Nice speakers Sir Mike especially the bipoles :o
thanks sir. i have been remiss in marketing the SVS speakers, i was too content on walk-ins who already wanted the speakers even before they heard them.

An opportunity in visiting MikeC in Graceland, is something that I wouldnt pass up. Even amidst the stories of that 'magic water' that he loves to offer to visitors, didnt scare me one bit ;D .........besides, I only got tupayb in my wallet anyway :D
I wanted to hear his SVS speakers right away, but Mike insisted that we have lunch first - its obvious that he waited for me, so who am I refuse good food, right?
But wait, was the food mixed with the magic water perhaps? As we were heading towards the table, I had a feeling that I was done for :D ;D
Just as we were finishing up lunch, a client arrived to pick up his orders - ahh, Im saved! ;D While Mike showed the client the various svs speakers - I just grabbed my cam to take some pics.
SSS-01 Dipole Surround. The speaker grill has metal pegs - nice touch! ;)

SCS-01 2 x 6" mids with 1 x tweet. Sealed type no port. Could be stand mount or hang on wall.

(http://i68.servimg.com/u/f68/11/88/38/44/dsc_0113.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=865&u=11883844)
MikeC explaining to the client the effects of drinking his magic water :D :D
(http://i68.servimg.com/u/f68/11/88/38/44/dsc_0114.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=866&u=11883844)
STS-01 Tower/Floorstander
(http://i68.servimg.com/u/f68/11/88/38/44/dsc_0115.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=867&u=11883844)

After everything was boxed up and Mike accompanying the client out, this finally left me alone to check out the SCS-01s that were hanging on the wall.
Looking at svs' website, I thought these SCS are small speakers - but they're really not. Each unit has 2 x 6" mids and a single tweeter. I was pleasantly surprised to see their true size in actual form.
Firing up Corrine May's "Fly Away" CD was a joy - even thou it was played by a dvdp powered by a Denon avr.
The sound was very clear and I was surprised how very neutral sounding the presentation was - not warm
and definitely not bright either. I was even pushing the volume up to fill Mike's 60sqm living room with loud music and was expecting my ears to ring - but there was none!
No enclosure resonance and no coloration - a very happy speaker to listen to!
If there's a downside, I would've wished it had more oomph in the lower frequency - but I guess thats why SVS makes subs anyway ;D
If you have ever imagined of using 3 center speakers for your HT LCR before, here's a perfect example of how a great match/sync speaker set would sound sonically. Unfortunately, Mike didnt have a SCS-01 center speaker for me to demo - so I could only imagine that would've been a blast!
The SCS-01s could be hanged on the wall as they're sealed units - no port. This makes you save both space & money for buying stands. So since you saved space, now you can place that SVS subwoofer below it ;)
The center channel even comes with its own base - in which you can either angle the speaker up or just fire straight - svs really thought of everything here!
Now I know why Mike's customers buy these speakers in complete sets - and not just by pairs. They even buy blindly without hearing them :o
I was just basically starting to put the speakers to its paces, but a quick glance at the tick-tock reminded me that I had to leave pretty soon to pick up my wife in Makati :(
Mike did persuade me to check out his HT upstairs and sample the Hulk's 10hz sonic cannon driven by his 3 Ultras, but had to desperately leave after a few minutes or suffer my wife's verbal cannons :D
Bitin talaga ako sobra - I still wanted to hear the surrounds as well as the STS-01 towers if Mike would grant my request in opening up some new stocks from his bodega ;D But alas, time was againts my fun today.........but I promised mike I will be back!
So if you guys are near Graceland......or heck, even if you're far - do check out these svs speakers and Im sure you wont be disappointed.........most specially since the 3 LCR costs less than 30k ;)

Oh hey mike - please dont apologize. My driver took all the wrong turns, so my planned 11am, became 12+ :P Besides, it was particularly traffic yesterday. Thanks nga pala for a lovely lunch - kaso iniwanan mo ako kaagad eh :D
Sayang I missed braders Dom and Martin yesterday - but I guess they were excited to get the new sub home - again, my congrats to the new svs club member!
I guess I missed Paul too who arrived later that afternoon - grabe pala ang Graceland every weekend! :o
Oh will definitely be back! Kaya ikabit mo na yung bago mong 54" plasma - i-wall mount mo din kaya para bagay dun sa wall mounted na SCS-01s...........and this time, please mount a SCS center channel speaker ha? :D ;D
Bitin man ako - but really had a great time spending it with your products! Thanks for being such a great host, Mike! ;) Till next time! ;D

Post by: juanch on Dec 05, 2010 at 09:21 AM
I arrived just when sir mardon was about to leave.
Mike's subs are really a different kind of beast. It can go low with very little distortion.
I do not think it was a good idea listening to his subs. Now, I find it difficult to listen to others :D
Also, had the chance to listen to his SCS-01 bookshelves in stereo extensively.
I'll try to attempt my own review.
With my reference disc in hand, I got to put the bookshelves to the test.
I requested Mike to turn off the sub so that I can focus on the bookshelves alone.
I first tested the speaker with
Voices.
Alison Krauss "wouldn't have made a difference" from the best audiophile voices album.
Immaculately produced the song sounded great as expected.
Her voice lacked the air that I was looking for(but that's my preference na)
Doris Day "orange colored sky" I personally think she has one of the most challenging voices for speakers because it is quite high and kinda nasal. A lesser speaker would have made her voice painful to the ears.
I was surprised when the SVS speakers reproduced her voice pleasantly.
Nat King Cole's "The Very Thought of You" and George Micheal's "Kissing a Fool.
Their voices were full and warm and a joy to listen to.
Classical music
"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and "Dance of the Reed Pipes" sounded good as well but lacked that something extra that elevates classical music to a whole different level.
R&B & Jazz
Craig David's "7 Days" & "rendezvous"
Both songs features acoustic guitars. It sounded crisp and real.
Dance & Pop
Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow"
Here I felt the bass was definitely lacking. ;D
Even mike felt the same way so we turned the sub on to enjoy the Boom Boom Boom's :D
Conclusion
Please be informed that I listened to his speakers without my preferred CD player & Amp so take my review with a grain of salt. Also the listening area isn't the most ideal for stereo listening with concrete walls and big windows surrounding the room.
I find these speakers perform best with voices and acoustic music involving guitars & pianos.
If you're the type who loves listening to Hip-Hop and Pop music make sure to purchase one of mike's subs along with the speakers.
For it's price the speakers are a very good value. :)
Mike, I hope to audition your dipole's next time.

Great review Juancho and it was a pleasure having your company even if it was just for a few minutes ;D
Inggit ako sa iyo - it seems you had more time with the SCS-01s than I did ::)
Its really a shame why Mike isnt actively marketing these speakers here in pdvd as I believe people should really hear and audition these great speakers.
As for the price, thats a no brainer! ;)

I'm looking for front and center speakers. Is the SCS-01 sensitivity the same as the specs for SCS-02, only 84.5 db?
Hopefully, this chart would help:

However, I think that SVS Speaker sensitivities are benign ;)

Yes, sir mac. These speakers certainly have value for money and perform admirably.
Now if Mike fixes his living room. I think it will help the speakers reveal their greatness. :)

Post by: mike c on Dec 05, 2010 at 01:11 PM
sir conan, the S series speakers have low sensitivity because they are sealed. svs opted to concentrate on the upper frequencies (assuming the use of a sub) rather than try to do everything and then be ordinary at everything.
but here's a reference sir:
84.5 db/ 1 w / 1 meter distance
that's anechoic (not inside a room, so add a few db's in room)
87.5db / 2 watts / 1 meter
90.5db / 4 watts / 1 meter
93.5db / 8 watts / 1 meter
93.5db / 16 watts / 2 meters
93.5db / 32 watts / 4 meters
96.5db / 64 watts / 4 meters
you only need 64 watts at 4 meters for ear destroying levels :)
Quote
For 95 decibels, the limit is four hours per day. For 102 decibels it's an hour and a half.
But you don't have to spend your life in a hushed library trying to protect your ears. You just need to be careful with the little hair cells inside your inner ear.
Friedland explained how they can be damaged:
Your inner ear has little cells called hair cells. When sound enters the inner ear, a fluid wave is produced that stimulates the hair cells. The hair cells pick up the sound and transmit it to the hearing nerve. If the sound is too loud, the fluid wave becomes very strong and can damage or break the little hair cells.
http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/pi/49776512.html
Quote
No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure to 100 decibels is recommended. Long-term exposure to 80-85 decibels or over can cause hearing loss.

peaks in SPL is ok, but it's the continuous use that hurts our ears
Post by: macdon on Dec 05, 2010 at 01:13 PM
Thank you, by "benign" do you mean understated?
No sir, it means "it doesnt matter" ;)
Whatever sensitivity ratings SVS places on them - I believe they could easily be driven by any modest avr in the market today :)

Post by: stickfighter on Dec 05, 2010 at 03:26 PM
I was also able to listen to these very nice and sleek set of speakers when I visited sir Mike yesterday. ;D He popped in his demo dvd material and fired on. I tried my best to concentrate on the sound of the speakers, but sad to say, at the back of my head...I was pretty excited to get my sub and go home. :P
However, for the moments I did listen, I agree with kagawad Macdon that the speakers lack the "uhmp" factor...but then again, SVS as a company probably decided that all the "uhmp" be taken cared for by the sub! ;D
As I got home, I also got the SVS SBS-01 bookshelf that I bought from brader Tirso. :) It's the same difference! :P Neutral sound - less uhmp, but when paired with the SVS sub...WOW! :o What a combination! ;D
I will have to schedule a trip back to Gracevillage for a chance to truly focus on these speakers. ;D So kagawad Macdon and brader Jake, let me know when you plan to go, so we could all probably hook-up and audition at the same time. ;D
Thank you Mike for accomodating me so early in the morning. ;D Looking forward to going back, even if you tried countless times to make me kulam! :D
More power to you and SVS! ;D

Also, had the chance to listen to his SCS-01 bookshelves in stereo extensively.
I'll try to attempt my own review.
With my reference disc in hand, I got to put the bookshelves to the test.
I requested Mike to turn off the sub so that I can focus on the bookshelves alone.
I first tested the speaker with
Voices.
Alison Krauss "wouldn't have made a difference" from the best audiophile voices album.
Immaculately produced the song sounded great as expected.
Her voice lacked the air that I was looking for(but that's my preference na)
Doris Day "orange colored sky" I personally think she has one of the most challenging voices for speakers because it is quite high and kinda nasal. A lesser speaker would have made her voice painful to the ears.
I was surprised when the SVS speakers reproduced her voice pleasantly.
Nat King Cole's "The Very Thought of You" and George Micheal's "Kissing a Fool.
Their voices were full and warm and a joy to listen to.
Classical music
"Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and "Dance of the Reed Pipes" sounded good as well but lacked that something extra that elevates classical music to a whole different level.
R&B & Jazz
Craig David's "7 Days" & "rendezvous"
Both songs features acoustic guitars. It sounded crisp and real.
Dance & Pop
Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow"
Here I felt the bass was definitely lacking. ;D
Even mike felt the same way so we turned the sub on to enjoy the Boom Boom Boom's :D
Conclusion
Please be informed that I listened to his speakers without my preferred CD player & Amp so take my review with a grain of salt. Also the listening area isn't the most ideal for stereo listening with concrete walls and big windows surrounding the room.
I find these speakers perform best with voices and acoustic music involving guitars & pianos.
If you're the type who loves listening to Hip-Hop and Pop music make sure to purchase one of mike's subs along with the speakers.
Update: I totally forgot to type my review with movies.
After listening to my reference CD. Mike fired up his DTS demo disc.
Boy oh boy!! The bookshelves performed. The Haunting and Saving Private Ryan sounded crisp and involving despite it being in stereo only.
I remember the sound being just right and well suited for movies.
Not bright and not warm. Very neutral nga. A pleasure for movies.
For it's price the speakers are a very good value. :)
Suits movies very well.
Mike, I hope to audition your dipole's next time.
updated my review of the bookshelves with movies :)

Kahit ata si Mike walang buong svs speaker system na naka kabit. Which is probably why he is selling his Infinity B, para mapalitan na ng svs speakers ;)

You already got the SVS sub as well as the SVS SBS-01 BS.........center & surrounds nalang, kumpleto na ;D
Gusto mo pampagana? Basahin mo yung AVS Forum SVS Owners Thread na link that I posted above - 3/4 of the 43-page long thread are SBS-01 users ;D
Unang lumabas kasi ata SBS-01 sa market, even before the SCS-01s.........kaya madami reviews ng SBS-01 mo ;)

Yes, I agree with macdon. Hopefully Martin will be the first member in PDVD (probably in the whole Philippines too) to achieve the highest STATUS i.e. the ULTIMATE COMPLETE SVS speakers (a.k.a. SVS HT). :D

Folks have been buying complete SVS setups from Mike before - whether they're from pdvd, lurkers or not, only mike can confirm.
The curious thing about it is why these folks buy completed sets - not just by pairs ::)
According to mike, they dont even audition the speakers - they just troop to Graceland to pick up their sets! :o

It's great to hear that. These folks have complete confidence in SVS, hence testing is no longer necessary. :)

.............or like mike suggested, place a sealed sub under each L&R and place your ported sub in the middle for a total of 3 subs! :D ;D
If we hang those SCS-01s, do you guys have any solutions to hide the speaker wire?

Not a bad idea kagawad Mac! :) I will take that into consideration. Three subs, plus the SVS speakers to complete the set. :) That maybe feasible as long as the remaining units I need will be priced at tupayb each! :D :D :D
:o :o :o ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! :o :o :o Two more subs plus the fronts and center speakers??? :D :D :D It took me one whole year to get the PB12! :P Can you imagine how long it will take to get everything else...? ;D

Post by: macdon on Dec 09, 2010 at 10:50 AM
The SSS-01 surround speaker is not a dipole as stated and posted earlier. It is actually a bipole.
Pati si mike nahilo na dito :D
Advantages of Bipole Speakers
*The bipolar speakers are wired in phase and push out more air, resulting in a bit more bass.
*Bipolar speakers can be used as the main speakers.
*This design allows a bipolar speaker to provide the best of both worlds: a direct-speaker’s clarity and focus, and a dipole’s spaciousness.
*Bipolar speakers work in roughly the same way as direct-radiating speakers. They feature two sets of drivers pointed in different directions and wired in-phase, both pushing and pulling air at the same time. That gets sound moving toward the walls, ceiling, furniture, etc., introducing more sonic energy in more directions than you would with a direct-radiating speaker. In other words, you will got more sound coming at you from more directions. However, most of the sound is coming from the speakers themselves.
*Bipolar surround speakers use speaker drivers aimed towards the front and back of the room to achieve a diffuse sound-field like that created by the multiple surround speakers in movie theaters.
Your room’s acoustics will affect these designs more than conventional direct-radiating speakers.

