I agree with u totally! Suppose to be cheap & value for money sub...........but now becum very poisonous sub instead! Aiyah! MONEY NOT ENOUGH!!! Anybody up-grading to that awesome SVS???? I don't mind getting a really 'cheap' sub I am sure everybody in this tread have a better sub then my lousy Roger!!!

I'm still very afraid of my 10R. Never pass 50% of the volume. How could you live with that....and that is a really honest question. I bet that thing will scare shit out of me...or could shattered my glass sliding door

Its super cool by the way. Congrats on your purchase

Cheap sub good bass has turned into the dark side... Hell, should I just forget about the CHT-12R or SW250 and go straight to that SVS, one time pain in the account? Damn now I can't get that cylinder out of my head. It's all you guys fault...

callmevil,
Mind if I ask how much is the shipping cost?

Yes u should.. the sw250 is nothing compared to this cylinder.. ive demoed it.. and with this things, u know u wont have to upgrade it anytime soon
as for shipping mine was quoted

380USD for door 2 airport
660USD for door 2 door

but. I am sure it is much cheaper if ur shipping to east msia as the route stops in KL airport before it reach Brunei. Jack28ht got it for below 300USD door 2 door when he got his svs. another user Dirtrun also got svs but im not sure how much his shipment cost.

Just send them an email and ask them how much to send a speaker to ur area (just give ur address), and they will get back to u on it. The staff of SVS are Very nice ppl

Congrats on your new vibrating bolster Callmevil! (I hope you're not married ).

Yup, I was quoted for less than $300 too from SVS.

Guys, at around RM2k, the Velodyne CHT-10R can be considered cheap sub, good bass. Now those monsters like REL, SVS, Paradigm Servo and Velodyne SPL/DD series are in the category expensive sub, excellent bass.

Ha! Ha! Ya... I think you all are getting crazy over bass. Hey... there are more than sub in any movie la. Kekekeke...

Anyway, that is a nice SVS. Really would love to test it out and see what is so great about it compared to any normal cheap sub good bass subs.

Well, I guess my new CHT12R will be more than enough. When tested it in A&L, their plster ceiling already trembling. I don'twant my plaster ceiling to follow and got cracks all over after 1 week. He! He! He!

GREAT SVS ... !

This one... during the AVFest, CMY was offering me at RM900... kekeke... Didn't buy.

But I didn't know the performance. So, didn't buy. I guess I still prefer Valodyne... Kekeke....

TThe AudioPro looks a bit small if u ask me. 8"....

Waaaa....RM900 is consider cheap already.......New unit..then fine.....if look at the spec....if compare the velo..then the price also 2x times la

djdyks, have you try to audit the unit

I went to an AV shop this afternoon and the owner introduced me this Velodyne SPL-1200, costs at around RM8800 (forgot the exact figure). If compare with the SVS PC-Ultra, which one gives more punch in movies?

A dude at the AVS forum tested a whole bunch of subwoofers and then rated and ranked them. Check out the rankings below. The PB13 Ultra, the box version of the PC13 Ultra is several rungs above the Velodyne DD-18 which I belive blows the SPL-1200 right out of the water

ok.. i have just spent a good hour calibrating my speakers / sub (1st time doing this since i bought them), didnt know it could be complicate for beginners.. ok.. so again i used cloverfield to test.. i just skipped to intense scene.. the difference is unbelievable haha.. so for anyoen who havent calibrate their speakers.. PLEASE DO! u dont know what ure missing! i had to reduce my movie volume from 0db down to -5db now..

ok now.. 1 question to sifus.. why do i feel exhausted.. like seriously exasperated after listening to intense BASS + effect?? when i say effect.. the svs rumbles my whole room until every building demolishing scene in cloverfield made me feel like i am RIGHT there... is this some placebo effect??? but i find myself kinda gasping for air when the scene is done.. and now i am exhausted.. and feel a bit scared.. haha

help?

Do u have symptoms of palpitation, sweating, rapid breathing? That could be symptoms of anxiety.

palpitation yes.. sweating no.. breathing long and weak... freaky man~~ feels like im tripping..

Yes, i been to CMY to check out the AudioPro Sub PS175
Can't compare coz i nvr heard the Velo before.
However ... the AudioPro comes with some interesting features ... auto switch off after 30 mins of non signal detected and auto turn on if signal detected again (save u the hassle of walking forth and back turning it on and off) ... AceBass amplifier (their own in-house thingy) ...
I was sitting right in front of the sub with the port facing at me, yet i can't hear the bass comes from it. However once the volume level turn down, the whole room was without bass at all. The power is quite menacing ... i tested it till half the volume level only, and playing around with the low pass level.

FYI, i was told that the designer of AudioPro speakers / subs is in-fact the 1st person to invent subwoofers while he was 16 yrs old ... now he 40yrs ++
The sub manufactured in Sweden ... AudioPro started biz with doing sub 1st !
Honestly its a good thing at that price range ... poisoning myself ... gotta check out a few more first before deciding !

dude how do u calibrate ur speakers? my avr got no auto calibrate function..so any tips on how to set it correctly?

Thanks for that link, arj. It does help a lot.

And this statement below...damn, makes me wanna click on the "buy now" button at their website immediately. That's how a subwoofer should be eh, to make the listener feel like he is right in the action. Now waiting for the shipping quote from SVS, hopefully everything will turn out smooth...

I used this thing called "SPL Meter". i got it from the svs website (free shipment with a sub purchase)

theres alot of guide online on how to do this. but if ur lost just send me a pm here and ill give u step by step guide hehe basically its just making sure every speaker in ur room (including the sub) is outputting the SAME or As similar as possible volume to the listening position.. meaning, say ure SL is further from ur SR, calibrating would determine just how much stronger should ur SL be outputing so that itll equal the sound coming from ur SR..

i set all my speakers at the recommended 75db and my sub at 80db.. hehehe

Good luck Hian!! hope u get it through, then we can have more screenshot poison for SVS ! hahaha Gambate~~~!

that AudioPro sound can never match the 12R....tested b4 i go for the 12R...for small room still ok....but for medium size room...u just don't feel the punch....

bro actually svs entry level is just a tiny bit more than velodyne cht series.. and with longer warranty period.. n definately goes lower.. so i think its worth considering and its also considered an affordable sub... pb10nsd is only usd430+ shipping (assuming)usd220=usd650 x3.25=rm2112.5 then plus some coffee fees rm400 .. nett price is around rm2500 .. i bought pb12nsd nett below rm3k but that time usd was the lowest..
So dont be affraid to consider or try internet direct brands like hsu or svs u get more value...
