Congrat on V2.0! Hmm...that AS-EQ1 does look interesting...

SVS owner reporting in..
congrats in ver 2
already updated the owner list

I have just updated the list.

Anyone else being left out? Do let me know

Congrats on V2.

Umm... is mys_terious PB13 or PC13?

Ain't very sure.
He is getting subdude from me.

mys_terious is just being...mysterious

htkaki, shd know cos he's got the owner's list.

so many got big subs...would like to listen to pb13-ultra one day

i belong the to the PC clan:)

paiseh... couldn't retrieve the data. Dunno where it is.

Have to Pm him and ask. Probably it is PC.

ycs, you are welcome to test whenever you are free.

Thanks bro the the update list.
Havent engaged long time in this forum and I see lot of members upgrading.
Still waiting for u though to listen to my set up when u free.

Bro,

Normally what time is ok for you? Weekend will be difficult for me since I have already arranged appointments til end Dec.

I think weekdays esp afternoon would be good but not this week. Jan would be a bz month for me.

Next week weekdays noon is fine. Just tell me when u free.
Thanks.

been a while since we last have any FR graph.

This is mine - SW - SVS PC13u

Please set the trim level (-1.5) at your avr. Then, use the RS spl meter to create another Fr graph for comparison. Tq.

Sorry, don't understand this part. You mean manually plot a graph using the RS SPL meter and test tones, to compare vs EQ1 graph?

Also, any idea why EQ1 starts to roll off around 24-25 Hz?

Yes, to compare with EQ1 graph.

There is something missing in the graph. It should roll-off later.

Kiam, did you follow the steps of the sub setting prior to the EQ1 calibration. For EQ1 s/w, there is an option for Auto EQ. If your avr has Auto EQ, then you need to select 'On'.

Oh yes, I thought that you do not have a tall tripod to put it up at listening level. Or you 'modified' your mini tripod to get it at ear height.

Did you follow these prior to the calibration:

1. Ensure the Gain on your subwoofer(s) plate amp is set to the middle of its range as a starting point.

2. Set the Phase control of your subwoofer(s) to 0 (the AS-EQ1 will adjust each subwoofer to ensure proper phase alignment).

3. Bypass the subwoofer’s built-in low pass filter (often referred to as a ‘crossover’) with the defeat switch or by connecting to an unfiltered input (typically labeled “Direct”, “LFE”, or “THX”). If it is not possible to
bypass the low pass filter, set the filter control to its highest frequency setting.

tis graph is b4 or after? Why yoyo so much?

Black line is before, red line is after.

With the "PC-14 Ultimate" at the back to do the job for the bass in my room.
Hahahahaha...

PC-14?

I like your PC14 bass trap

Fuyooo..... prototype PC.

boss, ya...dont have the tall tripod. Will only able to rerun things coming newyear weekend. Just did a quick setup by stacking a few things to bring the mini tripod to ear height.

now in pg. waiting for ront88 boss to bring me go eat prawn mee too

Btw, haven't seen anfieldude popping up here lately.

FHD pj is the way to go

Due to financial constraint, I have to continue using my 'cheapo' HD65

wow 60"

yeah man... 120" image at 2.35:1 .. dem chun.. if got curve screen lagi chun!

Been quite busy lately guys....Re-setup my AV system, the KRP (only 14hrs on it now) last weekend. Not done Audyssey as yet...need to go check out the XPA3. Watched some sports on Astro HD, pretty darned good.

Need to move around my speakers and sub as the room accoustics has changed a little. Need to spend some time setting up the rest this weekend. Then some FR curves to go. Hopefully, if the AS-EQ1 is up north, can do some checks with it as well...

I think it will take another 3 weeks to complete setup. Then need to calibrate the KRPs to ISFccc.

post some picture of your setup bro

AS-EQ1 is with kiam now. Once he had tested it, he'll bring to PG for you.

The Jan 2010 issue of PrimeAV have review for SVS MTS-01 5.1 setup....

Boss, have you got this copy? What's the result of the review?

Sound & Vision September 2009. SVS PB12-Plus won the '6 subwoofers head-to-head tests'

first time up close n personal with pc13u last nite. all i can say is when properly tuned this thing really a beast as per claimed. now i heard the low rumble of die hard 4 tunnel scene which my sub can't produce

next need to listen to pc12+

then next would be the upgraditis virus

Welcome to the gang! no need to listen anymore larh. Just get one and admire in you own living premise.

no worries, he's got the virus in him all these while. practically it's in his genes.
hey bro lets run some practice together in mw2.

pc13u too big la dont think my hm will approve. so i need to listen to pc12+ first.

i wonder who will be kind enuf to let me do that

may i self invite myself too for the audition?
maybe grab a few bd's on the way ..