Sa SVS speakers, naka sabit na yung 2 x SCS-01 sa pader ni Mike at dadagdagan daw nya ng SC-01 center para buo na ang LCR. (gusto ko din sana masubukan ang SSS-01 bipole surround kung pwede ;D )
Sa mga gusto mag audition ng sub - meron na ata akong nakita dun na PC at PB10 & 12 - so isasabay nalang cguro yun para match set ;D

IMO go for the sub first if your AVR already has the Audyssey MultiEQ. ;)

Sir Paul, 608 ang gamit ko eh, 2EQ lang sya...
Actually I'm leaning towards getting the sub nga dahil may sub calibration naman ang AVIA II, explore ko muna...
salamat po sa suggestion.

In fairness, you're already improving your bass response if you will be using 2 subs, so with your audyssey & AVIA disc - try it first before exploring the EQ.
Down the road, if you still need/urge to possibly improve your bass - then you can explore the EQ.

wala pong "bago" na model. sinong nelson sir?
the PB10NSD/PB12NSD with sledge amp will ONLY be sold in the US (inuubos lang ang enclosures)
kapag naubos na: PB10NSD will be phased out. PB12NSD will be given a new smaller enclosure to split the void of the phased out PB10NSD. BUT, wala pang smaller PB12NSD anywhere in the world. prototype pa lang, not even in production yet.
smaller enclosure means EITHER higher tuning OR lower low bass SPL. so the current PB12NSD should be at least equal to or better than the "new smaller PB12NSD"

Today, i trooped down to Graceland without anything to get but expectations are high considering I will get to meet some of our pdvd buddies and hear for the first time the now becoming much talked about SVS speakers. In attendance were
iiinas, stickfighter, ninjababes, jao143, obsi and macdon,gaol and off course mike c.
so off we go and fired away with some music coming form mike c's PS3, set up was then just the left and right SCS-01, having the chance to also hook up wiht some audiophile friends, i easily have some benchmark on how music is being listened too by this people. After several music played, I can only say this speaker will not dissapoint with or without the subwoofer integrated to the system. Im not well versed into some technical jargons so I wouldnt dare thread discussing thigns into this realm. When we played the Audiophile voices, I was perpflexed to hear how clear the vocals where. The voices im hearing is very clear, sweet and pleasing, the way I have heard it from some very expensive speakers. The sound does not have any sense of character except its very natural just the way vocals and instrument would have sounded when you hear them played in front of you.
When mike shifted to fast paced music with touches of bass, the SCS-01 showed its seamless integration with the PB10 NSD, PB12NSD and PC12Plus, the subwoofer just disappeared and the sound seems to coming out of just the left and right front speaker. The timbre of each sound you hear would bring smile to your face as it reaches your ear
The acid test, movie, with just the SCS -01 L and R and center hooked up. By far, this is one of the best combination I have ever heard in my so many years of having been into this hobby whe we talk of speakers to subwoofer integration. Watching Terminator Salvation has never been this good. The panning effect from left to center to right is so lifelike kagawad mac requested the scene to be repeated to savor the same beautiful sound we hard the frist time. These speakers does seem to know the meaning of stress and tension as even when we cranked the volume to around -5 db, just few nothces away from reference, you wouldnt hear any distortion, clarity and details where never compromised even at high listening levels.
I can firmnly say these SVS speakers will give the more expensive brands and models a run for their money. Not only do they sound so excellently, they look so beautiful as well. Minimalist design but much sophistication would make them stand out not only in the sound aspect but in the aesthetics values as well. Having them hanged on the walls would definitely be a good conversation piece when visitors are in the house.
Now if you are wondering if I will trade my exisitng speakers with these babies, in the proper time I will ;) ;) ;)
Thank you so much mike c for finally making these speakers get the attention they truly deserve, thank you for hosting us and thank you pdvd buddies. ;) ;) ;) ;)

As brader Tirso mentioned above - the SVS speakers are so clear and crisp! Ang lutong - grabe! :o Free from any coloration or character - perfectly natural/neutral. It reminds me of those multiplex mini-theaters in the states! Truly a perfect sonic match to the awesome SVS subs!
A special shout out goes to the man of the hour, Ninjababez!!! :D :D So many quotable quotes.........kaso lahat sablay! :D :D :D
But it seems he redeemed himself by having a one-on-one conversation with Kapitana Graceland.........so congrats in advance Ninjababez!!!!! ;D

kapitan explaining some points during the speakers audition.
sorry as i did not get to take pictures in kapitan's ht room, was too busy enjoying the three ultras sing! :o :o :o
as the others have been saying a very neutral speaker set for the s series speakers of svs, no coloration at all, vocals during the lampano cd listening was crisp and clear. instruments played with clarity. obviously the speakers does not have great bass but as kapitan said, thats what the svs subs are for. ;)
sayang i was out already when they auditioned the center channel as well, but i have no doubt it should perform as expected. ;D
Post by: macdon on Dec 11, 2010 at 10:04 PM
Brader Tirso's motto really hits the nail on the head! ;) I would love my HT to sound like that! 8)
Post by: stickfighter on Dec 11, 2010 at 10:15 PM
Like Tirso, I normally spend my Saturday mornings coming home from work and just chilling watching movies at home until I fall asleep, after a stressful nights work. But to this morning was different. I was going to spend it with friends...friends that are worth my relaxation time. ;D
At around 9:00am, we all found ourselves in a place called GRACELAND. This place houses one of the best sounding subwoofers in the world...and now, one of the best sounding speakers my ears have ever heard - SVS ;D
Yes folks...today was the morning that we decided to put the test on the spearker line of SVS. :)
Audio
We began with mp3 music played via PS3 and then CD's via DVD player. The set-up was the 2 front speakers, Denon receiver and the PB12NSD. As Tirso and Mardon mentioned, they were very neutral and natural sounding. Set at stereo mode, it sounded like there was a center speaker that was dedicated to the vocals of the music. At no point did the sub overpower the speakers. They were perfectly matched.
In the earlier posts of this thread...I did mention that the SVS speakers have very little or no "uhmp" at all without the subwoofer. I am no audiophile, but even with just the left and right speakers producing the sound with no sub, the pair pretty much sang well. If you ask me...personally, they sound better with the sub. But that's just me. ;D
Home Theater
This is the main reason why I found myself at GRACELAND. From the first time I saw the speakers, I was already curious how these babies would perform when watching movies. So we requested our kind host if we could include and set-up the center speaker, and Mike gladly gave in to our request.
The material use was and Bluray disc of Terminator Salvation - the "gas station" scene. The nice thing about this is that I have not seen this movie, which made my audition better as the material was not "known" to me.
What can I say....? I was speechless. I could not believe what I heard and most of all, I could not believe that these speakers could produced such sounds. Again, they were very neutral in sound and the blend of the fronts and the center were perfectly harmonized. As Tirso mentioned, the panning scene of the movie which went from left...center...to right, just made us hear how well blended these speakers are. At no given point, was there an instance were the sub overpowered the speakers or vise versa. And may I also add, that the set-up this morning was NOT calibrated at all - and inspite of that, was able to provide us with a very overwhelming home theater experience. Truly a set worthy of an upgrade.
SVS speaker auditon was a time well spent, not only because they met my expectations, but it was also a time very well spent with very good and respectable members of our community. A lot of laughter and kulam! :D
To the new members I had the opportunity to have met today, to those whom are already friends and to our very generous host sir Mike...I am thankful for being able to be part of this mornings activity. :)
Now...who is interested on a set of Infinity Primus? :P

hindi ako nambobola. narinig ko mismo yung speakers. maganda sya tulad ng sabi ng iba nag attend sa eb, kung sabi nga ni kagawad mac, bakit ka se-settle sa maliit kung yung scs-01 ay abot kaya din naman. ???

kamusta audyssey mo bro? :)
quick questio: normal lang ba at 8oclock sa gain yung 0db sa receiver, after audyssey? ibig sabihin ba maliit yung room ko? :D

brader hope this help, Audyssey calibrates base on room modes, room acoustic properties and the whole environment. Results may differ from one setting to another. Based on Audyssey site, firts that we adjust is the subwoofer gain so we can get a level calibration on the receiver between -3db and+3db. Any gain setting in the subwoofer itself that results in this parameter, is the ideal setting based on Audyssey. Please note though that the resulting parameters has a basis, which they call REFERENCE. This basis is a result of experimentations done by THX laboratories and Audyssey. at least based on how I udnerstood the write up about it. For you to enjoy(again based on REFERENCE) the benifits of the resulting data after calibration, your listening level should be pegged at 0db or 82 db for those using absolute value( hope i dont get it mixed up). AT this listening level, you will reap the benifits of the results of your calibration. More often that not, we are not satisfied with the result after calibration becasue we have preferred setting conceived already prior to calibration or preferred setting becasue you have gotten used to it. These scenario would now make you decide to alter the results after calibration according to what suits you. When you do this, Audyssey will now be set at PREFERENCE and this is not how Audyssey was intended to be.
Your subwoofer set to 8 o' clock resulting to 0dbd after calibration means that at REFERENCE listening level, you would achieve the sound calibration the way Audyssey measured it and not the way you PREFERRED it. There are people who likes REFERENCE setting and thus, makes little if not none at all adjustments in the resulting parameters after Audyssey calibration.
In my case, I have always done Audyssey to ensure that I have the correct speaker distance because this is very important in ensuring that sounds coming from the sepeakers arrives at your ear at listening postion accurately and in syncrhronicity with one another. If this is done improperly, sound arrival maybe delayed in relation to one another thus, SQ is muddied. Having said so, this is the only result that I maintain after calibration.
I have also learned from other pdvd members and readings that if the resulting cross overs are 60 hz and above, it is recommended not to change it. I have always gotten lower than 60 hz so I change it to 80 as THX recommended setting. The LPF of the LFE is recommended at 120 hz, which I always get so no problem.
In the level calibration, i usally get - dbs, which I find to low at my listening level of 65 db thus I change it to 3 db higher for all channells except the subwoofer. Doing this would essentially be similar to increasing the listening level by a few dbs.
Another aspect I have learned from pdvd mebers too is running your subwoofer 6 db hotter for better integration wiht the rest of the speaker channels. This simply means that whatever level calibration I get after doing Audyssey for the subwoofer, I increase it by 6dbd. Considering I have already increased all chnnels by three, I am essentially running my system at 3db hotter.
Room size is just one factor that drives the result after Audyssey. Having the same room size as the other does not mean you will have the same or essentially the same result as like I said above, room modes, acoustic properties and the whole listening environment affects this.

The most recent Audessey calibration made was last Dec. 15th. Since I got the SBS-01's last Dec. 4th, I made them my main front speakers. My center and surrounds remained to be the Infinity's. I could not believe my ears when I heard the sound coming from the SBS. They were way better than my floorstanding Infinity's. :o
This is what made me decide to bite the bullet and got myself the SCS center and mains. ;) I just had to have them...and have them FAST! ;D
My plan is to wallmount these babies, however, I have not found the right bracket at this time. :-[ So what I did was, I placed them on the floor, on top of my Auralex Mopads. 8) They look awkward being on the floor the way they are, but it will do for now. :) Out of the box...plugged and fired on!
First up...Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall. My jaw dropped and was speechless with what I heard. I never had anything that sounded this good until now. It sounded like Dave and Tim were just playing live in front of me "in the same room." The sound of the acoustic guitars were very detailed. You can hear every squick, every strum of the guitar in detail like nothing I have heard before. I used to play this same material using the Infinity floorstanders, and it did not sound anything like it sounded with the SCS speakers. And to top it all, the calibration used was that of the SBS and Infinity's. I am wondering what the entire set would sound like after I calibrate them once they are properly set-up. ::)
Unfortunately, this was the only file I tested today. The experience left me in awe that I decided to watch every bit of the material due to it's overwhelming sound quality. :)
I will provide more impressions as I go along...and hopefully, post pics as well soon! ;)
Guys, these speakers are fantastic! I highly recommend that you give yourselves the chance to audition them. If you are looking for great sounding speakers, you don't need to go looking around for one anymore. There is a place called GRACELAND...and I asure you, you will not leave empty handed. ;D

sir stick same pala tayo ng reference material nung una kung kinabit ang scs-01 x3 +sss-01. ang saya saya ko na hindi ako makapaniwala na galing sa mga maliit na spkrs ang tunog. very detailed and non fatiguing. hindi talaga ako nagkamali sa pagpili even without auditioning and a clue how they sound. i just relied on the reviews of our fellow pdvd peeps which are spot on.

Very nice impressions brader Mart! I bet if you had the speakers positioned properly a bit higher you'd enjoy it even more ;)
The SVS S-Series speakers is absolutely bang for the buck at about 50k investment for a complete 5-piece set! For that amount, you simply get a good pair of floorstanders from other brands. The SVS sounds so incredibly good, that you kick yourself in the behind for not finding out about it sooner.
What they have done with their subwoofers, is what they did with their speakers - truly breathtaking! ;)
And for anyone who have doubts, feel free to google the SVS S-series speakers and find out just what users around the world have replaced their current speaker brands with SVS. While your googling, you'll also find that there isnt a single negative feedback on these speakers!

