Ed Mullen joined SVS in 2006 to head a separate new Directorate of SVS Customer Service. He was a much respected reviewer.

The funny thing about SVS subs (I've heard two different models now - the sonic signature is very similar) is that your initial impression will be "where did all that boomy mid bass go?". These subs are very flat through the mid bass range (60-30) with none of the usual emphasis at 35-40 Hz that many sub makers deliberately build in to hide the fact that their subs have no real bottom end. This lack of mid bass bloom allows the sub to blend beautifully with the mains and it remains very neutral and undetected until the source material calls for it.


This is what I like about my PC-12Plus. Flat with no 'spike' unlike my CHT-12R. Beautiful!

Anyone want to buy my 12R once I order my SVS. I don't think I can shit with all the bass in my small toilet.

This was what I heard when I bought back my sub.
I was like "WTH" why doesn't it rumble and shake the whole house.
Don't worry about it, such a fussy person like me .. you'll love it by time.

It's like in camouflage, you're not sure if it's running or not and it'll just surprise you when it kicks in.
I guess when the source wants you to really feel it, you will.

That's why everyone looking for a flat response curve in a sub. The sub really did 'disappear'. I am glad that you finally got it after many calls, e-mails and frantic SOS signals wink.gif

lightning69, not trying to poison you. But, CHT-12R will be blown miles apart by PC-12Plus (not a fair comparison, I knew). SPL-1200R is near it but still can dig the low enough with tight bass.

As you said not a fair comparison since the PC12+ is twice the price (or more) of the CHT-12R. Everything has a price and relative value and if I paid twice more for something new, the new thing better outperform the old one!

In all this talk about sub performance I think we often don't mention the price factor.

My first impression on the PC12+ when I was at htkaki room was 'WOW' that thing is huge and tall.
Test kung fu panda and iron man and yes the SVS trademark is there where you can fell the deep bass produced by this beast.
Cant wait to order mine as I'm now 'subless'.
