Re: What SVS to get?


I'd also like to hear your thoughts about the PB12-NSD/2. I'm sure there are better sounding subs out there than the NSD line, but honestly I've found the two PB10's I'm using in my 900 cubic foot room to sound great with both music and HT, as well as creating a very visceral experience . I think you'll really like the PB12-NSD/2.

Re: What SVS to get?


Okay, so got my sub yesterday and am still fine tuning but...............

HOLY COW, this thing pounds.

I can't wait to get it just right. That being said, as of most of you can appreciate, my better half HATES how huge it is.

Thanks for all of the tips.

Congrats on your new PB12-NSD/2! I'm not surprised you like it (or that your wife doesn't ). That thing should totally rock your room. Make sure to take the time to dial it in...you think it sounds good now, wait until it's perfectly integrated. Keep us all posted.

Re: What SVS to get?


Thanks. One other question, I am having to give up on some ideas as my other half has to have things pleasing to the eye. My ht room has a wall which I have back side access to via another room. That being said, she is asking me to recess my center speaker in the wall, sort of in a bookshelf type config. How much sound quality will I lose by doing so? My speaker was already mounted so close to the wall just above my TV with the ports almost touching the wall. It we are only talking a small decrease I am okay, but if it will sound like then NO GO

Re: What SVS to get?


Ahhhh see we told you how that thing is going to be thunder... Now, you didn't mention too much about WAF approval, so can't help ya on that part, we would have told you the thing is GYNORMOUS !!!! I have 2 of those size in my great room, and they just dissapear nicely.... really big room...

What model speakers and center are you talking about here.... ported speakers too close to the wall or in a cabinet will produce a loss in sound quality...

Re: What SVS to get?


The speakers in question are Focal Chorus and I am just refering to the center channel.

Thanks for the help.

Re: What SVS to get?


haha, the family sat down to watch a movie the other night, Finding Nemo to be specific, and as the movie was playing my wife asked if I had gotten those things that shake your behind. I chuckled and said, not yet, that feeling is all of MY BRAND NEW SVS Sub. Thanks again everyone. I love this thing.

. Sounds like she's warming up to your new toy. Glad you like it so much.

If you can get your hands on one, I have a PB12-ultra/2 and am completely satisfied with it. I wonder how the PB13s compare? The ultra/2 is easily the size of a coffee table.

Yep, the wife is warming up for sure. I actually just added some Aura shakers and she just laughs when it all kicks in. Only problem I have now is I need to go through out my house and put felt pads on the back of every picture hanging on the wall. It rattles like crazy.
