Thanks. My room is about 11' x 19'. The 110" screen is kind of squeezing the front space a bit though.. wished i had a wider room..

Added on June 19, 2009, 2:35 pmYes, the 2011 does have the 7 analog in and I do consider the bdp-83 option as well. I saw the deal happening at XtremePlace and quite interested. But I don't have plans to go down to S'pore any time soon. How to bring it back?

Hmm, I got not so good experience with my previous Rel Stadium II box sub, and feel that the cylinder SVS sub gives much better perfromance. Actually I also like the smaller footprint for the bin as well. it's just that the height got into the way when placed in front. Maybe I should audition a SVS box someday to see if it works for me...

I wouldn't be bringing BDP-83 as I would be busy.

How vast difference is PCM /Analog compares to bitstream? I bet megatron007 has the answer for you Taukeh, time to change your avr?

This is really nice setup.

You could also lay down the cylinder on its side if you don't have the vertical space. I remember reading on AVS that somebody from SVS commented that there shouldn't be any problem laying down the sub on its side

Hi,

I m using d PB12+(12.3driver) n I dont find it lackin..

If given de choice I would hv chosen de cyl too but they didnt offer tat when I bought mine..

Turnin de bin on its side is not a gud idea, dun forget.. it vibrates..

I still say jus get de equivalent box n u'd still be happy..

Jus my 2 cts
Dirtrun

Yalor, thinking about it for long time oredi, but the 2011 is still kicking strong and I don't know how to justify to the HM... got trade-in deal or not?? I am eyeing the new Denon models,, any chance?

Added on June 19, 2009, 5:39 pmThanks. Actually I am quite happy that I have finnally managed to DIY the manual mask for the screen to get the 2.39:1 ratio. Thought for it for many years before finally get it done without costing a bomb. It now makes watching movie with a lot more theater feel because of the "widescope".

How far back from the screen are u sitting?

If no trade in deal then just sell off 2nd hand in this forum or hifi4sale website.

Can share some details about your manual masking system? I suppose masks from top and bottom? What kind of dark material you used for the mask?

Somehow I got pyched to believe cylinder was better too, and that's why without thinking twice I ordered the PC+ when SVS got the export permit to ship direct to Malaysia for the model last year. So now, I am stuck with it and will not be easy to justify to the HM to change it to box again.

Guess I will put priority on getting the HD Audio now, and if can find time and the urge, move the bin to the front to test and make the meausrement to determine whether it's worthwhile to move the screen. Actually I shifted the screen myself up about 1 foot before. So I am well aware of what does it take. Basically it will be the cost of few wall plugs and a day of my time. Wish me luck..

Added on June 19, 2009, 6:25 pmIt's about 12feet away.

I won't dare to call it a masking system It does cover top and bottom and it's basically just using right angle rack support. I guess it's only ok for dedicated dark room becasue if the room is well lit, you can clearly see the racks. Will try to take some pictures to show later. As for the material, it's actually from long black drapes that I bought from IKEA many years back. I bought it at that time to use it as curtain to darken and reduce the sound reflection at the near side wall when my setup was at the living room. The material is black enough but it definitely doesn't absorb light like black velvet material.

Got a feeling that someone will complain already as this is supposed to be the official subwoofer thread..

Laying down the sub will got extra moving bass sound bcoz the sub can rolling everywhere which inside the room...

Anyone thing of mounting it on the ceiling?

LOL.... anyone wanna try it.....

for such setup

get urself at least a 3808A

Jack28HT, i have the similar problem. Room aint wide enough to put PC12Plus up front as it would be blocking my screen. So, I can't put it at ideal positions (after sub crawl). Ended up at 4th best position.

I had problem worse that all of you guys in here.
I ended up having the sub faced in towards the walls.

Yesterday, i held my breath and just "kan kan lai" revamped my entire living room and rotated my whole setup.
Half way through I almost panic and wanted to give up as I'm not sure if it's gonna help me find a better sub and listening position.
From 8~1in the morning, I sat down when it's all done, ran YPAO and re calibrated with a SPL which I borrowed from "Aiman04" and surprisingly, YPAO did a good job, everything was spot on! And it sounded wonderful.

Yes I had a null area, "htkaki" and "Jack from SVS" was spot on.
Now I took down all my acoustic absorbers, and it still sounds great. Too tired to put them back on and experiment on the improvements.

My thanks to "htkaki" and "Aiman04" for the tools and insights.

dude....me next with the spl meter

Sure no problem, but it ain't mine. Better if you'd ask before hand.
Anyway I still need it for another week, Need to do the room EQ's with panels to harmonize my small little area.
Now I really need to work on the diffuser project liao.

Glad finally you've got what you're looking for from your sub. How's the sound compare to velo?

And how does PC-12Plus sound against your ex-PB-10NSD eh?

I heard that he was around you place today eh ... i still haven't got a chance to go let my dead skins blast off by your 12+.
No need to spa liao.
p/s need to vacuum floor after audition liao.

And how does PC-12Plus sound against your ex-PB-10NSD eh?

Its in a different league la bro. For sure the pc12+ is way better than the pb10.
As an entry level sub, I would say pb10 would excell in a small room environment, though.
But giving the size of my living room now, pc12+ would give me more headroom as suggested by Jack fr SVS.
