Yes thanks to Mark's generosity & hospitality! Another awesome EB with great food.

I think another member suffers SARS attack after attending the EB. ;D

Bilib ako kay Tirso manghula! Value for money, these are the best 2 Denons out there. "CI" pa ang kinuha ni Arn, kaya pwede calibrate ng Audyssey MultEQ Pro.

Manghuhula nga talaga ang brader Tirso! These are the cheapest, value for money Denons with MultEQ XT and with CI have the option for MultEQ Pro. I opted for the one with the (presumably) slightly better amp section, since wala akong budget for external power amps like mark and jay, hehe



kelan ba ang dating brader?

sana nga walang sabit anoh ....

I expect late August, brader, although sana as early as 3rd week. Naka-kaba yung balita ni AVR king nogie kasi ....

For some time now, I’ve had 4 subs – 2 Paradigm Servo-15 v.2’s, an SVS PB-12 NSD and a Velo HGS-15. In other posts, I've explained that I need so many subs because my dedicated room is so big (about 6300 cubic feet) and the more subs you have, the smoother is your bass.

For a couple of months, I’ve been thinking of replacing the Velo HGS-15 with another SVS PB-12 NSD. The reason is that the Velo can’t go low or too loud and I felt it was likely affecting the overall bass performance, particularly how low the bass could go. Nawawala ang “shake” which you feel with bass that goes below 20 Hz.

I decided to borrow another PB-12 NSD from Mike C. After about 5 hours of setting it up and auditioning (using an SVS AS-EQ1, Audyssey MultEQ Pro and countless experimenting with sub positioning), I was certain that it was making a significant improvement. Now, I can finally feel the “oomph” in Incredible Hulk, Master and Commander, War of the Worlds and other movies. So … I bought it.

To be truthful, you “feel” the effect only with action movies and even then, usually very few times in a film. Yet, that effect is certainly part of what the director intended for the film and if you don’t “feel” it, you don’t get the full experience of the film – it wakes you up!

For now, I’m pretty happy with the speaker set-up … probably until I win the lotto or something similar.

Thanks, Mike!  :)

Thanks, guys!

@Gaol, yes, I am now running 2 x Paradigm Servo-15 v.2's and 2 x SVS PB-12 NSD. The Paradigm has its own advantages - its a sealed sub and let's just say that it's more accurate, especially with music material. However, each Paradigm costs much more than even the SVS PB-13 Ultra and they don't go below 20 Hz. That's why I say that the SVS subs are "value for money".

@Onkyo606, next time na EB. Yes, improvements in this hobby are actually endless. The important thing is to research well and be honest to yourself. Don't fool yourself into thinking that this beautiful new "whatever" will improve your system. Study it carefully and if possible, test it with a friend. That's why I spent more than 5 hours optimizing the new sub before I could say that it had truly made an improvement in my system.

@Stagea, nope, I've retired my Velo HGS-15 ... unless someone wants to buy it.

Hi Mark, does the sound quality default to the less capable sub/s (Although both svs and paradigm are very much capable, I'm sure)? Like what happened to Jay2's setup: the velodyne was affecting the performance such that when we removed it from the setup, the performance of just the dual pb13 ultras was much better despite having 1 less sub in the configuration?

Kung baga, in terms of LFE extension, does the Paradigm hold back the SVS, and does the SVS affect the musical quality of the Paradigm? In other words, what is the effect, whether positive or negative, of mixing 2 very different sets of subs?

Do I make sense? hehe
