Hi all.

This site looks to be growing very quickly..

Congrats to all involved...Especially to Sonnie who has spent so much time refining his BFD Guide over the years. I have sent SVS owners to his site more times than I could count!

Thanks for joining us Tom.

I have yet to hear an SVS. I just don't have the faith to buy anything unheard.

I hope that as this site grows, I'll meet some Virginia HT enthusiats who'll give me that chance.

Hey Tom...

Welcome to the Shack!

It's great to have you guys from SVS here. I believe we'll eventually have a lot of SVS content here being we are so much about subs and such... and with SVS having the name it has.

Dan... if you ever get a chance to hear SVS... I bet you'd be impressed.

Great to have you here Tom!

For anyone that hasn't "seen" Tom before, he has always been one of the most helpful/honest/nice people I've seen on the various AVS forums.. oh, and he's involved with one of the best subwoofer companies in the world. SVS has a well deserved reputation as having top notch products at amazing prices with awesome customer service.

Hey Tom,
Although we've never spoken I've seen your name a lot on the forums, always in a positive manner

Welcome

Hi Tom and welcome, looks like life has come full circle.
I'm a two SVS sub household, and you put me onto Sonnies guide and the BFD.
Now you can help me stop my ducting resonating!

Hey Tom,

Welcome to the Shack!

I love my SVS subs and have been a supporter of yours since you guys started. Glad that you guys are around.

Hi Wanye..

Closing in on 500 members...within 3 weeks?

That might be a record for a new HT/AV forum..

Tom,

I am so glad that you and the others at SVS are so active on the forums. You all keep us on our toes! Please feel free to jump in anytime and correct factual errors. And you guys build very fine/(value for the $) subwoofers. I'm pleased with my PCU. But I had fun trying to outdo it (think I succeeded) with an expensive DIY (15" XBL^2 with two 18" PRs in a 200L enclosure) at least in performance (not bang for the $) for a large 7k ft^3 room. It will be interesting to see the next gen TV-12. Maybe a TV-15 sometime? Or a new design B4.

Hi Bob,

DIY will always be "king of the (bass) hill"..

I used a 70" tall, 30" diameter sonotube in my HT room back in the 1990s. Now, it is in our main shop floor at the SVS factory. It actually fills the (approx) 100,000 cu-ft fairly well.

We still help with DIY designs at least once a week (running sims on leap, making basic design suggestions, stuff like that). I've seen enough of your posts to know you know what you are doing though.With a long throw 15 in a large PRed enclosure...no surprise you outgunned the PCU..

We have to worry about stuff like "ship-ability" and we have to put everything to long and sometimes costly safety checks( including CE certification for most products now). DIYers are lucky...they can make them as large as needed and don't have to worry about a little sticker on the amp..

Welcome Tom

Great to see you here.
Ive had my 20-39pc+ alittle over a week now and I have nothing but praises for both the sub and service I received. With the help from both Sonnie and Bruce Ill soon have it tuned to prefection.
Snuck a pic of my wife with her SVS tee. I cant she likes the SVS as much as I do. Could be something to do with catching me hugging it the other day

Although she loves the tee and wrote out the CC bill with the SVS pen. I WIN...