Thanks Mardon! :) I agree with you. I am sure that once I position my speakers properly, these babies are going to sound even better. I am now shopping for wall mount brackets, so I can finally set them up properly and run the final calibration. It may take time, but I am sure that the end result is worth the wait. ;)
By tomorrow I will be putting the speakers to the test with different movie files. :) I will post my impressions as well. :)
A lot of members upgraded or bought SVS speakers and subs this past few weeks...days...etc...and we congratulated and acknowledged one another. :) However, we have not congratulated one person deserving of such compliment - sir Mike. :)
Congratulations sir Mike for the numerous sales you have made and for bringing SVS over to our shores. :) More power to you and MKC International!!! ;D You have truly made alot of members happy this year. :) Cheers! ;)

A lot of members upgraded or bought SVS speakers and subs this past few weeks...days...etc...and we congratulated and acknowledged on another. :) However, we have not congratulated one person deserving of such compliment - sir Mike. :)
Congratulations sir Mike for the numerous sales you have made and for bringing SVS over to our shores. :) More power to you and MKC International!!! ;D You have truly made alot of members happy this year. :) Cheers! ;)
brader i forgot to mention may quick fix suggestion ako sa problema mo ngayon. di ba naka lapag lang sa sahig yung speaks para di ka mahirapan bumili ka muna ng banig tapos dumapa ka or humiga habang nanood or nakinig ayan tamang tama nasa ear level mo na ang speaks hahahahahahahahaha
and oh yes BRAVO MR MIKE C clap clap clap

Thanks Mardon! :) I agree with you. I am sure that once I position my speakers properly, these babies are going to sound even better.

SVS M-series Speakers
For the past few months, I've been thinking of possibly upgrading my speakers - not that there's anything wrong with my B&Ws, but maybe just to try a different flavor.
I went the usual fare of auditioning as well as researching possible replacements from other brands - which even included the upper level of B&W.
Before, when I do HT speaker shopping - I usually just audition the left & right speaker and just accept whatever center & surrounds that came in the series.
However, this time around I thought of concentrating more on the center speaker as I feel that it is the vital channel of any good home theater.
One of my recent & unexpected auditions, is the SVS S-series speakers wherein the front LCR were all identical and it was even reasonably priced. The best part of these speakers are its crisp, clear and uncolored presentation - perfectly neutral!
My Rotel + B&W setup is a dynamic one if not a tad warm, so I felt prepared for the change. However, when an opportunity suddenly arose in upgrading my Rotel RB-985 amp to a more modern RMB-1075 amp, I was very surprised to find out how my old 985 were warm sounding.
With the 1075, the B&Ws opened up beautifully........and I could live with that, but still the thought of those uncolored SVS speakers lingered inside my head.
I still went ahead with the change and offered my B&Ws up for sale - but when I was coming home with the SVS S-series speakers in my trunk, I felt a little bit of buyer's remorse and thought that the B&Ws were still very good most specially with the new amp.
While I thought of withdrawing my B&Ws from the marketplace, I suddenly received a call from a prospective buyer - who is even ready to pay cash on the spot.
I auditioned the B&Ws to my buyer who even brought his family along with him to hear what he was about to purchase. While this was going on, I just sat in one corner admiring how my old B&Ws were singing differently. I could only hope and pray that maybe they wouldnt like it and leave.
Alas, they loved it.........they loved it so much that they even bought my SVS pb12 sub and was even asking if I would sell them my Rotel pre/pro. Well, I had to draw the line with the speakers & sub - but when it comes to my Rotel pre/pro - hands off please.
The next few days were the hardest - I wanted to open up the new SVS S-series, but just couldnt. I repeatedly asked myself if this would really be better than my old speakers but had to shake it off since they were basically not mine anymore. My wife really loves the B&Ws and when she glanced at the new smallish box replacements, she gave me a weird look that kinda says "are you kidding me?!"
I knew that the SVS S-series speakers had more drivers compared to my B&Ws, they were clear enough in both vocals as well as music and they have that crisp detail that you rarely hear from speakers around its price - it totally outclassed and outperformed some mainstream speaker brands in the market that are close to its price - some are even more expensive. So, what should I be worrying about?
Being positive with my choice of speaker brand, I suddenly decided to even hike up all my considerations and made a blind leap of faith in getting the SVS M-series instead. I never really invest in something that I've never auditioned before - most specially with speakers, but I thought that if the S-series is this good, then having the M-series should be a lot better. But the big question still remains - would it be better than my B&Ws?
I re-scheduled a trip to return the S-series, took home the M-series and for good measure took home a SVS PB13 Ultra to eliminate looking up and asking "what if".
Unboxing the M-series was an ordeal - they were huge and very heavy. The box of the center speaker MCS-01 alone is almost as big as an out-of-the-box pb10 subwoofer! Each speaker was packed inside a draw-string cloth bag and nestled inside its double-box with high intensity foam. Removing the cloth bags reveals the excellent fit and finish of the M-series, the magnetic grille is a novel idea, the 0 or -3db tweeter attenuation switch is a nice consideration and the foam plugs for port tuning are all great features that you dont find to often in other speaker brands.
Each speaker comes with its own single page documentation or 'birth certificate' showing its specs and its frequency response chart which was hand signed by the company's QA / QC inspector.
We all have our own media preference when auditioning or trying out new speakers, and since I also got a new pb13 Ultra subwoofer in the mix - might as well give both the speakers and sub a workout. Jude Law's Enemy At The Gates was my chosen media to see how well the dialogue is amidst the rumble and chaos in the background.
As I've anticipated, the dialogue was very clear and coherent. The absence of any speaker coloration was both a welcome surprise that provided an exciting auditory experience. Even whispers and voices from a distance seems to emanate right from your theater room - amazing!
Accompanied with the micro-dynamic details of the left & right speaker, it defined a more finer detail that is crisp and an uncanny realistic experience.
SVS labels the M-series as "audiophile grade" speakers, so I quickly ended the first 20 minutes of Enemy At The Gates and chose the Legends Of Jazz. With music, the M-series is at its best - every instrument is clearly identified in its own space which you can actually pinpoint their position in the wide soundstage. The M-series were very holographic in nature that seems to float around you - making you feel not as a spectator but more of the performer! I allowed myself to be immersed in its sound and it was breathtaking!
Switching to Celine Dion's A New Day concert was a mixture of emotions - the sound seems to draw you in what the artist wants to convey - may it be a ballad or a fast moving song, it hits you emotionally. I did find myself with goosebumps in some of her songs.
Even when the concert ended, I didnt switch to a new media - I stuck around and listened while the credits was rolling. For some reason, you want to hear every possible sound from the speakers in hopes of hearing something that you havent heard before.
I was so giddy at this point that I had to try the Blue Man Group's How To Be A Rockstar concert - what a mind blowing experience! The sound dynamics were at par with the tremendous light show on the stage and every percussion instrument was defined clearly. I was thrilled when I heard slight sounds of castanets and tambourines playing in my surround bipolar speakers that I've never heard before with my B&Ws. It certainly was an amazing experience!
I was moved by these speakers and that afternoon session was the best I have experienced my home theater - ever! I would've imagined of possibly finding this kind of speaker from other speaker brands........and certainly never expected it from a company that started with subwoofers. If the legendary subwoofer company continues its path in making speakers this great, I have no doubt they will completely corner the market. The M-series speakers truly hold its rank alongside their legendary subwoofers. My heartfelt congrats to SVS!
Lastly, I wanna thank our Philippine distributor MikeC for all the countless YMs, PMs, emails and phone calls to help me with the transition. I believed he treated me more as a friend than a customer. Kudos to MKC International for bringing in these gems to our side of the world! ;)

Was finally able to run the Audessey calibration today with no ambient noise. ;D
Audessey Results January 2, 2011
Room Dimension: 15.5 ft L x 10.9 ft W
Speaker Set-up
01 Front : Small (FL +1.5 dB); (FR +3.0 dB)
02 Center : Small (+0.5 dB)
03 Surround : Small (SL +2.5 dB); (SR +1.5 dB)
04 Subwoofer : Yes (+1.5 dB)
05 SW Mode : Norm
06 FL : 3.0m
07 FR : 3.1m
08 C : 2.6m
09 SL : 1.8m
10 SR : 1.9m
11 SW : 2.5m
12 Cr. Over: Adv
13 Cr. F : 80Hz
14 Cr. C : 100Hz
15 Cr. S : 40Hz
16 Cr. LFE : 120Hz
MULTEQ:
MultEQ: Audessey
MultEQ: Byp L/R
MultEQ: Flat
MultEQ: OFF
SVS Subwoofer settings before and during the calibration as follows:
Gain: 10.5 o"clock
Phase: 0
Crossover: 120Hz
Cossover switch: Disabled
Sub cable changed to a 1:1 connector.
Calibration locations: 6
4---5---6
----1----
3-------2
Results are better this time around. Had to increase the gainof the subwoofer from 9 o'clock to 10.5 o'clock to compensate for the increase of the decible level of the sub on the last calibration, which was at +4.0.
The PB12 is not as boomy any more and gives just the right sound needed for each particlar scene. Moreover, it does not stop just being a sub, but often times blends with the center, main and surround speakers...the total sound produced envelopes me, making me feel like part of the scene.
It seems like the sub is some kind of "support" to the speakers. Just when I feel that the sound of a particular scene has been heard, the sub gives a final say.
I love action films because of the separation of sound coming from the different channels of the speakers. I played Live Free or Die Hard...
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjE5MDA4NTk5OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTgzOTQzMw@@._V1._CR342,0,1364,1364_SS99_.jpg)
...the scene when John goes to pick-up Matthew Farrell and everything goes chaos. The sound of the gunshots in this scene is jaw dropping. Very crisp and clear gunshots...every single shot fired, every bullets ricochet was clearly heard. Simply amazing.
Next in line...famous scene from the movie The Incredible Hulk...
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU1MDA3ODY1NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTI3MzA3MQ@@._V1._CR399,0,1250,1250_SS90_.jpg)
...I cannot even begin to mention how this scene sounded on my HT. I was overwhelmed with the experience. The gunfires bright sound was backed-up with the bass coming from the sub givng a neutral sounding experience.
The harmony of the S series speakers with the PB12NSD is truly a perfect match. My HT has never sounded this good from the time I began this hobby. I am truly happy with this investment. If you are looking for speakers, I highly recommend SVS speakers. They are simply awesome. ;D

one of the many advantages of the SVS BS, it allows you to have a very clean and neat set up, allows more space
I agree brader Tirso. :) That is also one of the factors that led me to upgrade. Having done my current set-up, it gave our room more space in front of the bed - enough space for...say, a love seat LaZboy perhaps... ::)
But seriously...this is my very first set-up mounted on a wall and it looks really neat and clean. The effort and hard work setting this up this morning was all worth it. :)

Splendid job, brader Mart! ;)
Are you planning on hiding/covering the L&R speaker wires or planning on going commando style? ;D
Also, if you can share with us your considerations for choosing the height of your wall-hanged SCS-01 speaker ;)

My current front speaker cables is a pair of Xindak SC-03 Cables. They are really thick and would be hard to hide/cover, so I guess I am commando on this one...besides, they are pretty nice speaker wires to look at. :P
As for the height of the SCS-01, I positioned the tweeter of the speaker at ear level. If I am sitting on the bed - which is most of the time my viewing position, my ear level height is 46 inches from the ground. So basically, the tweeter of the SCS is at 46 inches in height, while the center is at 42 inches, slightly tilted upward to achieve ear level position as well. :)
Post by: macdon on Dec 28, 2010 at 01:34 AM
The 3 x SCS-01s I returned to Mike are actually .02 versions already - sans the metal grilles. Both mike and I have confirmed this thru the help of SVS.
So if you want to the avail the .02 versions now and at lower prices, better act quickly ;) The upcoming .02 stocks by Feb next year would be more expensive.
If you want to have 100% .02 versions - just buy metal grilles from Mike in the future.

Actually, you can mask those wires a bit - place your pb12 under the left speaker and another pb12 under the right speaker - voila! ;D
Yup, great job on the speaker height - keep the tweets at ear level when seated ;)

Well, its just an option..........at least now you have the space for it because you wall hanged your speakers ;)
Btw, if you decide to add a love chair, would you need to lower the L&R speakers a bit? If seated in a recliner, my ears are 42" above the floor line.

With a recliner...yes! I would have to lower the measurement to 42 inches, as I would suspect that the ear level height from a recliner would be slightly lower.
The nice thing about this speaker bracket is you can adjust the knob behind to tilt the speakers downwards at a certain degree for it to be at 42 inches, without having to bore more holes on the wall to adjust the height. ;)

I am not sure if it is advisable to place bookself speakers on top of the subs, since they tend to vibrate alot. Maybe if you wall mount the bookshelf speakers slightly above the subwoofer, that may work. ;)
Again, this is NOT an inexpensive way to conceal speaker wires... :D ;D :D ;D

If im not mistaken each SCS is about 18 lbs, so observe your brackets. I'd feel a bit safer if the max load of the bracket is at least 30 lbs.

After brader Jammy mentioned about the screw not having a washer on the bracket, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I will still be here at the office for the next 3 hours before my shift ends and I am praying that they do hold up til I get home. :(
Im sure it'll hold naman - baka lang mag bend yung metal ng perfect view. You did use tux & concrete screws, right?
Nonetheless, 3 lbs of margin is really cutting it close, IMHO. Better get something stronger for your peace of mind brader ;) Sabi nga ni Mike sa akin about 30 lbs minimum eh.

