okie, get it. will pay visit to there later time. thanks

Old doesn't mean it's not better. CHT-R series are still in production. the SPL series are even older I believe.

You need to look at the specs, like Htkaki said, the Impact is the new entry level series from Velodyne. Hence the lower price.

hahaha.. survey around 1st then only decide it...

Seriously, I wont hesitate to part money for Fathom f113 if I have the moolah to splurge.

Then again, my setup wont be the current 'affordable' setup that I am having now.

How is it like compare to Velodyne DD15??? Almost the same price, I think the Velodyne just slightly more expansive.

Based on craigsub's ranking .. DD15 should be a no match for Fathom since even DD18 is ranked lower than Fathom113... the rankings is based only on performance only... so the looks doesnt count here... to see how the scoring works read the link http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=768150

huhu look@#3.. considering my room size vs sub ratio.. i think im getting as much fun as i would with the ultra.. nyeh nyeh nyeh but i will deff get the ultra ones i get a bigger room..

hehehe.....those guys at svs definitely know what is BASS..........
i am very happy with my "cylinder"

Wow! Another SVS owner! Mind telling me how much u bought? Is it troublesome ordering it online??? Have a very nice day!

REL Strata (used) is selling for RM1.5k.

http://hifi4sale.blogspot.com/

Don't know anyhting about this model, not sure it's comparable to Strata II. Maybe Htkaki can help.

with the kind of customer support ppl at SVS.. my online experience was a breeze~~ and mind u Brunei is an unknown country to them.. haha

Yes! U r so lucky, ordering online in Brunei is a breeze! But I wander how it is like to do that in Sarawak???

Just write an email to SVS, the manager himself will reply to you. He will help you anyway he can.

He replied to all my emails, no matter how small the question is. Their customer service is one of the best I've experienced, so sad I did not end up buying.

saw some pic on the cylinder and the mesurement... think the size can b larger then my floorstanding...

bro no doubt svs is very helpful.. but the problem lies on our customs.. if u wanna pay full tax so that our country can buy more submarines and build more university that your son cant get into then it would be a breeze... but if u prefer to get some discounts then it depends on your luck.. 9 out of 10 officers would give u a discount at a agreed price.. sometimes it worth it .. sometimes its not.. depends on your luck

That's why I didn't finalize my order. Paying tax is one thing, but the hassle of going to Sepang to get it cleared is what really stopped me.

My respect to you bro that you survived the process.

cant starscream this arr?

Bro, this is a really 'vintage' sub. I knew abt Strata III, which is abt a decade old. I would give it a miss as old sub tend to run out of puff.

thx bro..in terms of spec CHT series is better, can see that from the weight of the sub and the material used..spec too..i do like the CHT-12
taking $$$ into account, i ended up wit impact 12

AV123 MFW-15 ($599 ID): 103 points (53-50)


so the BEST VALUE sub will be the AV123.....rank #8
