DD 5.1 (The scenes SVS recommend)
wasn't having huge volume at first - so hoping only for piip - got KABOOM!!! :raped:

What a difference! (Had SVS PB10-ISD earlier - and was very happy with it too)

Speed, accuracy, clarity & level is amazing - in a totally different league than PB10 was.
(½h ago I didn't understand what those terms actually even mean - but it became instantly obvious )

So have now played maybe 20min with this ******* (no formal analysis of room aquatics measured - have BFD FBD waiting also if needed)

Based on this little test -
This unit cost a lot - but obviously it already proved to be worth every cent.


Now off to test with Dark City & Contact (Two more movies I have that SVS recommend for testing)

(Now If I could stop greening from ear to ear... )


Criticism is just optimism looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. -