Who else other than our svs taukey . But if u plan to visit htkaki pad u are welcome to test my pc12+ on yr way there.

This post has been edited by maja_5365: Jan 7 2010, 05:05 PM

I tot someone S&V review standards becoming like What hi-fi?

U already upgrade to pc13?

ok... my mw2 skills still sucks

PB12 or PC12 better ah?

Tested the PB13U today for the 1st time. What can I say that has not been said yet?

Bass is what u want, so u get. Forget the Buttkicker if u want tactile sensation! Get a PB13U man.

Seriously, this is one beast. By size, sheer power and the amount of air it pushes. I also ran some curves to test AS-EQ1's strengths at htkaki's pad.

HTkaki has a nightmare of a room for audio and REW showed them. REW also showed how effectively the AS-EQ1 dealt with it. Great unit.

I'm sure someone will ask how the PB13U compares to the other beast. This is my assesment.

One is an earthquake and the other is a tsunami....They have different characteristics yet both excel in different areas. The PB13U does the low rumblings with a lot of air being moved. The Submersive does it as well with the opposing 15in drivers, albeit in its own way. The amount of the bass is the same, the feeling derived is different. It depends on what u r looking for. The Seaton I tested still had a lot in it and the pad was restricting it. Same thing I felt with the SVS as well.

Bass freaks shd give the the PB13U an audition since u can actually audition it. If u r looking for pure clean bass, a Seaton might be ur cup of tea and u shd make friends with ron before deciding. They both achieve owner satisfaction, however they take different approaches.

The AS-EQ1 is a must have for those with bad room. htkaki's pad would have been way too boomy and un-tenable were it not for the AS-EQ1.

I will try to post the curves this weekend.

BTW - htkaki, thanks for hosting me. Say thanks to Mr. Tan as well. We need to see if he manages to find the sweet spot in his system.

Aint have any PC12+ at the moment. Will set all subwoofers up at the shop once it's ready by end Jan.

anfieldude just left not too long ago. I would not say much abt it and let him FR.

Now, I only want ronnt88 to come over



Bro, they pulled out this bcoz SVS beats one of the heavy advertisers mah



Near identical with PB edges PC marginally esp at abt 20Hz. Apart form that, only footprint is different.

This post has been edited by htkaki: Jan 7 2010, 11:05 PM

fuyoh.... sounds like a blast with the PB13U

will make sure i make a detour to seremban next time

I hope to make a trip to PG in end Feb to test your monster Submersive. Btw, EQ1 will be up to PG again by next week, I guess.

Guys,

I have to apologize for not posting the charts. My bad luck, I made an error when saving the files correctly after htkaki, Mr. Tan and myself looked at them. I will have to re-do the measurements the next time I am there. I'm sorry.

I watched District 9 in the evening. The MJ's This Is It trailer is amazing. The AQ is a blast. Can feel the power of the concert. Really shifting massive air with 'Beat It'. I bet the BD would be awesome!

wah you went to s;ban ar? when coming to KL??

SVS PB13-Ultra u can watch video people playing music many people say good playing music sound amazing SVS PB13-Ultra

HTKAKI u can watch video people say that subwoofer SVS PB13-Ultra amazing for playing music tight bass nice








This post has been edited by logit85: Jan 9 2010, 12:19 PM

have to listen 1st then decide

u cant make judgment based on utube video la no matter what people said. a caviar to some might be a jello to others

Sorry. Not see thread this you posted until PM you to me.

Ported sub movie good music not precise as sealed sub similarly priced. Pace and tightness sealed sub listering music better.

PB13-Ultra powerful loud boomy boom boom movie Floor shake shake wall vibrate. Submersive tight bass loud boomy boom boom music when listering you to Tight bass, precision pace esp Tamil songs with bass loud loud. Nice listering to as loud boomy boom boom bass from Submersive can wall shake, vibrates foundation house with powerful its amp.

why people say best PB13-Ultra u did watch people got two PB13-Ultra his house shake but nice
i did hear but nice bass its ok lah i like high tight bass
i know PB13-Ultra we can plug cover for ported to set sealed so be tight bass right

Trust me you need. It is designed in movie in mind first and music is second. A ported sub performs never better sealed sub.

