I'm one of the lucky persons who was able to experience the 'boom-boom bang-bang' of htkaki's new toy svs pc13+ drool.gif

Svs did outperform spl 1200 ultra. Bass is tighter, more refined and provides more depth. I remember there's a scene where I can really feel the people running down the staircase from far, which spl could not provide. And a scene in Master and Commander where the blasting of canons took place. I felt like the canon is blasting towards my direction. thumbup.gif

Other than that, I felt that svs did not outperform spl very much. In certain scenes I could not find any difference between both of them. Maybe just my peasant ears, but that's what I felt.

Giving the same price range, I'll still recommend Svs. But this is a real gigantic thing that will consume up your space. If you have enough space to play around, go for it. Guarantee no regret. biggrin.gif

Too bad I will not be able to get this thing as my HM definitely won't approve it. I just bought the CHT-10Q not too long ago, and she'll notice the difference immediately if I change the sub. I heard htkaki said even pb13+ is also a gigantic thing which will break your back if u were to carry it alone. sweat.gif Guess I'll have to settle for spl 1200 ultra as I got a quite attractive deal from A&L for trading in 10Q for spl. My HM won't be able to spot the difference as both of them almost the same size.

but the size of the sub taken me aback sweat.gif

I think the difference between low end sub and high end sub really does matter in terms of overshadowing the details from other speakers
I felt the exceptional booming of the sub for my previous 10Q
but for spl 1200 ultra, I can feel that it blends well with the front speakers yet providing deep bass

And the price is 3x of your 10Q tongue.gif

Does the performance justify the 3x price?
*
for me it's definitely justified
not only becoz i've paid 3X the price so i must make myself feel it's justified tongue.gif
the performance really wins hands down

but again if i have the choice
i'll go for svs sub
but too bad i have to leave out the choice sad.gif

Wah bro, i din say that lar... I wanna sell cos i have not gotten my HT setup and and since its still box i dont wanna open it so can sell as brand new mar...

Difference is not heaven and earth lah but rather individual preference. Some prefer Velo some prefer SVS.. For me i like the natural bass the SVS gives out..
*
Thought that the difference is really that significant to make u ditch the boxed spl 1200 ultra laugh.gif

btw, I auditioned at Htkaki's house before for his PC-12+ and one forummer's spl 1200 ultra
the difference is not heaven and earth
For me, svs wins marginally on certain functions like deep bass, and natural bass
the rest I found no difference

I've thought of getting pb-12+ for upgrading (cylinder sub is no way for me due to wife factor)
but then I have to give up due to its gigantic size and space constraint
in the end I settled for spl 1200 ultra which I found not too far away from pc-12+

I've thought of getting SB12 instead
but heard that not enough oomph
only if SB15 is released earlier I will consider that

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Sep 1 2009, 02:56 PM)
A short audition is really not enough experience the full range of sound from the SVS.  AS I watch more and more movies with my new SVS PC12+, I am beginning to get a richer sound experience from the PC12+.  There are some scenes that goes so low it makes you  shocking.gif  rolleyes.gif  thumbup.gif  wub.gif  rclxub.gif but those scen are very few and sometimes only happens like once in the whole movie.  Although i never heard of the SPL1200U, i can safely say that the SVS is more than what i expected and will recommend it to any serious HT heads.
*
I agree with u that it can't go lower as it's a sealed sub
but after few rounds of movies
I can say that spl 1200 ultra gives me the bass effect that I want
on certain scenes with low LFE I can even felt the compressed air blowing my feet laugh.gif
