@joogeman - i made the table, hehe. Thanks!
@dimfer - Same here, mostly used for movies as the wife and i are very much into it more than music. Would most likely get a saparate setup for music if ever. As far as i know, i dont think the dtsx upgrade is released yet (the lack of material also makes it less of a priority). Its the little things, like improved accueq, lip sync, more minor adjustments on the fly, and overall setup that makes the difference (and more of a "future-proof" update if anything)...Yeah, i personally can't justify any update for my receiver anytime soon as well. You're on spot with the great value part.
@DTNS - i think it's excellent! I used to have a ported downfiring polk sub. The boom was there of course, but a tad too boomy for the room now (condo unit). I thought going with the SB2000 would still give me that low sound without the boom but minus a certain amount of character to the low end. I was very pleased to get an even fuller sound than my previous polk, and without the muddy, boomy bass. A tighter, more controlled sound for sure, but enough body for an enjoyable ht experience, especially in our small room setup (without distubing the neighbors...the auralex helps as well).
if in a larger room, and not in a condo, i would most likely consider a bigger, ported svs. The sb-2000 delivers for our needs without a doubt.
