I never listen to SPL series b4. but my CHT 15Q is more than enough for my little living room

Poor? I think Taikoh Submersive's neighbour is poorer *lari cepat cepat*

If it is close to RM5K, then it is indeed a big jump there. The SPL1200U will easily outshine it for abt RM1.8K more.

typo prob? no SVS promo... ?

Listened to both of them together. SPL1200 was much better.

This thread is abt Velo lah, boss. So, no SVS talk

How does the 15Q stack up against the SVS NSD series, specifically PC12?

thanks for all the replies. I think I'll seriously go consider the SPL 1200 Ultra then. Appreciate the comments!

Since you asked abt it, I am not too sure as nvr did a side by side comparison.

Anyhow, I do have the CHT-12R FR graph. The 15Q should not be that far off.



And here is PB12-NSD (it is almost similar to PC12-NSD) :




Someone is selling his SPL1200Ultra. If you are interested, pls let me know.

Tuakeh, who? Bryan or HS? Or someone else.
Looking at the graph, SVS NSD wins...but it's just FR graph.
I heard Velo, it's emphasised more on the 'hard bass' side, good on 30-40hz output.
The bass output sounds very hard to me.

May be...it's robin...

hsiengloong if u reading this...it is just what i felt with spl1200. for the price, it doesn't give the feeling that i had with pc13. spl1200 does not has enuf rumble that i like. so for movies i don't prefer spl1200. never listen to 15q before so cant comment much but i bet it's like my 10r but can go lower and rumble more.

all in all spl1200 is one heck of a sub but not to my liking. hopefully pc12+ is up to my liking since peasant like me can't afford pc13

arremie, ronaldjoe is one of the few who had auditioned both PC12+ and PC13-Ultra. Maybe he is able to tell more abt PC12+.

I just texted our taiko HS. He didn't reply me.
He is not back fr HK yet most probably. He still have 10 titles with me.
So I can say 'bad' thing on SPL1200. He won't notice.
Probably he gonna switch camp soon

TS can always test his short-listed subs first before putting his hammer down.

not saying bad things about spl1200 bro. just saying its not my taste. nevertheless it's a great sub

donno when i can make it to mike's pad. been to sapro's a couple of time. very close to my place.

My take is that you prefers ported sub as it is able to rumble and a bit more tactile. Sealed sub runs clean and tight.

Sealed subs meant for stereophiles

stereophiles don't use sub

Better still go for two sub! One ported & one sealed. U want Boom Boom Pow which rumble the ported sub will provided, u want tight ass..........ops I meant tight bass, the sealed sub will provided.

The best of both bass.

Actually, it depends. Most proper floorstanders typically go down to about 40Hz (-3dB). Actual musical instruments (bar the pipe organ) does not really go down that much lower than 30Hz. However, if u combine the floorstanders with a sub u actually will get +3dB down to 25Hz at least. What this gives u in essence is that the low end (<100Hz) boosted up by a few dB. Normally, this is refered as house curve (the typical frequency response curve being flat all the way meaning better). As a matter of preference, there are people who like it this way, that's why a sub to enhance the low frequencies.

I always wonder how would it be evened out with one sealed and one ported sub.

AFAIK, it aint easy and you need to spend a lot of time to experiment.

I am thinking of experimenting it with AS-EQ1 hooking a sealed sub and a ported sub of near similar strength.