Yes I did, but I did not use the tux I that came with the bracket. They were made of plastic. I bought the metal ones and used that instead. :) Point taken on the 30 lbs minimum weight. Thanks! :)

Well, with speakers that good - you really need to do the right thing brader........and frankly, there isnt anything better than a TIDE ;)
I may be enticed to write up a review on it ::)

Thanks! :)bro marts washer lang katapat nya bro. im sure it will hold, matibay yan. im thinking the plastic tox palang will hold around 30lbs. (prolly more) naman depende kung saan mounted (cement or wood). usually may allowance sa mentioned/labelled weight limit ;)

Post by: Weng! on Dec 28, 2010 at 10:24 AM
thanks sir, your setup is also very nice complete with corner traps and acoustic panel. that will be my next project after the holidays.
my initial impression about the s-series speakers right off the bat is it's better than my previous set ;D
@macdon,
i will be saving up for a TIDE to complete my setup and eliminate "what ifs". the L&R are roughly 8.5 ft apart. that distance were based on the speaker wall outlets so the wire will just drop directly below the L & R.
@jao143,
thanks sir.
@obsi,
thanks. you can visit me anytime. i still haven't got the time to swing to tac to visit you and emman. i want to experience the earth shaking bass of your multi-sub setup.
@ninjababes,
thanks, sinukat ko talaga kaya ang tagal ko natapos. the bottom part of the L & R is the same height sa bottom of center. kelangan precise ang pagbutas sa wall para align ang screws (top & bottom) with no slack when mounting them.
@onkyo606,
thanks, i'm looking forward to see your next upgrade, going M-series and Tide Ultra combo ;D

naku brader weng wishlist pa lang yan sana eh magkaron ng katotohanan, although im really considering the STS-02 but will waut firts till i move in to the new house. If the MAs would still be as good as how it is now or better in the new house, then the upgrade path would be on the subwoofer.
i really like the symmetry in your set up, im a bit OC kaya well appreciated ko pag yung set up balansyado tingnan ;) ;) ;)
good job on the minimalist concept ;) ;)

Thats about spot on to my measurements too if I elected to have the SCS. My horizontal rack is 8 ft, so 8.5-9 ft should clear the PJ screen as well. Wider soundstage too, I suppose.
Nicely done Weng! ;)

nicely done brader gnew, i also used to have a surround back but removed it after a while considering it only has minimal effects. in my case, the front wide have been the most benificial

Post by: Weng! on Dec 31, 2010 at 08:39 AM
Weng, I suggest you also try vertical mounting the center, tilted up slightly pointing to ear level. I get very good voices this way (non SVS speakers though). BTW, grab an Ultra na bago maubos, the feedback on the Sledge hasn't been very promising due to noise issues. I'm sure the Sledge will mature eventually, but it may take some time. Better you get a tried and tested Bash unit. Happy New Year!
i will try your suggestion alfie first with the use of my house help to hold the speakers at an angle. if the result is good, my next challenge is to install it using a properly designed diy bracket.
sana may matira pang bash-based tide ultra pa ra sa akin. di pa kasi tapos is santa namigay ng gifts sa amin ;D

thanks sir mac. i am enjoying the new surrounds now more than the back surrounds (on the rear corner) and surrounds (front side) of my previous setup. now i can hear more details from the back which gives you the feeling that the sound is enveloping the listening area. my wife even told me that she liked the new speakers because they produced more sound at the back but i explained to her why the back surround previously did a little only ;D

Yup that's why I stick to dipoles for my basic 5.1 surrounds. The null it creates is something else, like the whole back and side walls are evenly full of ambience and much less pinpointable than monopoles. Dipoles will probably have a similar effect too.
the orientation of the surrounds are, one side of the bipole is exactly pointing the sofa and the other side is facing the front wall, for the benefit of the single seater's surround effect.

i was actually hoping you had gotten the S series ;D (you know why)
(http://i68.servimg.com/u/f68/11/88/38/44/dsc_0133.jpg) (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=943&u=11883844)
SVS M-series Speakers
For the past few months, I've been thinking of possibly upgrading my speakers - not that there's anything wrong with my B&Ws, but maybe just to try a different flavor.
I went the usual fare of auditioning as well as researching possible replacements from other brands - which even included the upper level of B&W.
Before, when I do HT speaker shopping - I usually just audition the left & right speaker and just accept whatever center & surrounds that came in the series.
However, this time around I thought of concentrating more on the center speaker as I feel that it is the vital channel of any good home theater.
One of my recent & unexpected auditions, is the SVS S-series speakers wherein the front LCR were all identical and it was even reasonably priced. The best part of these speakers are its crisp, clear and uncolored presentation - perfectly neutral!
My Rotel + B&W setup is a dynamic one if not a tad warm, so I felt prepared for the change. However, when an opportunity suddenly arose in upgrading my Rotel RB-985 amp to a more modern RMB-1075 amp, I was very surprised to find out how my old 985 were warm sounding.
With the 1075, the B&Ws opened up beautifully........and I could live with that, but still the thought of those uncolored SVS speakers lingered inside my head.
I still went ahead with the change and offered my B&Ws up for sale - but when I was coming home with the SVS S-series speakers in my trunk, I felt a little bit of buyer's remorse and thought that the B&Ws were still very good most specially with the new amp.
While I thought of withdrawing my B&Ws from the marketplace, I suddenly received a call from a prospective buyer - who is even ready to pay cash on the spot.
I auditioned the B&Ws to my buyer who even brought his family along with him to hear what he was about to purchase. While this was going on, I just sat in one corner admiring how my old B&Ws were singing differently. I could only hope and pray that maybe they wouldnt like it and leave.
Alas, they loved it.........they loved it so much that they even bought my SVS pb12 sub and was even asking if I would sell them my Rotel pre/pro. Well, I had to draw the line with the speakers & sub - but when it comes to my Rotel pre/pro - hands off please.
The next few days were the hardest - I wanted to open up the new SVS S-series, but just couldnt. I repeatedly asked myself if this would really be better than my old speakers but had to shake it off since they were basically not mine anymore. My wife really loves the B&Ws and when she glanced at the new smallish box replacements, she gave me a weird look that kinda says "are you kidding me?!"
I knew that the SVS S-series speakers had more drivers compared to my B&Ws, they were clear enough in both vocals as well as music and they have that crisp detail that you rarely hear from speakers around its price - it totally outclassed and outperformed some mainstream speaker brands in the market that are close to its price - some are even more expensive. So, what should I be worrying about?
Being positive with my choice of speaker brand, I suddenly decided to even hike up all my considerations and made a blind leap of faith in getting the SVS M-series instead. I never really invest in something that I've never auditioned before - most specially with speakers, but I thought that if the S-series is this good, then having the M-series should be a lot better. But the big question still remains - would it be better than my B&Ws?
I re-scheduled a trip to return the S-series, took home the M-series and for good measure took home a SVS PB13 Ultra to eliminate looking up and asking "what if".
Unboxing the M-series was an ordeal - they were huge and very heavy. The box of the center speaker MCS-01 alone is almost as big as an out-of-the-box pb10 subwoofer! Each speaker was packed inside a draw-string cloth bag and nestled inside its double-box with high intensity foam. Removing the cloth bags reveals the excellent fit and finish of the M-series, the magnetic grille is a novel idea, the 0 or -3db tweeter attenuation switch is a nice consideration and the foam plugs for port tuning are all great features that you dont find to often in other speaker brands.
Each speaker comes with its own single page documentation or 'birth certificate' showing its specs and its frequency response chart which was hand signed by the company's QA / QC inspector.
We all have our own media preference when auditioning or trying out new speakers, and since I also got a new pb13 Ultra subwoofer in the mix - might as well give both the speakers and sub a workout. Jude Law's Enemy At The Gates was my chosen media to see how well the dialogue is amidst the rumble and chaos in the background.
As I've anticipated, the dialogue was very clear and coherent. The absence of any speaker coloration was both a welcome surprise that provided an exciting auditory experience. Even whispers and voices from a distance seems to emanate right from your theater room - amazing!
Accompanied with the micro-dynamic details of the left & right speaker, it defined a more finer detail that is crisp and an uncanny realistic experience.
SVS labels the M-series as "audiophile grade" speakers, so I quickly ended the first 20 minutes of Enemy At The Gates and chose the Legends Of Jazz. With music, the M-series is at its best - every instrument is clearly identified in its own space which you can actually pinpoint their position in the wide soundstage. The M-series were very holographic in nature that seems to float around you - making you feel not as a spectator but more of the performer! I allowed myself to be immersed in its sound and it was breathtaking!
Switching to Celine Dion's A New Day concert was a mixture of emotions - the sound seems to draw you in what the artist wants to convey - may it be a ballad or a fast moving song, it hits you emotionally. I did find myself with goosebumps in some of her songs.
Even when the concert ended, I didnt switch to a new media - I stuck around and listened while the credits was rolling. For some reason, you want to hear every possible sound from the speakers in hopes of hearing something that you havent heard before.
I was so giddy at this point that I had to try the Blue Man Group's How To Be A Rockstar concert - what a mind blowing experience! The sound dynamics were at par with the tremendous light show on the stage and every percussion instrument was defined clearly. I was thrilled when I heard slight sounds of castanets and tambourines playing in my surround bipolar speakers that I've never heard before with my B&Ws. It certainly was an amazing experience!
I was moved by these speakers and that afternoon session was the best I have experienced my home theater - ever! I would've imagined of possibly finding this kind of speaker from other speaker brands........and certainly never expected it from a company that started with subwoofers. If the legendary subwoofer company continues its path in making speakers this great, I have no doubt they will completely corner the market. The M-series speakers truly hold its rank alongside their legendary subwoofers. My heartfelt congrats to SVS!
Lastly, I wanna thank our Philippine distributor MikeC for all the countless YMs, PMs, emails and phone calls to help me with the transition. I believed he treated me more as a friend than a customer. Kudos to MKC International for bringing in these gems to our side of the world! ;)

Hi ninja, dipoles are out of phase, bipoles are in phase.
Just to add, bipoles usually work well on the rear walls, while dipoles on the side walls slightly back.thanks OBSI, what about in this case for example, there is no wall at the back of the speakers?

Results are better this time around. Had to increase the gainof the subwoofer from 9 o'clock to 10.5 o'clock to compensate for the increase of the decible level of the sub on the last calibration, which was at +4.0.
The PB12 is not as boomy any more and gives just the right sound needed for each particlar scene. Moreover, it does not stop just being a sub, but often times blends with the center, main and surround speakers...the total sound produced envelopes me, making me feel like part of the scene.
It seems like the sub is some kind of "support" to the speakers. Just when I feel that the sound of a particular scene has been heard, the sub gives a final say.
I love action films because of the separation of sound coming from the different channels of the speakers. I played Live Free or Die Hard...

...the scene when John goes to pick-up Matthew Farrell and everything goes chaos. The sound of the gunshots in this scene is jaw dropping. Very crisp and clear gunshots...every single shot fired, every bullets ricochet was clearly heard. Simply amazing.
Next in line...famous scene from the movie The Incredible Hulk...
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU1MDA3ODY1NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTI3MzA3MQ@@._V1._CR399,0,1250,1250_SS90_.jpg)
...I cannot even begin to mention how this scene sounded on my HT. I was overwhelmed with the experience. The gunfires bright sound was backed-up with the bass coming from the sub givng a neutral sounding experience.
Adding some more impressions of other "scenes" that I tested last night...
Two of my favorite gunfire scenes that I always use for testing speaker and sub blending are:
Inglorious Basterds - the powerful fire fight scene on the bar; and
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjE2NzIyMDQ1OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDE0OTY3Mg@@._V1._CR116,0,467,467_SS100_.jpg)
Open Range - the final shootout battle scene.
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNDM2Njc0NjM3NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNjU0MDM3._V1._CR90,0,304,304_SS100_.jpg)
Both these scenes will literally put you in the middle of the action. It feels like you are part of the battle. The sound generated by the speakers and the sub is so realistic - unbelievable!
I also love car race scenes...and when that comes to mind, what would be better than the Fast & the Furious choosen scenes...
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU3ODgxNzU4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNjEzODE3._V1._CR103,0,293,293_SS100_.jpg) (http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTcyNzUzNjYxMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNTI4NTE3._V1._CR80,0,324,324_SS100_.jpg) (http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjAyODkwNTIyOV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwMzI5NTU3._V1._CR58,0,369,369_SS100_.jpg) (http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNTY2NDk2ODk2N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTc4MDkzMg@@._V1._CR121,0,483,483_SS100_.jpg)
...at all four choosen action scenes from each film, the sound experience provided by the speakers and sub places you on the drivers seat. It feels like you are "inside" the car and in the race. The engine roar so realistic, you'd beg for it to be louder, so I cranked up the volume a few noches from 20 to 15 dB level, and to my suprise...the SVS speakers did not let me down.
And finally, who could not test scenes from the movie Terminator Salvation...? I have not seen this film - ever, until the day I went to audition the SVS speakers at Graceland. Brader Alfie, aka Obsi, recommended it and this was my deciding factor to definitely get the SVS speakers.
There are actually many scenes in this movie that I did not know which one to start with....
(http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI0MjE5NzY4MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDc2MjU1Mg@@._V1._CR131,0,338,338_SS100_.jpg) (http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU1OTEzOTI0OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTU2MjU1Mg@@._V1._CR100,0,399,399_SS100_.jpg) (http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTYyMTM1NjMyMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTU4NTkxNA@@._V1._CR483,0,1082,1082_SS100_.jpg)
...however, whichever scene I played, the speakers provided amazing surround sound experience. Every explosion every enveloping ambient sound that puts you in the plot of the movie is heard clearly ang accurately. Like mentioned on the audition of the SVS speakers...the panning scene of the jet powered aircraft from left to center to right can be heard at constant/equal level - simply astonishing.
To end the night, I decided to tame down a bit and eneded my testing with Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall.
(http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlecDW4I30qQmCIc87paM6SjKv-gL6UzbxABQCH1gtyVrIwyiK)
I have tested this material when my HT was NOT properly calibarated and it already sounded good. Now that the HT is calibrated, I had the same jaw dropping experience. I was again speechless with what I heard. I never had anything that sounded this good until now. It sounded like Dave and Tim were just playing live in front of me "in the same room." The sound of the acoustic guitars were very detailed. You can hear every squick, every strum of the guitar in detail like nothing I have heard before.
The harmony of the S series speakers with the PB12NSD is truly a perfect match IMHO. My HT has never sounded this good from the time I began this hobby. I am truly happy with this investment. If you are looking for speakers, I highly recommend SVS speakers. They are simply awesome. ;D

more for effects and immersion ang bipole. monopole scs would be perfect for multichannel music (note this is different with surround sound concerts)

direct radiating from my experience is beaten in the sound dispersion aspect by a dipole or bipole, mas nagiging expansive and dating ng surround effects, picking up from this experience, i would suppose bipole SSS would be better than direct radiating SB01.
this is the reason why i sold my RS1 and kept my 9DFS, even if its a mOntior Audio, i still favor the surround effect using the dipole DFS than the direct radiating RS1.

brader onkyo, to add up some thoughts of the SSS-01, it is miles ahead in clarity, sound and build quality of the 9fs. it's just having 2 SBS-01 radiating at different direction in one box.
p.s. my previous surround speakers are 9dfs, no offense meant to the users

im sure its miles apart when we speak of SQ brader weng, I actually had my favorite store reserved the last of its breed RSFX, i think they are still keeping it for me but have not jumped the gun yet despite the fact that i have heard how good it is.
i am putting on hold all purchases i intend to do until i get to transfer to the new house but the STS-02, SCS-02 and SSS-02, will surely give my MA s a run for their money.

