What SVS to get?


Hello all, I am building my home theater room and want to do it right the first time, within a budget that is. The room in question is 15 x 17. I am running a Pioineer Elite vsx-84txsi, Focal 800v Chorus front/center/rear speakers. Now I need to get a sub and I have heard nothing but good things about SVS. Any hints/tips/suggestions around which model I should go with would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, What is your Budget? Because that ultimately will be the deciding factor here.
If your looking for a good under $1000 sub the PB12-NSD/2 is a great sub.

Onkyo TXSR805, Samson Servo 300 amp
Mission 765 Mains, 4-762i's Surrounds, AR center PSC25, SVS PB13 Ultra & A/D/S MS3u sub
2 Audio control C131 EQ's, Toshiba XA2, Panasonic BD60, Pioneer LD
Sanyo Z4 pj, Viewsonic N3235w 32" HDTV

Two Channel system:
Yamaha RXV995, Mission 764i's, Yamaha YST FSW100 sub
Yamaha KX-393 Tape deck, CDC 805 CD changer, Samsung BDP1400, Sony turntable PS-T20, Nintendo Wii

I second the PB12-NSD/2 if you can't afford one of the 13-Ultras.

Ultra 13... hands down... for sound quality and power - by the looks of the equipment, if your looking to do it right the first time... thats the one... but you don't have a huge room there, the PB-12plus is a great sub for HT, and will do fine...

Again - First choice Ultra13 is the best of the best for the $$

I believe the PB12-NSD/2 is discontinued and no longer available.

Sho-nuff... they are out and gone... wow!

Thanks for the tips. Any thoughts on the tubes? How much better or worse are they than the box types? Thanks again for all the tips.

My PB10-ISD was hijacked yesterday :raped: (I was contacted and asked if I'm willing to sell my sub - got a nice compensation )

So now I'm whitout a sub
And local reseller just informed that piano balck PB13 is available in Mars, hopefully.

(Other colours could get now, but only piano black will do)

I know PB13 is just , but how am I to manage min two months whitout any sub waiting for it?

Any ideas? (And it has to be paino black )


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