Congrats... you should enjoy that sub very well. I had it in my very large great room with WOTW and was extremely impressed. :T
Newbie just joined the SvS club
:nerd: I just purchased an PB10-NSD from a forum member on here.
I can't wait to get it.
I originally came from a Cadence csx15, and prior to that, Vel VRP1200 and older DCM 10" (can't remember the model number)
~ But yea.... I will be joining this sub along with HTD Level2 5 channel setup.
Sad thing is, we're in the process of moving, yep into a much, much smaller home... well ok Townhome, but I have a strong feeling my neighbors are not going to like us much between the walls

Thanks I am enjoying it
I'm assuming you've had some time to listen to the SB12-Plus. Any comparisons between the SB12 Plus and MFW-15? Though the little SVS won't be able to compete in terms of sheer output and extension, it seems like quite the performer in a very WAF-friendly package
.I thought you might find the SB12-Plus a bit lacking in output and extension after using the MFW-15. A tiny sealed enclosure with a 12" driver simply can't keep up with a larger ported enclosure with a 15" driver, especially down deep. The two subs are clearly designed with very different goals in mind. The MFW-15 looks great but is larger and has a larger appeal to HT users. The SB12-Plus is targeted toward the decor-conscious user who requires good bass in a very small package. I've read of users who have used dual SB12-Pluses as stereo subs for music systems with great success. I also think the SB12-Plus would be impressive to many people as a HT subwoofer in small to medium sized rooms. Since you already own an excellent subwoofer in the MFW-15, your bass standards are already much higher than most
.BTW, the Ultra is an excellent subwoofer and should be a noticeable improvement from the MFW-15. If you put the Ultra in its 15hz tune, you'll really notice the extra depth and power down low over the MFW-15 with certain movie soundtracks.
Thanks for posting your impressions. I always enjoy feedback from people who have used several different subwoofers. While I'd love to audition many subs myself, subjective reviews by people who have heard several themselves (particularly in the same listening environment) are the next best thing. Keep us updated if there are any new developments

What SPL levels were you able to reach on WOTW? I have dual PB13 Ultras and am able to achieve 118/119 dB MAX. I am thinking I need another Ultra or two (just to make it even :yes
to achieve the 121/122 dBs that others state you should be reaching when your satellites are set to small. I have a ~6400 cubic ft basement (not sealed), so I have a much larger space to fill then you.
Who are these others? 75db with 115db peaks is reference level if your system is calibrated properly. 122db is reachable if you have more than one PB13U in an average sized room.I am thinking I need another Ultra or two (just to make it even :yes