With the help of SVS, both Mike & I confirmed the ff differences:
1. Box art - the box art graphics of the 02 has the blue logo and text of the new 02 features on the box
2. Tweeter is black on the 02 than the clear/grey tweeter of the 01.
3. Non-shiny dustcap of the midrange in the 02.
As for the STS and SSS speakers, there are no 01/02 of these speakers. They were released later by SVS on the onset with new drivers already. There are also no metal grilles on the STS and SSS speakers - whether new(02) or old (01), they only came with cloth grilles.
To be honest, sonically there's not much difference between the 01 and 02 ;)

.....for those who have the SVS SSS surround speakers, kindly provide impressions namanvs your old/replaced surround speakers naman. I am eyeing on this one a well sana in the not so near future. ::)
I replaced my B&W 601s3 speakers with the SVS SSS bipolar surrounds and they're amazing! In physics alone, I get a total of 4 midranges and 4 tweeters with the SSS pair than just 2 tweeters and 2 midranges with the B&Ws.
Its not that just because the SSS should have a louder output as it has more drivers.......its actually how the speaker enclosures are shaped to disperse in an immersive/enveloping way. Add to this the micro-dynamic details that the svs speakers are known for - and you get a totally amazing experience.
If you read the link of the AVS forum I posted awhile back, one user replaced his B&W DS6 surround speakers to SVS SSS surrounds and couldnt be happier ;) Do take note that the DS6 was selling for 45k before, while the SVS SSS pair only sells for half that.

Sir mar, do you have stocks of the s series in your place??? ;D
Sa totoo lang.........I didnt know that Mike would take me seriously when I told him that the s-series speakers I returned to him is still mine ;D
Anyway, I told him yesterday na pwede na nya ibenta sa iba ;D
I was thinking kasi of replacing my computer speakers with svs speakers, but will delay that upgrade muna.

Announcement:
The 3 x SCS-01s I returned to Mike are actually .02 versions already - sans the metal grilles. Both mike and I have confirmed this thru the help of SVS.
So if you want to the avail the .02 versions now and at lower prices, better act quickly ;) The upcoming .02 stocks by Feb next year would be more expensive.
If you want to have 100% .02 versions - just buy metal grilles from Mike in the future.
Sir mike, pa pm naman kung available pa ito at kung magkano.
Thanks

Sir mike, pa pm naman kung available pa ito at kung magkano.
Thanks
i've sold all but one set of these (though naka reserve til sunday, una siya sayo dadating, so you will know if kinuha niya or hindi)
most of them i sold without knowing na iba na pala yung drivers, that would also mean na svs was confident that the SQ would be similar.

Just measure your ear level to floor in a comfortable seating position and align the tweeters to that measurement. The SCS has a length of 20", so tweeter is in the middle or 10" from edge. Some sort of bracket should be used to extend the speaker from wall para sa speaker wires, etc.
Speaking of brackets, I had some custom made via our kind brader Gnew. I really enjoyed the performance of the SVS SSS surrounds that I felt uneasy with the lone screw that was holding the surrounds up in the wall - so I thought of strengthening them via this custom made mounts:

it was nice seeing you again sir mike at sir mar. Finally met sir von and other pdvd members. I really love listening to those svs speakers that is why i went home with a pair of fronts and a center. No availble stock of surrounds unfortunately. These speakers really appealed to my ta, imho, really neutral. Not bright and not warm, just right. We listened to a few tracks of salena jones, very nice vocals. Watched celine dione's concert, again these speakers did not disappoint us. We also watched terminator salvation, once again very superb performance for these speakers.

(...tsaka pag nagtagal pa ko dun baka magbago pa isip ko sa pagpasa kay sir jao nung set na I was checking out hahaha ;D )
Di bale now that I'm familiar with Mike's place... pwede na ko makisawsaw next time..
After listening the scs-01 set I could say that what the reviews the members have been posting here are true. These speakers are indeed neutral sounding and outperform their size. The tweeters handle the highs really well considering they are silk and the sound is quite balanced. They integrate well, of course, with the svs subs...
It's really worth a try if these are the characteristics you are looking for. Thanks for the hospitality, sir mike.

we have to learn na happy na tayo, kung hindi maging masyadong oc na tayo sa details and forget that the setups are for us to enjoy the movies as a whole.

Silip silip lang muna sa SVS. Pero mukhang dito lahat papunta so "I'ts...." na rin siguro ako. Para di mahawa sa sars. :D
kung planning mode ka palang, its really good that you audition these speakers + the subs na rin, atleast you have the benefit of not changing from one speaker or sub to another. just get the best your money can buy already para ika mo nga, wala ng sars...
and i think svs should be high on your list.

Naku sir Von, good luck on convincing your wifey :)...
ako nga may ulitmatum na sa wife ko eh, kapag pinalitan ko daw itong svs speaker in one year, hihiwalayan nya daw ako... Fortunately for me, talagang excellent speakers itong SVS. I'm sure it will serve me well for a year until the next SVS upgrade... :)
Brader dont forget may M series pa na SVS ;) ;) ;)

uy sariling kulam :) go go go brader jao after a week upgrade ka na agad sa series M or L tapos abang ako ng pinaglumaan mo. dami naka pila dun sa darating na shipment eh. need ko pa benta Missions ko :( but let us see baka naman magawaan na bili muna bago benta ;D
truly... :)
we have to learn na happy na tayo, kung hindi maging masyadong oc na tayo sa details and forget that the setups are for us to enjoy the movies as a whole.
or as they say, go for gold na agad para wala ng duda at alinlagan if what we have can still be improved. ;D
mahirap bumisita sa thread na ganito na masyadong active, napapabilis ang palit tuloy :) siguro parang kotse din yung setup natin that after awhile we tend to want a newer one :D

No idea on when the L-series would be released. Mahal na din yan cguro. :P

as i remember sir mike said. kaya s, m and l ang tawag sa series its because its small, medium and large. kaya i think for most of us, s and m would be the better choice.
m lang nga 85k na yung fs... :o :o :o the L would definitely be... :o :o :o

Totoo yan kagawad........however I've always recommended to would be buyers to atleast talk to Kapitana Mike first than be shocked by the srp sticker price.
When I learned about the price of the M-series floorstanders, sabi ko mag B&W CM7 nalang ako kasi mas mura plus, na-audition ko narin ang CM line - but when I got a real world quote from Mike, naging mas mura pa ang M-series and turned out to be better sounding pa than the CM7 ;) Panalo! ;D

kung planning mode ka palang, its really good that you audition these speakers + the subs na rin, atleast you have the benefit of not changing from one speaker or sub to another. just get the best your money can buy already para ika mo nga, wala ng sars...
and i think svs should be high on your list.
I was only able to audition Yammy + MA RX6 (ata) sa Audioworld. I still remember the imaging, as if the pair of speakers got merged into one. Sana ma-audition ko agad ang STS-02 para mag ka alamanan na. 8)

ika nga ni kagawad mac, you just need to talk to sir mike regarding price. anyay, i have not heard the m series, but judging from the s series, i would say the m would not disappoint either.

Almost same path tayo sir - I also considered Monitor Audio and got to audition the RX6 and RX2 - but surprisingly, I got attracted more with the RX2. Anyway, I believe I posted my impressions in the MA speaker thread.

3 x SCS-02 plus 2 x SB12 (L&R)
vs.
M-series MTS-01 and MCS-01
Halos same lang ang price, diba?
Post by: mike c on Jan 12, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Kapitana Mike - alin kaya sa dalawa ang mas ok kung LCR lang ang paguusapan:
3 x SCS-02 plus 2 x SB12 (L&R)
vs.
M-series MTS-01 and MCS-01
Halos same lang ang price, diba?
walang sub yung M?
if pure music ... mas maganda yung M set
if may halong HT, i'd go for the one with the dual subs
Post by: macdon on Jan 12, 2011 at 12:54 PM

May sub yung M set ...........and lets say may 1 sub din yung S set. Basta LCR lang ang pinaguusapan and both sets have a single HT sub na.

i see.
better SQ vs. better slam
depends sa person yan, if it were me, i'd choose the S with stereo subs.
i think persons who are critical of the SQ would choose M.
but since i'm ok with the S SQ, S with stereo subs hands down for me.

easiest way would be multiple amps, on and off na lang. but i'd like the receiver to power them sana, so people can see that ordinary receivers can run them.

Guys, s mg aaudition ng s-02 series p post nman ng review/comparison w/ other brand :)
bisita ka ulit sir :)
the biggest difference between the 01 and 02 is basically the metal grill. though the woofer/tweeter/crossover was changed, this was more of a manufacturer change rather than an "upgrade" so they would basically sound alike (which is why they sold both at the same time)
as to comparisons, let's leave the s series users to comment on what brands/models they replaced and why.

Try speaker selector boxes. I'm sure that will work.

I heard that too - but couldnt verify.
Dapat cguro naka speaker stands na yung SCS-01s mo para tanggal kabit nalang :D

But that's just a switcher. Nasa connections lang yun. I can't see how it can seriously degrade sound.

'off the shelf' switchers kasi have some sort of impedance limiting device in the chain.
dapat ata magpacustom ng switcher

Mukang pati yung SCS-01s mo sa demo living room nabile ah - congrats to Bry77 ;)
I suggest you still install the SCS-02s in your demo living room parin :)
This would also be a good time in planning your wall mount para you can easily change speaker wires to test SCS to STS ;)
Have Weng's cousin make you front metal mounts/brackets.

Kapitana - for HT, it would be nice if your customers can compare the SCS and STS together in one setup and in one audition timeframe. If its not too much, the experience would be more immersive if you can connect the 2 SSS surrounds as well - it completes the experience kasi eh.
SBS - could also be marketed either as a monopole surround, computer speakers or small secondary audio setups.

yes, baka mas malakas ka kay sir jojo :)
for the budget conscious, some use the SSS for surrounds and SBS for surround back. though there are a lot that use the SBS as their mains.

while thats true - nothing beats using the SCS for LCR purposes. You get dual woofers with the SCS compared to just 1 mid/woofer of the SBS.

Sir Mike kailan ang ETA ng OMNI mounts?
hi sir, 1-2 months out pa yun (kasabay ng M series)
re: using omni mounts on the center ... i got conflicting advice from SVS about that.
one told me i could use "two" omni mounts for the center
another one told me to just use tox and screw on the keyhole mounts
on the vertical speakers like the SCS-Mains and SBS, no problem daw yung one omni mount lang

paubaya mo sa akin yan Brader Mike, I've some pretty wicked plans in stored for your switcher like bi-lateral and impedance free switching. most important is your receiver and speakers won't even know there's a JD Labs switcher in the chain. ;)

Would it be possible also to use for the Surround speakers? I've read in SVS website and they're not recommending OMNI mounts for center speakers.
BTW thanks for the S-series I was happy to open two of the boxes (Center and surround) but due to time constraint I have to leave the STS box unopen.

yes, di puwede ONE omni mount for the center, but one of them agreed with my suggestion of using TWO omni mounts for the center. but then the owner of SVS said to just use the tox screw OR make a shelf and use the included tilting mount of the center speaker.
it would be best to either use tox and screw for the surrounds OR get custom mounts like what sir GneW makes (which he and sir macdon personally uses for their SSS surrounds)

Another great Saturday spent with Kapitana Mike and his gorgeous sounding SVS products! ;D
We spent many hours testing and evaluating the new SVS speakers and subs.......so here's, some highlights of the day:
SVS S-series 02:
SCS-02 - compared to the 01s, I did find a bit of high frequency extension on the 02s compared to the 01s.
Checking the specs revealed that the 02s have a higher 23khz Ferro-fluid cooled tweeter compared to the 20khz silk soft tweeter of the 01s. Obviously, a new xover for the 02s ;) Details float in 3D! Nice! ;)
Metal Grilles - the driving force behind the company's 02 launch. Sonics remain the same with or without the metal grilles - true performance grilles that would even stop accidental handling and rowdy kids playing around them.
It truly hightens the quality of the S-series to the next level! ;) Beautiful!
STS-02 (towers) - finally heard the S-series towers........and wow! :o Having the same SQ of the SCS but with more depth, more full body and louder/bigger soundstage due to a much higher sensitivity than the SCS. Definitely the king of the S-series speakers with its metal grille as its crown!
Both Mike and I really had fun with the STS that we didnt dare connect the speaker wires back to the wall hanged SCS ;D
In addition, the STS base stand with included spike/shoe hardware really rounds up the beauty of this sexy tower ;)
Both music and movies just sounds great with the STS that we just ended our evaluation with just playing around with it and didnt mind the absence of any SSS or SBS speakers to test. ;D Next trip to Graceland will definitely include the SSS-02 dipole as well as the SBS-02 bookshelves ;)
SB12nsd sealed subwoofer
The biggest highlight for me was even prior to testing the SVS 02 speakers - this was when we evaluated the new SB12 subwoofer ;D
I nicknamed the SB12 as the "happy" little subwoofer - 'coz it literally made me happy all over :D With music, the SB12 is hard to beat in its extension and output that I find it more superior to the pb10nsd in all aspects. Playing 80's music brought me back to my car audio days of having a sealed JL audio in my trunk - ohhh, memories! ;D
With movies, I was amazed in how that little 14" cubed box could rattle many fixtures in Mike's almost 40sqm living/demo room! :o
Mike do suggest that if you have a sealed/dedicated HT/audio setup of less than 20sqm - this would be the perfect sub for you! ;) The SB12nsd is indeed a fun subwoofer that I would highly recommend as an all around subwoofer!
It may not be as accurate as a pb12, but it has that "gapang" decay that a lot of you will enjoy ;D

also had those 3 x JL12W6's in my trunk during the 90's and have been looking for that distinct " gapang " not the kicker " bayo " bass for home audio ever since :D

Things are really getting better in Graceland - I particularly like mike's subwoofer switcher, which does it on the fly without pause. Mike also went ahead in having master jojod make a speaker switcher naman so it would be easier to compare different speaker models din ;)
I also believed he improved his "kulam" water 'coz it seems more potent now :D

SBS-02 Pair of Bookshelves
SCS-02M Pair of MTM Bookshelves
STS-02 Pair of Floorstanders
For the center, you can choose between:
SCS-02 Center
STS-02 Single (this is a single Floorstander from the pair of Floorstanders, but since the packaging is separate, i can make the exception of selling separately, but there will be no choosing of left or right, it will be random)
For the surrounds, you can choose between:
SSS-02 Pair of Bipole speakers
SCS-02M Pair of MTM speakers (perfect for multichannel music, this is distinct from concert surround sound)
SBS-02 Pair of Bookshelves
STS-02 Pair of Floorstanders
For the surround back, same options as the surrounds above:

Will there be any difference in the sound output if I turn the SSS upside down in order for the two lower screw holes to be on top? I will just turn the mesh cover upside down na rin para at least the SVS logo will be upright.
I am experimenting on how to cheaply and effectively mount the surround speakers eh..
Thanks.

