KUDOS to SVS packaging

**mike c** · **02-29-08, 12:22 AM**

my dual PB13 Ultras have arrived ...
they have the FOAM supports inside - all around the sub, built in pallete, even plastic thingies that protect the box from the straps that hold the box to the pallete.

opened up

but I haven't run these yet. too tired.

thank you to Ron Stimpson for sneaking a free SPL meter in there ... and for the shirt and cap.

thank you Ed Mullen for tolerating all my dumb questions ...

thank you to Erik K for making the transaction smooth

Awesome Mike! I'd be jealous of you if I didn't have an Ultra13 here that I'm listening to literally as I type this (Doobie Brothers Live at Wolf Trap).

Please be sure to keep us updated on the progress as you dial them in. Prepare to be amazed. Really.

Hey Ron, ... where's MY hat?

Tim

**mike c** · **02-29-08, 01:40 AM**

thanks Tim

buy a second one, i'm sure Ron will send you your hat

**mike c** · **02-29-08, 02:40 AM**

i can't wait to get home!

this has been a long time coming. At first I ordered dual PB12PLUSes, but the CE certification was pending then. then there was the April 2007 pre-order of the Ultras, I fell in line then and there. so that's more than a year's waiting for me to get these Ultras

I guess that's why Ron sneaked in the goodies

**tonyvdb** · **02-29-08, 09:13 AM**

Ok, Now I'm drooling

I cant wait for my PB13 to arrive. Just curious, do they come with a gril to cover the driver or is that an extra?

**Sonnie** · **02-29-08, 09:25 AM**

I was equally impressed with the packaging of my PC-Ultras... I should have taken pics. SVS goes the extra needed for solid and secure packing. There are many manufacturers that should take note... it probably only cost a few dollars to make it happen.

Congrats!

**mike c** · **02-29-08, 04:04 PM**

tony, at the moment, they ship with FREE cloth grills.

when the metal grills become available, SVS will also ship those for FREE as well.

thanks sonnie.

I will be making the drive soon to the SVSounds showroom Ohio manufacturing facility (SV Subwoofers LLC, 6420 Belmont Ave., Girard, Ohio, 44420) to pick up my SBS-01 system and will take as many pictures as they will allow.

have a listen to all their subs as well, so you can gain the experience of "upgrading" between their models without spending a lot of money

**bgilly** · **03-01-08, 03:15 PM**

How do you actually move one of these beasts with only one person? LOL

**mike c** · **03-01-08, 04:36 PM**

bgilly, when on their own, I can move them (although strenuously) myself.
but I forgot to ask someone to help me remove the stacked pb13's. now those are impossible to push around, especially with the rubbery spiked feet.

**mmountainbiker** · **03-09-08, 06:33 PM**

I think I will be spending some more time in this forum because it seems to be a bit more SVS friendly

**mike c** · **03-09-08, 08:13 PM**

IMO, this forum (the SHACK) is friendly to all people and brands

**jvm051** · **03-10-08, 10:24 PM**

Yes there packing is top notch. When my Ultra was delivered, it looked like the shipping company drove one of the forks from the forklift through it. Even with that no problems whatsoever.

**Ron Temple** · **03-11-08, 01:09 PM**

Mike, have you had a chance to set these guys up yet?

**mike c** · **03-11-08, 06:16 PM**

hey RT,

nope, only the eD's are setup. i did watch the LFE demo disc from AVS quite a number of times with them. during the upcoming holidays (starting the 20th), I will switch the eD's with the ultras and watch those again.

you said I should take my time!

**Warpdrv** · **03-11-08, 07:20 PM**

Congrats there Mike... that is incredible...

Long journey, and finally you have heaven brought straight to your door... !!

long time no hear warpdrv. couldn't let you clear out the svs stocks on your own.

i guess you were the reason the plus models are all gone now

it has been a long journey indeed, i've been following svs since the ultra has been just a rumor

Ron S finally made it happen.

I can see you fading away and forgetting about the rest of the world now that you've got some toys

When you were waiting you were chiming in all over the place ...

hahaha. the hunt is always much much more enjoyable than the kill. sometimes I think, just considering to buy something will be more satisfying than actually buying stuff.

seriously though, even if I fade away from the forums, I'll make sure to pm you my initial comparison between the two pairs (for HT use mind you)

the wife is also standing in the way of me buying a Behringer EP2500 for the eD 13av.2 driver I bought. something about me not needing any more subs

It's always better to ask forgiveness than permission. I nearly picked up some vintage Polks last weekend that I'd been eyeing. Already had my story made up and approved

, but backed out at the last minute due to an attack of common sense...just can't fit another pair of huge floorstanders into my rig and have no room in the office.