Tamil songs bass loud boomy boom boom precision and pace. Boom start boom stop. Ported sub cannot tight bass do that. Submersive can or ED A7-900 no problem that to do. When you listering to it, bass tight shakes floor and face your.

Logit, I am damn worried now after watching the video you post... everything in the house vibrates

Boss, that's at insane vol (I guess). I had never crabk mine up to -10dB. At -14dB, it is 'yelling' for more space in my HT room. The build-up pressure is definitely insane.

Just ask anfiledude abt it when we tested the Kung Fu Panda's wushu finger hold scene and DH4.0's tunnel scene.

i know ED A7-900 also Ported not sealed subwoofer
ohh PB13-Ultra cannot tight bass ok how about cover plug ported three block still cannot tight bass ???

Taukeh, don't dismantle your set up first.

Added on January 10, 2010, 11:02 pmNot enuff power to booom boom pow in sealed mode only 750w on PB13.
Logit pls get Paradigm

This post has been edited by ronaldjoe: Jan 10 2010, 11:02 PM

paradigm very to much expensive
i take PB13 Ultra two so be 2X 750W total = 1500Watts

Just want to ask a very noob question cause totally unfamiliar with speaker/sub woofer thing:

Why McIntosh XRT1K ($35,000 each ) or XRT2K ($40,000 each ) so expensive?



McIntosh XRT1K



McIntosh XRT2K

wow very expensive that speaker no need it

I tot you would not even touch SVS? htkaki manage to convert you?

ya i can't go htkaki house i need test hehe i at penang

That's misconception.

With 2 x 13-Ultra at the front, you are getting +6dB more output. Never get will you double loudness. Paradigm expensive not lah since budget got you at USD50K.

No worries, just means you have to go to his shop to listen in future (instead of the house).

he doesn't have to... ronaldjoe should have one pb13ultra at home by now ?

bro jchong... when's urs coming?

This post has been edited by ronnt88: Jan 11 2010, 11:20 AM

2x PB13-Ultra i can put placement front left corner 1st PB13-ultra and front right corner 2nd PB13-Ultra

if i get 2x PB13-Ultra still no good ??? i naver tell u my budget USD50K haha
i know ED A7-900 also Ported not sealed subwoofer
ohh PB13-Ultra cannot tight bass ok how about cover plug ported three block still cannot tight bass ???

This post has been edited by logit85: Jan 11 2010, 11:29 AM

but u told me RM200k

but i don't think u can afford shat!!!!

This post has been edited by ronnt88: Jan 11 2010, 11:28 AM

wrong u forget it maybe my budget RM50K OR RM70K not subwoofer price
i need buy AVreceiver and Front speakers and center and rear and 2 subwoofer that to much alot home theater system

RM or rupees?

just RM lah malaysia i at penang rupees = india that not is

aiyaya, confused me made statement by above.

Last time, you open declare that music only listering you. So, us of all thought music and movie no that mentioned you. Now, you typed want av receiver, front spkrs, center and rear. That one is movie mah. Errrr. which is which lah?

If tamil song only listering, then better hi-fi setup to go. Av not suitable for listering music. Just buy good a preamp+power amp
, cd transport, DAC and a good loudspeakers pair. Then, add Paradigm Sub25. RM50K enough sure. Big tight bass offers Paradigm Sub25 even PB13-Ultra able not acheive.

logi ur z5500 die liaw ha? boom boom pow till amp melt?

penang which part at?

listering music songs also can 5 speakers because my z-5500 5.1 i playing songs i see all speakers also can playing front and rear and center also works sound for songs music i just set 6 channel direct analog
av receiver also can multichannel stereo so be powerfull nice
i dont like hi-fi setup 2 speakers only bad hehe
2x PB13-Ultra i can put placement front left corner 1st PB13-ultra and front right corner 2nd PB13-Ultra
if i get 2x PB13-Ultra still no good ??? i naver tell u my budget USD50K haha
i know ED A7-900 also Ported not sealed subwoofer
ohh PB13-Ultra cannot tight bass ok how about cover plug ported three block still cannot tight bass ???
no need preamp+power amp no need i think batter AV Receiver
Paradigm Sub25 to much expensive i realy need two subwoofer for louder tight bass

Penang Street Georgetown

Even with port blocks, 13-Ultra still a ported sub design by. Ported sub shakes easy whole house but pace and tightness seales sub win. Ported = movie watching. Sealed = music listering

You better get ur sub asap.... Jan 30 is Thaipusam, need loud loud music