Eto na sir ang surrent seating area. wala na ang mga ito, sofa na ang nakalagay na dito ha...
I plan to put the first SSS dun banda sa itaas nang kurtina, however the space is smaller compared to the width of the SSS:

Kaya medyo uusli sya sa wall into the window frame na but it's ok kse nakasara naman yung glass window.
Next, yung isa pang SSS ilalagay ko sa wall above the light switch. I will just make sure na same height yung left and right SSS.

or maybe sa rear wall is better than having the surround in front of you

in your situation, a customize bracket comes in handy. be careful pala when drilling hole above and below the light switch. check with your electrician kung saan galing ang wire. delikado ma kuryente ;D

oo nga, light switch usually means meron pataas na conduit papuntang ilaw (sometimes meron din pababa para kumuha ng electricity)
Post by: Onkyo606 on Jan 31, 2011 at 04:15 PM
Yes sir mike, basically ganyan pa rin sya ngaun. medyo naka abante talaga kse wala na akong pagsasabitang iba dahil hallway yung other side ng sofa ko eh, another option is yung speaker mount sa ceiling ilalagay pero nakaharang sa pinto at hallway yung speaker... :(

Either that or you would need tall floor stands for your surrounds :P Definitely, custom brackets would have to be fabricated in your case.

I've been eyeing for this speaker for my first HT Setup. Inaantay ko lang dumating yung Pioneer 1020-K AVR ko sa 3rd week of Feb. Question, Ok lang ba na Wharfedale 10dfs ang gamitin kong pang surround sa SCS-02 L/C/R? Medyo mahal kasi yung SSS-02. Kung yung bookshelf naman baka masyadong malaki kasi dikit sa pader yung sofa namin. Naka protrude masyado. thanks in advance.
puwede po yan sir.

im still using 9DFS as surround, you may live with it as bulk of the listening pleasure comes from the LCR anyway, not that surround is not important but if a choice has to be made, you should prioritize the SVS LCR, then as the budget comes a long, go ahead and get the SSS to further enhance your listening pleasure.

Yes prioritize LCR, however for better timber matching dapat talaga SSS ang kunin mo. (hanep, parang alam yung sinasabi no??? ;D

Im sure there are others reading this thread asking themselves if their current AVR is good enough to drive SVS speakers. So maybe those with svs speakers can chime in and give their impression in whatever brand of avr they have.

hindi pa, hula ko lang.
para naman to sa may mga sakura amp na pwede din sila bumile ng SVS speaker. di kelangan naka denon, onkyo, yammy etc. lang
i could borrow an amp though just for the heck of testing the speaker. pag di ako tinamad i will post an impression ;D ;D

that's why i prefer demo'ing the speakers with audio content. feel ko kasi (except for LFE bass) walang lamang ang movie content sa music ... so if it's good for music, it should be good for HT [but not necessarily vice versa]

+100 ka kapitana :D
Seriously, this is true. Whenever I help master anthony with auditioning/reviewing his new speakers, I always audition it in audio. In fact, bonus nalang after yung Ht.
'Coz in HT - focus ng attention is always what we see on the screen - so mahirap mag evaluate ng speaker based on just dialogue or effects. Unless of course kung concerts, but may concerts din na hindi maganda ang mastering - so audio CD is still the best.
If you guys remember the very first SVS speaker EB we had and sir Obsi brought his Telarc audio disk - that sound of the T-Rex was so very crisp and clear that it sealed my decision to switch to SVS speakers ;)
I even downloaded that exact T-Rex file na lossless in my computer to check if my Rotel integrated 1062 and B&W 602s3 computer setup could possibly match what i heard in the EB - sadly it did not. Which is also why I decided to sell my B&W speakers that I was using in my HT.

kaya madami ngayon ang mga concert mkv ko and watch them over and over again. unlike sa movies na isang beses lang sawa na ako panoorin uli. maraming natuwa including my prens when i demo'ed them the concert. kahit andrea boccelli at yong berlin orchestra na di ko hilig, pabalikbalik ko rin pinanood. parang nasa harap ko si andrea corr...este boccelli pala.

M series is audiophile grade so im sure this one will bring tough competitions to the perennial brands in the two channel stereo arena though having to experience listening to the SCS, i can proudly say it has the details and the clarity i have heard from a 180K pair floor stander set aside the bottom end off course.
Post by: Onkyo606 on Feb 03, 2011 at 06:14 PM
Tindi talaga ng SVS! Parang kahit di mo i-audition, sa mga comment pa lang ng mga owners at reviews na nabasa ko eh mukang di ka magsisisi. Sana may makapag test ng SVS+Pioneer AVR. Bright sounding daw kasi ang Pioneer. Worry ko lang is bright + neutral = medyo bright pa din.
the biggest strenght for me of the SVS speaks the HF side, very crisp sounding but not ear fatigueing so i doubt it if the norms of bright, warm, neutral would even have an effect
from my understanding, you say its bright pag makalansing, warm pag laidback, SVS speak would give you details and clarity walang unwanted HF na nakakairita sa pandinig.

Post by: Onkyo606 on Feb 05, 2011 at 06:19 PM
I had a couple of reasons for going to graceland, one is to check out on the STS 02 and the other to check out on another SVS product. Several genres of music were played by mike c with the SB12NSD activated alongside the STS 02. My impression on the SB12 will be posted on the SVS subwoofer thread.
Right off the bat, what strikes me is the HF side of the STS 02. This is probably the best I heard in quite a while in this department. In any type of music genres, this speaker impressed me a lot. Music sounds livelier and is very dynamic. I have heard several speakers with HF that kills my ears but this one is not, i usually put my ears closely to the tweeter everytime i listen to a speaker but this one I could probably afford to do this while listening to the whole song. On the bottom end, this may not trample the big guys out there but heck, thats the reason why you have the SVS sub. Saying the aforementioned though does not take away any luster on the bottom end of the STS 02. I still find them sufficient and enough to fulfill my needs in pure audio listening without the sub.
if theres anyone out there who takes into account physical appearance in considering a speaker, STS 02 stands out with some of the best, very minimalist design, very solidly built and the grill cover alone would make me salivate. It stands like a ramp model with its slender built. Whats nice, its sealed so for those that has placement challenge, you can place it very near the front wall without any issues usually present in rear ported speakers.
as much as i want to dwell on a more technical review and impressions, I just cant wiht my limited knowledge about these. To simplify my impressions, I LIKE IT

brader weng, dont second guess yourself, i know your SCS's are relatively new but the STS 02 is a worthy replacement, you may be losing a bit of your investment in the SCS when you sell them but what the heck, the loss is far outweighted by the gains you will have with the STS, its like taking one step backwards but three steps forward.
id say INDULGE. ;)

every trip to graceland is always worthwhile, more than anything else, becasue I get the chance to share some good laughs and stories with fellow SVS lovers and HT enthusiasts. earlier it was all fun and laughter with macdon, stickfigther, vtec3(good to see you again sir ;)) jojod818, yes the famous tube and ss amp builder now delving in HT and later in the day ryan750 a very young DIYer.

Why? Because I dont like the combination :D
The price difference between PBPlus and Ultra is negligible that its best to get the Ultra. Knowing the size of your HT room pa, the Ultra will serve you best.
You may easily get the PBPlus now, but you'll always wonder what the Ultra sounds like - that thought alone is not worth the price difference, IMHO.
Besides - this is actually the best time to get an Ultra since Mike is selling his personal Ultras ;)
Ooopss - sorry for the OT ;D

we share the same thoughts on the ultra-full stop, no more what ifs and next model to upgrade to ;D

The STS is obviously better ;)
Not only for music but will give you more oomph, depth and bigger/wider soundstage in your movies as well.
With the size of your HT room - Im sure you can do other things besides just watching tv/movies. Maybe a family activity or entertaining friends with 2.1 music - so dont limit yourself. Maximize your investment ;)

there are times naman na maraming tao sa room, like may party. that's why i am now happy with the wall mounted speakers, iwas tumba sa mga malilikot na kiddos. kung balik FS, e cordone ko na naman ang speakers away from the kids ;D

oo nga sir, i meant to kaya lang i had to leave kanina.
two ways to look at this:
this is the reasoning i used
SCS-02 + Ultra = same + upgrade
STS-02 + Plus = upgrade + upgrade
but...
SCS-02 + Ultra = 80% + 100% = 90% average
STS-02 + Plus = 90% + 80% = 85% average
:) will expound more again in an hour as i need to split again.

when we talk about the subs, going the Ultra route seems to have ended any craving for the best subwoofer experience we can have with SVS unless you are willing to get the SB16PLus. The PB12 plus seems like a jr Ultra so I guess you may just need to take away a little in the over all aspect of excellence compared to Ultra.
the STS compared to SCS from how I heard it, bottom end edge for STS obviously because of the addtional drivers, you can lay it out very near the wall because of its sealed design.
if its me, id go with the lesser headache for me as I believe both combinations you have cited would really sound excellent, its SVS afterall. If you have worries and qualms about the kids playing around and would give you head ached and stress on possible damage, it eliminates the whole enjoyment of the acquisition so its SCS ULtra for me, I enjoy the SQ, the looks and the kids can play around and enjoy too without me getting worried of damage and cordoning off the area in cases of parties.
ITS SVS AND PARTYING this time

based on the options, yun yung choice ko. but if i were to fill in C. it would be:
SCS + SB12NSD (preferably pair, but one will do) + Ultra
because SCS + SB12NSD > STS :) in terms of midbass punch

based on the options, yun yung choice ko. but if i were to fill in C. it would be:
SCS + SB12NSD (preferably pair, but one will do) + Ultra
because SCS + SB12NSD > STS :) in terms of midbass punch
Kapitana - in such a situation where there is SCS + SB12(single) + Ultra ............. how are they connected in the chain and how is the positioning/layout?

the SB12NSD(s) would take their signals from the left and right preouts of the receiver (one each if dual)
-so the SB12NSD(s)' lowpass crossovers will be utilized
-receiver crossover would be lowered from 80-110hz to 40-80hz depending on user's taste
this would send all redirected bass above the receiver crossover to the SCS and SB12NSD (unless you have an external amp or pre-out:main-ins, where the SB12NSD can send a highpassed signal to the mains)
while LFE will still go to the Ultra (the lfe subwoofer)

sir macdon had these made when he thought he was gonna use the SCS speakers for his HT, he kulam'ed himself, but that is another story ...

32" tall, SCS-02/01M when placed on this stand would position the tweeter at exactly 42" high (normal chair + normal height = ear level)
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a330/superribbit/sale/IMG_3845a.jpg)
due to the height, the stand itself was made super solid (with a larger diameter post)
the base was also made extra large to make it very stable and bottom heavy
(removable spikes included)
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a330/superribbit/sale/IMG_3846a.jpg)
backplate added so the speaker can be screwed onto the stand. speaker already has female threaded holes at the bottom same as the ones on top of the speaker like in the pic. screws given free by sir macdon (he will screw anybody :-*)
kulang na lang butas sa plates (which i will do) and some washers.

nirvana.
very seldom do i see or here in fact havent yet that the speakers would blend very well with the sub.
There are too many beautiful speakers but the accompanying subwoofer of the same series is much to be desired. From my own listening impression, only SVS owns this distinction.

Just to add info:
For the first time in my hobby life - I tried the electrical wire as speaker wire route and I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Maybe the Denon avr is good and I'm sure the SVS speakers were great to begin with - but I felt that the electrical wire made them sound more dynamic, open and with fuller weight on the transients.
Of course, my hat is off to brader Cal for suggesting the idea ;)
To those who want to try the el cheapo experiment - I went with Phelps Dodge 14ga stranded single run wire which costs 30 pesos per meter. Since its a single run, you need to buy 2 (positive & negative) so that makes 60 pesos per meter. It comes in many colors and you can find them easily in any neighborhood hardware store.
According to both Cal & Jojod - you can also elect 16ga or 18ga as they present almost no loss even at long runs. Unless uber long run cguro like 30 or more meters :P
As oppose to buying 2 separate colors (1 color for left & 1 color for right), I went with all the same color but marked the other wire with a red electrical tape only at both ends to signify 'positive'.
Tie off both ends to anything solid and place the other ends in a drill - press to twist. Try to achieve 2-3 twists per inch if possible. Twisting the wires will make them less susceptible to noise, etc.
Twisting the wires will make them a tad shorter - maybe 10-15% shorter, so pls dont forget to add a bit of margin to your lengths when buying.
If you plan to terminate them with a banana plug - get those that you need to tighten via a grub screw as the ends of the electrical wire are hard. either that or go bare wire instead.
Sabi nga nila - the best termination is no termination. ;D

http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#wiretable
you check the ohms of the speaker and the length of the wire run ...
if i have 8ohm speakers, i use the 4ohm load just to be a million percent sure.
in normal rooms, gauge 14 would probably cover 99% of our use. i use gauge 12 so i have the option to change speakers. when wiring fixed runs (through conduit) i even ran dual gauge 12 per speaker.
para puwede bi-amping or bigger gauge when used together. sabi nila [estimated] dual gauge 14 used together is equivalent to gauge 13, dual gauge 12 is gauge 11, etc. [somebody correct me if i'm wrong]

is it made of copper or aluminum?
And I think THHN wire uses nylon coating that's why it's hard to twist.

