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

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

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. nod.gif

I've downloaded the manual from their website last week, just gave it a quick read as generally not too much different to my old receiver. biggrin.gif

Eh, the 10R is peasant sub... You'll need at least 12R to be to get the elite-o-meter to work. laugh.gif

I'm seeing people discussing SVS Ultra, REL Strata II, Paradigm Servo 15 here. Now those are Level 8-9 in the elite-o-meter reading. notworthy.gif

how do you let the amp control the crossover? Its in the amp setting?


Added on October 12, 2008, 10:28 pmwhat is the name of the cable that use for sub woofer again? I think i am gonna change the position to another side of the wall and the length of it is about 7m long. Will the long cable affect the bass quality?
*
Yes, almost all AV receivers have this setting. This will have the subwoofer do all the low frequencies instead of the speakers (unless you have full-range/band speakers, although you can still use subwoofer for double bass production). So crossover the low frequencies that your speakers can't handle, usually around 10Hz over. THX recommends at 80Hz but it still depends on your own preference but never lower then the speakers capability.


QUOTE(bsl555 @ Oct 13 2008, 12:31 AM)
I'm not in favor of signal cables to be longer than 3 meters. We're talking millivolts and I'm sure there's some signal degradation for 7 meters length.
*
Agreed. That's why it's really tricky, sometimes you have to put the subwoofer far away to get the best results. sweat.gif

No problem bro. I still use the 10". For entry level, it's powerful enough for me, imagine those with the 12"! notworthy.gif

Velodyne is the specialist subwoofer maker, they don't make anything else, not even speakers. biggrin.gif

Wah, now you're using Velodyne too ar? It will make you forget the trouble with the AE, and enjoy the real boom! rclxms.gif

Tun Mega, I got the KEF for center only, the fronts still MA. Can't afford the floorstanders yet. sweat.gif

Go to www.svsound.com or visit Callmevil in Brunei. biggrin.gif

I almost ordered it few months ago, but due to budget cutdown had to settle for the Velodyne instead. sweat.gif

We share the same center speaker. been using it for > 2 yrs now. very nice. back then, it was htkaki that prompted me to get a center. some bs about "linking" the left and right fronts. hahaha .... joking joking. no regrets.

yours is walnut finish?

Can get walnut color in Malaysia? They told me only got dark apple and cherry. I'm actually looking for walnut, dark apple is the closest because my fronts are walnut (not KEF). What color is yours?

Servo 15? Fuyoo... But, those who loves solid punchy bass might not like Servo 15 as it leans toward musicality. It is indeed powerful.

I knew a place to audition this Mama sub. Mega, interested or not? Can audition SPL-1200R and Servo 15  brows.gif  (taruk poison extra kaw) tongue.gif

My house will collapsed with the Servo 15. sweat.gif

I noticed ever since I use the Onkyo 875, my Velodyne is more punchy even in movie mode. hmm.gif

I remember with my previous Yamaha V1800, if I choose movie mode, it is less punchy, but more low grunts and delays. But it was too much so I choose other mode instead.

So an AVR does affect the LFE channel. I'm using the same QED Qunex SR-SW.

need to ask the gurus, in my Denon amp there is this setting for Woofer which is LFE or LFE+Main.
what setting should i decide and base on what ?
*
I guess it's the same setting as "Both" in Yamaha, and "Double Bass" in Onkyo.

My advise is to use the "LFE+Main" only if you have a full range/band front speakers. It means the crossover setting will not be applied to the front speakers, and if there's a LFE channel it will be sent to both the front speakers and the subwoofer.

For Onkyo, you can even select the "Double Bass" if your fronts not set as "Full Band".
