just received a reply from Emotiva after about 3 days. their sub is 120V and no 240V version tongue.gif not sure if using a step down transformer will "hurt" the output of the sub... anyways, still waiting for SVS SB series to launch here. hopefully can get a demo in penang from htkaki smile.gif

As I said BEFORE, it's not going to happen in Penang sweat.gif  Holding a demo is not a cheap affair and to transport these giants and moving it around is no easy task.

We are focusing in this year KLIAV show. Prior to the KLIAV, we will be advertising in NST too. Please take a flight to KL come July 23-25  smile.gif Credit card payment is available  wink.gif

haha! i know this sub is rather good but am a newbie in regards to tuning a sub for best effect with my SR6003. any step 1-2-3 guidance anfieldude?

here's what i've listened to before deciding on item#5.
1. Velo DD-12 (the BEST!) drool.gif
2. Velo CHT-12Q (bass not tight nor impactful enuf)
3. Paradigm DSP-3400 (better than CHT-12Q... a little)
4. Earthquake Mini-me 12 (not much bass..??)
5. Sunfire HRS-12 (rather close to DD series but not as omphh!) thumbup.gif
6. Polk (forgot which model but i think it's a 10".... not good)

htkaki,

If I remember correctly, the one I auditioned was a 8 inch Sunfire HRS Sub. It was darn small but heavy for its size. Sound wise, it's considered clean for a small sealed sub. Only one drawback, perhaps due to its size, the sub tend to 'dance' around when the bass is too low...perhaps the bigger one would not have such problem. I guess it's due to its weight and the power it could deliver....Other than that, it's not bad at all.

the HRS-12 is rather heavy for its size.... and nope... it's not dancing around. it rattled my one of my kitchen cabinet door though... thinking of a way to fix that now tongue.gif any help with placing this sub??

i've read reviews that HRS-12 was compared to the likes of JL Fathom although i haven't audition this b4.

looks like u are setting this up mainly for movies. with that kind of budget, u can get a Velodyne CHT-12Q... should be sufficient for your movie needs