SVS recommends using Omnimounts - which I believe MikeC would be bringing in as well.
For those who would like to view their options, Omnimounts is also distributed locally by Eleksis Marketing - distributor of Bose and Bello' racks.

Ingat lang sa pagbili ng electrical wires kasi madami fakes :( Bro mac pwede din iba color for positive and negative, like RED for positive and WHITE for negative, or Black and Red ;) cool to look at ;)

Naku, may fake din pala ::)
Yes, brader - as I've mentioned in my informal impressions above, I could've gone with 2 separate color wires to signify right & left. I guess under normal circumstances - I would do just that.
The only reason I went with 2 same color wires is because I dont want them to attract attention since exposed sila due to wall hanged speakers. I was just going for the same color as the attic walls ;)

Yes napakadaming fakes bro, whether stranded or solid you will be surprised ;D kaya madaming nasusunog na bahay lately.
I mean aside from the left and right, pwede yung positive -negative na lang para minimized risk ng magkabaliktad later on :D Anyways congrats again bro.

SCS + SB12NSD (preferably pair, but one will do) + Ultra
How can 3 subs be incorporated here saer? If lets say its connected to a typical 7.2 AVR?
Post by: Conan on Feb 11, 2011 at 08:47 AM

Either through the RCA pre-outs on the subwoofer amplifier or through the use of RCA splitter.
Post by: mike c on Feb 11, 2011 at 09:12 AM
How can 3 subs be incorporated here saer? If lets say its connected to a typical 7.2 AVR?
simplest way would be:
from receiver preouts ...
left preout to left SB12NSD
right preout to right SB12NSD
LFE preout to dedicated LFE sub
crossover on receiver would be between 60-80hz. this would mean the left and right (stereo) subs would get the signals from crossover point and up to the lowpass crossover setting we use on each of the stereo subs (which i would recommend to be around 105hz) e.g. 60-105hz
LFE sub still gets the full LFE channel and redirected bass from below crossover. and the stereo subs will get front left and right 60-105hz. added advantage of this setup, even if you press PURE DIRECT, you still get the benefit of the stereo subs except this time each are playing the full bass range below 105hz
Post by: Full HD 3D on Feb 11, 2011 at 11:33 AM
right preout to right SB12NSD
LFE preout to dedicated LFE sub
Base on my experience,ganyan ginawa ko

right preout to right SB12NSD
LFE preout to dedicated LFE sub

**center preout to center sub, if not paran there's a gapping whole sa center since almost 80% of info during movies are produced through this channel.
And the LFE preout to dedicated LFE sub(x2)

when you realized the gaping whole sa center, what crossover did we use? baka kasi since universal crossover setting, di kaya ng center channel yung low crossover setting?

Sir mike,
I'm a bit curious, has anyone tried using the MCS-02 as LCR, at least dito sa pinas, or abroad?
wala pa sir, since the price of the MCS-02 x2 is too close to the price of the MTS-02.
i do have some customers sharing a 3rd pair of towers to use as their center speaker ... e.g. MTS/STS x 3 pairs = two sets of LCR
Post by: macdon on May 03, 2011 at 12:37 PM
wala pa sir, since the price of the MCS-02 x2 is too close to the price of the MTS-02.
Thats correct. Plus you get much more from a pair of MTS rather than 2 x MCS at basically the same price.

MTS lang sir ... since most customers go for towers when they go M, tapos for surrounds, many go for SSS
i guess, until lumabas yung MSS
two woofers vs one ... one quality woofer > two ordinary woofers :) you know that more than anyone :D
svs has priced the MBS twice that of the SCS, they don't really price something double without double the performance :)

I see. I got confused there a bit.
In my recent HT setup, I could probably sneak a lone MTS in the middle as center speaker since both the plasma and the PJ screen is now higher............... but nahh, the Ultra's center position will not allow that :D
Thats what I like about the Ultra - it saves me from upgrades! ;D
Ayaw ko na kse sa FS eh, mas gusto ko naka wall-mount hehehe... :)
The STS has about the same footprint as the SCS (7" x 8.5"?), sans the footing base. So unless you badly needed the space below your wall mounted SCS, then the STS will be a great upgrade to your SCS.

Price wise, I think that the STS is very close the price of the MBS (correct me if Im wrong). Out of curiosity, you might like to a-b audition both to see how it rates. Parang David vs Goliath yan ;D
If you end up liking the STS, then its a worthwhile upgrade over the SCS ................ but if you end up liking the MBS, then I'll suggest hiking it up to the MTS as it will give you much, much more! ;)
Doesnt that give you the same analogy of switching from your 2 x NSD to a lone Ultra? ;D

The SSS are my first bipole speakers and Im enjoying them immensely with bluray media. I get to hear & feel things that I dont get from any of my previous monopole speakers.
Sir mike at sir mar, i got your point. I went in that direction with my 2x nsd. Will audition the mts soon. Thanks for your insights. :)
Sabay tayo ;) Kung may MBS to audition, sama ako :)

was planning on getting a sabre nautilus av rack sana kaya lang can't get in touch of matzter
ano ba ibang rack alternative? ayoko nung three legs (kasi yung one at the back istorbo to deep units) and ayoko nung may spikes kasi mahirap i-urong.

i plan to open a pair of M lang dito e ...

Sir mike, probably we can have the demo at Kagawad Mar's place, just bring the MBS, he has the MTS already ;D

If you're gonna compare STS and MBS, then only a pair of MBS would be opened since Mike already has STS on demo. I really dont see much sense in comparing the MBS and MTS as the latter will always be better.
My personal interest is actually on the MBS-01 and not the MBS-02 - I prefer the 'boutique' drivers of the 01s kasi eh. But for brader Fern, I suggest going the 02s na kasi wala na stock ang 01s eh.

Here's a review of the MBS-02 that might help you:
http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/svsound/38792-svsound-mbs-02-speaker-review.html
The reviewer already has the STS-02 in his system when he reviewed the MBS-02, so he naturally mentioned some comparisons between the two in his review.
Hope it serves as a good read ;)

look at the reviewer's signature ... MTS and MCS na siya. hehe. nung narinig niya yung M's, nabenta din STS-02 niya.

I agree with brader Tirso...delikado tong session na'to. Mahirap na...baka matablan nanaman ako ng kulam sa magic water ni sir Mike. :P
Seriously though, I regret that I won't make it as I have some place to go to on Saturday, Sept. 24. On Oct. 1 is the championship game of our company basketball sportsfest. Maybe Oct. 7 pwede ako...I will let you know sir Mike. Also, thank you very much for considering me as part of this close-knit session. I very much appreciate that. :)

I smell a shindig brewing in Graceland! ;D Invited ba ako sa event nyo?
Totoo na ba yan nakita ko - si kapitana Mike naka SVS narin?! hahahahaha :D
Im glad to see na nabuhay nanaman ang svs speaker thread - too many have asked me the difference between the S-series and M-series speakers, so here's the long & short reply:
S-series is a beautiful sounding quartet, while the M-series is a mind blowing orchestra! Let your ears be the judge! ;)

I was looking forward to seeing everyone, but I guess I will have to set a different date to visit you sir. :(

I have been lurking around the pdvd.com website for quite a while and am now scouting for speakers. I happened upon the SVS thread and wanted to get everyone's opinion regarding this particular pairing:
Denon 2311, sbs-02, scs-02, and (pc12nsd vs sb12nsd)
After going on the SVS website and seeing the low sensitivities of the sbs-02 and scs-02, I was wondering if the Denon 2311 would be able to power these speakers to a 'sufficient' decibel level for movie viewing. My family is not trying to watch at reference level, but I wanted to make sure 'clipping' would not become an issue. Unfortunately, I can't make my way to Ohio anytime in the near future to audition the speakers in person, but from what I have researched, these speakers are neutral (no coloration, etc.) and paired with the Denon, shouldn't veer off the 'neutral' sound I'm wanting to achieve from an HT system.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated and it's great to find the wealth of information provided by this forum. Mabuhay & Cheers to everyone!

hi sir, coincidentally, the S speaker getogether that happened sometime ago was conducted with a 2307 receiver (older version of your 2311). there were no problems running it louder than normal in the room (SPL you would turn down as soon as you hear it)
i computed that one only needs a continuous 34watts for the SCS, 4meter distance from the SCS speaker for ear damaging levels (100+db).

hi bro my previous Denon 1509 and current 1912 can easily power my SVS SSS bipole, SCS fronts (LCR) and preout pc13ultra :)
your receiver (Denon 2311) is more powerful than both (1509 and 1912), it should be fine :)
Post by: JesusIsLord on Oct 12, 2011 at 07:50 AM
Hi there bro! Thanks for the feedback, that's very encouraging to know. I'm going to research re: using the SCS-02s for my fronts. I saw that mentioned having the SVS pc13 Ultra. Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the cylinder sub over the 'boxed' type? I'm still deciding whether to get the PC12nsd or the sb12nsd. Thanks again for your advice!

Thanks for your feedback. I see that your the official distributor of SVS in the Philippines. I'm sure business is doing extremely well for you! ;) I wish I had time to go visit SVS in Ohio so I could personally audition the speakers. But from all the feedback and such, it seems this should serve my aural preferences (neutral, natural sound). I'm even considering getting the scs-02 for use as the LCR. By the way, the sbs-02s have a lesser sensitivity than the scs-02s right?
Again, thanks for your advise!

yes sir, SCS-02 has higher sensitivity than the SBS-02. I was thinking f3 point nung SBS-02 where it goes lower than the SCS-02. but they only have a 2db difference in sensitivity :)
(will correct my post)
Post by: JesusIsLord on Oct 12, 2011 at 08:57 AM
I agree. Actually that 2db sensitivity difference is a moot point. :) Could I request your thoughts re: my my decision between the pc12nsd or sb12nsd, considering your the expert & sole distributor of this impressive subwoofer line. ;D I'm happy that atleast I know for sure that my subwoofer choice is SVS!

i'm no expert, but just a hobbyist who decided that the Philippines needed better options than the usual suspects.
if you can handle the size and your usage for movies is 51% and higher, i would go for the PC12NSD.
the SB12NSD is meant for: those who listen to a lot of music, those who simply don't have the space, those who must please SWMBO and those who simply like the aesthetic look of the tiny box (with a big kick).

You are humble Mike....Only a subwoofer (and audio) guru would be able to gain the distribution rights of SVS in the Philippines. That is quite an accomplishment and I'm sure the Filipino AV gurus thank you for it! My usage of this HT will definitely be mostly for movies (bluray concerts & music listening sessions from time to time)....so I think the choice would be the PC12nsd, although I don't know how my wife will react to the big cylinder arriving on our doorstep, BUT I sure will be stoked about it! ;D Whenever I put my order in with SVS, I will definitely inform them of your helpfulness of advising me with the SVS line. I may have a couple more questions, so I hope you can bare with me. Atleast I know who to go to if ever we decide to purchase a vacation home in the Philippines. Last time we were there, we had a chance to look at property in Corinthian Hills and Greenmeadows & were quite impressed with both areas. The prices of the lots were quite reasonable and the location, atleast for me, was very good since both subdivisions were close to the Eastwood area (AWESOME restaurants) and Ortigas (Megamall, Robinsons, and Podium). Our son (2 years old) sure enjoyed Eastwood night life with the water-lights show and all the children's activities when we were there. Who knows....Maybe in the future, I will be building my "All-SVS" setup in the Philippines.

I saw that mentioned having the SVS pc13 Ultra. Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the cylinder sub over the 'boxed' type? I'm still deciding whether to get the PC12nsd or the sb12nsd. Thanks again for your advice!it was the way the cylinder sub reacted in my room :)
right now after moving to a smaller room, it made me loved my cylinder sub more ;D
don't get me wrong boxed type is also OK ha.

I actually offered/mediated between a local importer and SVS, pero di sila magkatuluyan.

@ninjababez
So very true bro, very true. I see a number of members with the saying "Its SVS or nothing"....Yep, I concur in the realm of subwoofers, this brand is WAY ahead of the pack, and considering in the US they offer customers a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, only attests to their confidence that customers will surely be impressed with their product! I believe that the pc12 nsd will be my choice because my HT use will be more for movies rather than music. Again, thanks for the advice ninjababez! ;D

I would agree..."Its SVS or nothing." I have never understood the real "purpose" of a subwoofer, until I experienced listening to SVS when I first auditioned it. Sir Mike will attest to this, the day I listened to the SVS subs, I told sir Mike, I will save for this - took almost a year...it was all worth the wait, the savings and the money.
On the day I picked up the subwoofer, the speakers landed on our shores. Just the same as the sub, I auditioned the speakers and I knew I had to own them, as the speakers and the sub do compliment one another. So I went back and bit the bullet. So now, I am one of the happy owners of an all SVS set-up. A truly and highly recommended speaker set-up and sub that any HT enthusiast must have. ;)

I guess it is true, it is "SVS or nothing"!
@All
I got a quick question, anyone have any experience with the M Series 02? My only concern with these speakers would be the nominal impedance of 4ohms....I'm contemplating going with separates: Pioneer Elite SC35 with the Emotiva XPA-3 (or) Denon 3310 with the Emotiva XPA-3. Considering these speakers were spec'ed at 4ohms, then having a power amp is presumably the only route to go, correct?
And after reading about the non-coloration, neutral character of the SVS line, equipment pairing (bright, warm, neutral receivers) wont be such an issue, but rather getting power to these speakers will be the main concern. Any M-Series 02 users or any thoughts from the experts? :)

which are you looking at sir? MTS-02 or MBS-02?
hi sir, i'm running the MTS-02 with just a receiver (no power amp) and there's no problem with it :) granted, i don't use entry level receivers, only mid-level receivers and up.
there will be no problems even with just the 3310, but SVS recommends the use of a power amp to ensure that the M series sings their best :)
also, make sure that there's proper ventilation to your receiver/amp and you will be fine :)
Post by: JesusIsLord on Oct 19, 2011 at 05:17 AM
LOL! I guess I will have to pay you royalty fees if "It's SVS or Nothing" is your proprietary statement. You should sell the rights to that statement to SVS because it sums up there performance perfectly.
@mikeC
If you don't mind me asking, what receiver have you been using to power your MTS-02s? My main concern is to make sure the center speaker will deliver on the dialogue and if it's under-powered, it may result in muffled voices or worst, having to re-view the scene to understand the dialogue. How would you characterize the sound of the MC-02? I really wish I could have made it to Ohio to demo, but just don't have the time....But to be honest with you, the "Wife Approval Factor" of the speakers is just through the roof. The rosenut finish sure makes these speakers a center piece for conversation! You know I had to take into account my wife's opinion. ;D

