ano na difference nung new and old?
sabi ni sir nelson meron na raw bago e...

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"

Saturday is usually a sacred day for me un touched by anyone except I have good reasons to get out of the house and spend it some where else I know worth my time. GRACELAND have always been worthy of visiting as you would usually go there to get the much talked about and much sought SVS subwoofer, definitely worht evry time and effort and money.

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. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Many thanks to our Graceland host sir MikeC - for the food, the SVS audition and specially the discounts!  :D

Huge congrats to brader Arn for getting 2 pb12s and to brader Jaol for getting his 2nd pc12 SVS sub! Woohooo! ;D ;D ;D

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

some pictures i took during the small eb for the svs speakers. thanks sir mike sa hospitality and pizzas! great day spent with friends and fellow enthusiast!


the scs-01 center atop an auralex board.


the pc12 plus cylinder sub, and a 12nsd beside it, got to hear both alternately. bass so clean and accurate!


the 10nsd with the lampano cd we used for auditioning the speakers in stereo.


brader martin holding onto the sss-01 bipole speakers, ayaw ng bitawan!


ano kaya binubulong ni kagawad kay kapitan....


obsi, stickfighter, kapitan and kagawad


kagawad, onkyo606 and ninjababes


brader martin and jao, si brader martin tawang tawa sa joke ni kagawad mac!


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

Good morning on a very nice Saturday evening! ;D Yes...you read it correctly. I just woke up today, after spending my entire morning at GRACELAND, directly from my graveyard shift last night. :)

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
