He can't get his very own 'Ketam' to approve it. So, he eneded with a bolster.

Last week Saturday,I just attended the SVS subwoofer launching event at Crystal Crown hotel with my wife.My wife was complaining why we could not feel the bass and the vibration even they were demoing 2 subwoofer at the same time which is a super huge sub!Since this Svs sub is been much highly praised in the western country,I was very dissapointed about the sound quality and the lack of bass during the demo!Was it due to lack of calibration or the sub is under power?even my room size 20 x 35 feet length and im using 2 JBL 12ich Sub and my room could feel the bass and vibration when they were demoing the Transformers movie starting scene when the helicopter create alot of vibration and also we can feel the bass when the helicopter landed and the shock wave scene during the helicopter transformation and explotion from the helicopter,I can feel the bass from my sub.But none of this feeling happen during the show at SVS showroom.Is it the SVS sub underpower?And also the speaker is too bright and irritating to me n my wife ears!Is it because of the speaker characteristic or the amplifier characteristic?Even some forum members stated that even from next door they could feel the vibration is all BULLSHIT!as i was in the room i could not even feel it.What actually happen during the demo is up to everybody's opinion.So can i have some comment from other forum members?

In my opinion such a important event like this,they should calibrate it perfectly even from front to back and every angle of the place before the event start.Now i was wondering whether the review from the oversea is true or BULLSHIT!I think the best way is to listen by yourself AND NOT BY LOOKING AT THE SPECIFICATION AND REVIEW!What i want to say is why SVS doesn't have the huge bass as it was claimed in every website or is the Sub amplifier is under power?

Thank you, Ronald. You think i should place the sub directly in front of me? They ia a rule of thump that state the sub should not be place at the mid way and since during the event it was place at the specific right placement for the subwoofer , i begin to wonder where the fault lies. Even my wife is not a movies  freak also complaint 2 words, no bass and sound very bright. How big is Maxx Loh room? I hope i don't offend other forumers as we as consumers need to know what actully was happening during the event. Friends were telling me, this SVS is very good must buy but Sg dealers mentioned the other way round instead.

Which is why I said it is a possibility...  

Anyhow, let's not forget that the MTS-01 is a pair of very power demanding and power sapping speakers.  
I do feel that the speakers can do really good with a power amp that has more power and more importantly...... control.
Anyway, the Rotel is a 2-channel power amp. 
If only the 4310 alone, the sound ain't going to be good.

Huge bass?
In my opinion huge bass should be tight,punchy,solid and bass wave is wide.
But all this characteristic of a good subwoofer doesn;t show up during the Transformers movies and Die Hard 4.
I only can hear all those sharp and bright noise and no bass!!!
Not to mention that at certain explotion scene,instead of bass,I can only hear the sound of slight wind instead of  the oomph sound that you normally enjoy even in the cinema
Correct me if i am wrong.
Is it SVS characteristic when you need more sub to bring up to that kind of level?
If it really happens,I think it would be very costly by buying so many sub at a time to feel the punchy and oomph feeling.

Wah MPYW u need 4 sub to reach that kind of level EVEN YOU ARE SITTING INFRONT??
I thought they were using 2 SUB only.
If like this,based on my room size,then i think i should need 8 sub to get this kind of soundstage?
That would be very costly.
Thanks.

Taukeh car scope,
MPYW already stated ONLY BY USING 4 SUB HE ONLY CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION AND NOT TO FORGET THE BASS CAN BE FELT ONLY BY SITTING ON THE FRONT ROW!
and yet you mentioned that 1 sub is already enough?
how could it be for a big room need one sub only just like during the event?
As you know during the show first round demo,they are using 2 sub only and you mentioned that one sub is enough for my room size?
Kind of funny.

Thanks for helping also.
but brother MPYW were listening to 4 subs setup during the 2nd demo and don;t forget he already stated the sub feeling only can be felt at the front row.
And im not wrong,on the 2nd row the distance from the sub should be in the distance of 10 till 12 feet only.
My position from my sitting place to the front sub is around 25 feet in distance so i think the minimum requirement should be 6 sub.
Correct me if i am wrong but don't forget MPYW he is listening to 4 sub demo setup.

1st demo 2 sub or 4 sub?
So that means to say just like brother MPYW mentioned that we need to sit at the front row only we can feel the bass?

i thought it was also 7.4 during 1st demo according to htkaki.

could it be that the AS-EQ1 is doing its job to flatten the bass response curve resulting in perceived 'less' bass whilst our home systems suffer from boominess due to room issues? 

Ok thanks brother ronald joe.
There is no end to this puzzle.
Thanks alot for sharing some useful information.
Im going to U.S for some business purpose next fall.
If got time and chances,
Maybe i would drop by at SVS place through their given address to listen and test it.
Thanks alot then.

eh? I thought can buy As-EQ1 and SVS locally already. Why buy from US?