Previously the Onkyo 805. But i've switched to the Denon 2309 (hiyang ako sa denon, and this will show that even with lower power, it should still sound great)
except for the low ohms, there won't be problems wattage wise so it's unlikely you will be under powered.
i'm not very good at describing speaker's sound (that's why i was organizing a GTG) but what's great about the M series is this ... you can tailor the sound.
too much bass? go sealed.
too bright? use the tweeter attenuation switch

Post by: stickfighter on Mar 14, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Today, I found myself at Graceland. An unscheduled trip due to an immediate concern on my left SCS-01 speaker.
Just so you know...my HT is 99% used for viewing movies. I hardly listen to music on my set-up.
I recently downloaded a DTS Audio Demo file from the net. The first track was Seal's "A Prayer for the Dying." For some reason, at the intro of the song, an odd sound came upon the upper woofer of the left channel speaker, (where the intro focuses the output of the sound). It was so odd, it really caught my attention - something was definitely wrong. Deeply concerned, I stopped and immediately played the song from the beginning to make sure it was not just the quality of the file. But again, there goes the odd sound. It's very hard to describe. You would have to hear it to notice it.
So, I tried playing movies. So far so good, the odd sound was not heard from my listening position at all. Still doubtful, I went near the speaker, close enough to position my ear directly beside the woofer. There is was, the odd sound was there, but descrete.
I text sir Mike and told him about the problem. He got details of what was wrong and asked me to pack the speakers and take it back to him. Why you might ask? He offered to take them back for a replacement with a brand new set of speakers. :o I have had this set for 1 year and 4 months now and for those who don't know, the SCS-01's have been obsolete for some time now. So the direct replacement was the SCS-02's.
I am sharing this, because you will seldom find after sales customer service as GREAT as this! I am sure sir Mike is busy with his family business, but he willingly accommodated me this morning. My HATS OFF to you sir Mike for backing-up the "guarantee" that SVS offers to its consumers. Like I said on my text message sir Mike, you have a loyal customer in ME! :) SVS for Life! ;D
I work for a US company based here in the Phils and we have ONE goal...to turn a client to be a "CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!" Repeat business is the key. There is no great feeling in life than to know that a customer comes back to you...again and again and again. Not only for your products, but the after sales service you provide. ;)
Again, sir Mike, THANK YOU for your time, concern, effort, professionalism and integrity. More power to you and SVS! :)
PS: For some reason, the 02's sound better than the 01's ::)

Hi guys ask lang pwede kayang i match ang NAD 356 sa SCS-02(M)?
Yes! This speakers are very good for music. You'll be surprised. I suggest you audition them, so you can hear them for yourself. ;)

i am using an SSS-01 bipole speakers hooked as side surrounds on the receiver but placed at the back corner of the room. now, i want to place them at the rear wall, directly opposite to the fronts. do i have to change the connection on the AVR to rear surrounds? read somewhere that the side surrounds has more material than the rears. i had plans to add a new pair of bookshelves soon to be used as front wide.
will this setup work?
rear speakers = bipole
front wide = bookshelves
please throw in your suggestions so i won't commit an expensive mistake :)
Post by: Onkyo606 on Oct 03, 2012 at 04:33 PM
if you intend to use your bipole as surround back speaker, you need to change the assignment in the receiver accordingly. my take is that if Im using a dipole speaker, the value of installing a surround back would not be that significant anymore, similar if im using a bipole. the surround back speaker provides the least impact as most of the time monopole speakers are used for this purpose at least based on my own experience
the front wide speakers created the most impact in my set up before though there are some people who says the front height serves them better than the front wide does. there is a mounting requirement for these speakers and ensuring this is observed will create the optimum listening experience.
Post by: Weng! on Oct 04, 2012 at 02:00 AM
i think they call it surround speakers and surround back, probably the only reason why people are calling it side surround is becuase it is placed at the side wall but my undertansding is that you only have a surround and surround back/rear surround speaker.

i only have a surround bipole speakers placed at the back corner and no back surrounds. my plan is to cover the windows at the rear with acoustic panel and or diffuser to make my room a bat cave for PJ use. so, if direct firing bookshelves are required for the back surrounds then my SSS bipoles is of no use and can stay where they are at the back corner. i want only an extra pair for front wide to make up a 7.1 system.
can bipole work as front wide?

kapitan explaining some points during the speakers audition.
sorry as i did not get to take pictures in kapitan's ht room, was too busy enjoying the three ultras sing! :o :o :o
as the others have been saying a very neutral speaker set for the s series speakers of svs, no coloration at all, vocals during the lampano cd listening was crisp and clear. instruments played with clarity. obviously the speakers does not have great bass but as kapitan said, thats what the svs subs are for. ;)
sayang i was out already when they auditioned the center channel as well, but i have no doubt it should perform as expected. ;D

the massive MTS looking petite vs the Ultra
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a330/superribbit/SVS/aIMG_4947.jpg)
so with this last picture, i can conclude that the Ultra never was the replacement for the M series.
S=Small
M=Medium
L=Large but never released
Ultra=new naming system.
so kung may papalit man sa M, it might be called Plus (nothing is in the known pipeline)

same weight sir sa PC12Plus. pero bulky, hindi siya square, para walang parallel sides.
ang hindi kita sa picture e trapezoidal yung top niya. so the only two parallel sides are the top and bottom (na different naman ang size and shape)

bro anong take mo sa bookshelf ng ultra vs. mbs?
subjective kasi ang speakers. since sanay ears ko sa MBS, parang na-mi-miss ko yung MBS.
if i had to describe the sound, the MBS is warmer and the Ultra BS is brighter (a better sounding version of the STS).
hindi ko kasi na A/B pero bang for the buck yung MBS right now. super bigat ng MBS.

ikaw naman kasi, sabi ko sa iyo wag kanang mag sts. Diretso mts na. Si kagawad macdon, binenta b and w para sa m series di ba :)bro jao nung mag audition kasi tayo kila bro mike aminado naman ako na di talaga para sakin ang M series
Tapos nakailan balik din siguro tayo kila mike di ba, ayaw ko talaga.
Pero nung magkaroon ng enough time dito sa bahay pakinggan vs sts on denon and onkyo talo sya IMO kung denon receiver (baka dahil din sa underpowered sya)
long story short .. Synergy ;)
Post by: jao143 on Feb 05, 2013 at 12:24 PM
Post by: ninjababez® on Feb 05, 2013 at 11:18 PM
aside from synergy may inherent character kasi yung mga speakers and limitations. Kasi kung walang ganito eh di dapat parepareho lang ang presyo nang mga speakers. Kaya mas mahal yung mts sa scs kasi nga mas maganda talaga tumunog ito. However, to achieve this, dapat very capable yung receiver mo to drive the m series. Kung may weak link ka sa system mo it is very likely na di mo achieve full potential nang speakers di ba
anticipated ko na yung magpapalit ako ng receiver.
kaya nga matagal ko bago nai-post yun setup bro, kasi nag iisip parin ako kung tama yung upgrade path. ilan araw din ako puyat kakapakinig ng iba ibang configuration. ;D
malamang kung nag ultra ako denon parin receiver ko.
ikaw bro sure na sure ka na ba sa M? hehehe may ultra ngayon sa graceland pang demo ;)

While purely subjective, I find the Ultras to be a tad bright for my liking. Im sure others will interpret this as "detailed", but how I wish svs retained their tweeter attenuating switch that the "M" towers had.
With 2 midranges and the additional 2 mid bass drivers, I could understand why svs went for a metal dome tweeter - but im really not a fan of metal domes.

Thank you kagawad. Really appreciate your thoughts on this. What got me hooked into SVS speakers in the first place was its neutrality, not to warm not to bright. I upgraded my SCS because for me, it lacks detail in the higher frequency region or yung "kalansing" na tunog. But with the MTS-01, I found what I was looking and still nandun pa rin yun neutral characteristic na nagustuhan ko sa SCS :)
Congrats on choosing the "M" series - it is indeed a different class of sound from the "S". But if you want more "kalansing" - then the Ultra speakers might just be your cup of tea!

what SCS model was your previous speakers sir jao? i have owned an 01 series before and now using 02 series. i find the 02 has more kalansing than the 01.

Sir Weng, SCS 01s yung gamit ko dati eh paired with Denon 4310. Ngayon gamit ko, Onkyo 818 and Forte Audio Power Amp together with MTS and MCS 01s. SSS-02 gamit ko for surrounds

kaya pala. the 02 has more details in the highs dept but the M series for sure is better.

seriously though marami nagsabi sakin mas maganda ang M sa S. (ako lang yata S fanboi at that time)
pero naman kasi nung time na nag EB kami mas bagay talaga sa receiver ko yung S. kaya nag upgrade ako sa STS. :)
pinaghandaan ko talaga yun receiver bago ako nagswitch sa M. tapos ala godfather pa si bro mike "ill make you an offer you cant refuse" ;D
bro Macdon, while watching adele and the kid in david foster 2011 (sino nga ba ito?) dun ko narealise yung difference nung M and S series. mas maganda nga ang M pero kailangan ko pa gumamit ng ibang receiver para marinig ito. mas marami rin detail pagdating sa higher frequency (surprisingly) :)
warm parin IMO ang M while S is neutral. but onkyo and M for me is just right. bro jao, wala parin stock nung cp :(
maiba ako, pano nyo nalaman ito na mas maganda ang M nung una palang?
ako kasi nung 1912 pa pinang test ko sa M mas maganda pa rin sakin yung S.
nung naka 807 na ako dun lang ako napangiti ng M?

Jamy - choosing speakers is really subjective and your narrated experience is proof of that - ultimately, its your ears that needs to be satisfied so follow it.
There will always be many factors that would influence a speaker's character - equipment, setup, room acoustics, source material, etc. - so never expect the same exact sound that you hear in a store or Kapitana's living room to be the same in your room.
With regards to the S and M speakers, the S has a higher ohm and sensitivity than the M - so naturally it will be easier to drive. Ed Mullen of svs recommends using a power amp for the M series to bring out its best. Have you atleast tried this recommendation?

question for M-series owners. Are the spikes' size proprietary or is it a generic size? This is because I feel bad for Sir jao143 because I have the spikes, "coin" receivers, and speaker base mounts of his M towers, but it's missing 2 spikes and 3 "coin" receivers for the spikes.
I cant recall if adhered or bolt on - parang adhered lang ata. If so, you can use any generic spike just as long as the metal base will accept it. 1-1.5" diameter spike base would be adequate.

We believe that two (or four) small Satellite speakers wall-mounted near the ceiling and angled downward at the listening position would easily outperform the up-firing option, and would also be easier to install and considerably more affordable than the in-ceiling option, while offering similar performance.
Additionally, the high wall-mount option (if the speakers are carefully positioned with some forethought) would be compatible with the upcoming Auro 3D surround sound format, which (similar to Atmos) features overhead sound effects.
For these reasons we suspect the high wall-mount option (while not officially endorsed by Dolby) will become the most popular, affordable and practical solution to enjoying the next generation of surround sound formats.

oo nga. malaki masyado ang propads. hahaha
two sizes ang propads. one is the same size as the mopads (when together) and the other is the XL meant for very large speakers or center speakers.
propads vs mopads
mopads is all acoustic foam
propads is made of layers: medium, hard then soft at the bottom

May onting dip at 4kHz, tapos hot daw ng onti yung treble past 8kHz. Bagay sa metal, ayon sa reviewer.
Nothing that can't be fixed with a little EQ (DSP correction file also downloadable in the review).
Post by: Onkyo606 on Apr 01, 2018 at 03:04 PM
The past two years though my interest in using my HT died down probably because it does not offer anything new anymore so I just watch occasionaly to fire the system up. Last week I stumbled upon some reviews of the SVS Prime Towers and it got me curios so I checked all reviews I could get my hand on. To cut the long story short, all reviews gave the Prime Towers excellent ratings. After going through all reviews I contacted Mike C and inquired. His simple reply, Prime will put to shame my RS.I said to myself no way.Only one way to find out so yesterday I went to Grace Village and auditioned the Prime Towers and Center.
We started with music tracks and was blown away immediately. What kept me drawn to it was the bass it produces,quite deep and controlle without getting distorted. When I say bass I mean I thought the PB200 was playing when I was listening. Bass was so strong audiophiles who run set up with subwoofers would find no need for it, this part I am not exaggerating. Strong but controlled not the punchy type.
So I finally got to set it up and immediately played my favorite Paramita track.While playing I was reminded of a set up that is my benchmark for audio and again without exaggeration.the PRIME sounded like that speakers. My MA was nowhere close to that benchmark set up but the PRIME is.Simply put, the PRIME indeed beat the hell out of my MA RS6. Now readers of this post maybe skeptical about what I'm saying perhaps thinking I am Mike C's SVS poster boy but no the PRIME really delivers. If I may say the PSA sounded better than my SVS so there not a SVS posterboy indeed.
I then tried the PRIMES with movies and boy I am really impressed.Played Hacksaw Ridge and have never heard the dialogues as clear as with the PRIME center. I just realized the wonders that a SVS LCR with SVS subwoofers can do. Using the PRIME LCR establishes the more its superiority over MA RS6 and RSLCR.
Sorry folks but I'm not as good as the others in doing a review but based on my understanding, the PRIME is really an excellent performer.Reviews in the internet are consistent with what I am hearing so far.My only hope is that the confirmed buyer of my MAs will not be able to read this as he may back out of the deal.
Thank you as usual Mike C!!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180401/48b7e145dd61266db75f02a4feb9955f.jpg)
