QUOTE(TrynRex @ Oct 12 2009, 07:39 PM) Just curious, what make the SVS so special that most ppl like it that much? Izit bcos it can go low Hz (as i read comparison with others in reviews)? If yes, how often does a movie have low Hz eg. below 20Hz? Sorry for noob question. it is quite often for new movies to have sub 20hz signal... ppl like svs coz it can go low hz in high spl thus filling the av room n creating that steam feeling overseas ppl like it even more coz for the cheap price it really does make movie watching more fun.. but over here coz our tax is so high, the price doesnt look like a budget sub anymore This post has been edited by mys_terious: Oct 13 2009, 01:19 AM

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Oct 13 2009, 04:00 AM) Yep, fully agree. Actually I don't quite understand how the SVS could cost so much more in malaysia. The tax is only 25% but SVS product cost almost 65% more in Malaysia as compare to US. Where is the other 40% hike comes from? By mentioning this will make me very unpopular in here. Just too bad. Added on October 13, 2009, 4:03 amI remember i read in another forum where someone ask the question "Is SVS sun really that good?" All i can say is "yes". I just hope this thing can be price closer to the US so more people can enjoy it. lets not start this again ok.. i am one of those guys who compares and complain abt the price in malaysia.. but lets be fair ok.. DO u know the price for 12nsd, plus and 13 ultra door to door using bax global to kl .. if u dont then go and get a quote.. get your facts n stop misleading other ppl.. on 2nd thought i rest my case This post has been edited by mys_terious: Oct 13 2009, 09:09 AM

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Oct 13 2009, 09:37 AM) The number I used was lower than that at still it did not add up to 65%, I'm not sure where that comes from. The numbers quoted so far, for me are reasonable, as it includes local warranty... i can say that htkaki's door to door price is ok.. i am comparing his price with factory direct bax global door to door price... lets not compare his price with brunei, sg or smuggled price.. and pls dont compare with door to airport price too coz we r not required to pick up our sub from the airport if we buy from him:)... U can complain abt the tax, freight cost n the weak RM though but lets not try to give an impression that the local svs agent is charging 40% MORE THAN HE SHOULD

QUOTE(htkaki @ Oct 13 2009, 11:14 AM) There is a certain build-up pressure that is a bit too powerful for me (uncle)  Hard to describe it. Maybe have to ask ar188, arremie, hseingloong, megatron007, and chinmh to come over and feel it  At -16dB only. For you, sure you'll Oh yes, the 12-NSD is very good for LFE too. IMHO, nothing beats it in that range. In fact, wongkn of hifi4sale.net is being impressed by it. Being a pioneer and audiophile, he sang praises for it. Hope to see more 12-NSD users  Not bring in 10nsd?

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Oct 13 2009, 10:08 PM) Why compare to D2D price? D2D uses the most expensive air freight services. There is a thing call sea cargo that is many times cheaper and is the most common way importer use to import things. If you are smart enough you won't be fool to compare with the most expensive but rather with the most reasonable transport cost. Added on October 13, 2009, 10:10 pmThis are the people who talk out of their aSSS. how abt u tell me how much does it cost to bring a pc13ultra in using sea freight with insurance to your kampung .. oh no i 4got u r just predicting the cost .. u have not have a clue how much does it cost and havent checked anything abt seafreight.... pls do your homework n stop your kopitiam style talk.. i am comparing door to door coz the price htkaki is selling is door to door.. he is definately not selling door to brunei or door to sg.. bythe way i am no fool coz i bought my 13 ultra tax free.. but i am not so stupid to use my tax free price to compare with htkaki's price.. and i am not interested in announcing the price i bought in the forum everyday and think that i am the smartest guy on earth coz it is NO BIG DEAL.. so yeah i would like to see the cheap sea freight u r quoted for 1 unit of 13 ultra to either your kampung, kl or pg port... for once u might be able to contribute to this forum.. enlighten us so we can enjoy cheap sea freight.. .. just to give u a hint.. the trucking cost from svs ohio to the port alone will shock u.. i would like to apologise if i am not 'smart enough' to communicate with u.. boy this is harder than Bhaskar This post has been edited by mys_terious: Oct 13 2009, 10:54 PM

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Oct 13 2009, 10:58 PM) Excuse me...go back the last few days and tell me where did i mention about the price I pay for my sub. I did mention it long time ago but never did i use it to compare to local price. My comparison to local price is with US price and those include tax!!! Even with the tax it too high. i dont see your the numbers of your cheap sea freight yet.. get proper quotation n numbers 1st .. very hard to communicate with u when u r Bhaskaring

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Oct 13 2009, 11:11 PM) Maybe you can to explain how air frieght courrier service can ever be cheaper than sea freight, then I will give you the numbers. SVS is famous for charging ridiculous amount for shipping. The last time the quote me Fedex of more than US$1000  i did explain it already u refused to listen.. sea freight is only cheaper when u get the whole container.. loose cargo is expensive.. if u dont believe then just go and get a quote.. or get a few quotes.. stop being a kopitiam uncle and keep thinking seafreight is cheap.. there r port charges.. trucking fee .. hidden costs until u get the full quote.. i think if u provide us the cheap sea freight quote that u have been talking abt then all of us would will be behind u to fight for cheaper svs in malaysia.. lets say u get 20 units of 13 ultra u will surely save quite some money.. NOT FROM SHIPPING but from avoiding tax.. htkaki stated clearly right from the begining he doesnt want any illegal stuff involve.. There are other brands that are sold at simlar price with svs in overseas n when it reaches malaysia it became alot cheaper than svs.. WHY?.. very simple..IF U R SMART ENUF some ppl bring their stuff in in volume, they bring the whole container in and some ppl prefer to underdeclare their goods.. there r many ways to keep the cost down.. i feel very sorry for ppl lik u thats y i am trying my best to explain to u now that svs has nothing to do with Fedex giving u expensive quotes.. get the shipping dimension n weight of the speakers n call up Fedex, tell them u wanna send from Ohio to your kampung n c see it the quote they give u is more what svs quote u Then u can start accusing svs for giving expensive quotes i have tried my best to prevend u from keep making a fool out of yourself n will not respond to u anymore.. i hope u will get well soon, if u dont then i hope u seek medical help soon This post has been edited by mys_terious: Oct 14 2009, 09:04 AM

QUOTE(HT Freak @ Oct 26 2009, 10:04 PM) Agree with you. Now SVS is not affordable item like last time anymore. And now with this EQ,i also notice SVS buyer need to spend another extra 3k+ for the EQ. Now it meant for the ELITE only. bro just to let u know svs door to door price now is still similar to the price last time.. its just that last time u have the choice to send door to airport.. depends on where u stay in malaysia.. some places u save some money for door to airport... but u have to go thru all the trouble.. n need to drive your sub on your own.. maybe take 1 day leave for that.. if u r lucky u might have the chance to pay less tax by paying some coffee money but u wont save too much on tax coz the buayas all quite hungry at the airport.. i have bought two svs using door to airport and i can tell u honestly the door to door price is similar to the door to door price last time.. it will only have a big diff in price IF 1) u have some1 working at the airport who can help u 2) special cases where svs gave u a wrong quote and offer u a special discount for delaying your purchase 3) u have some way to bring your sub in illegaly and yes jl is a very good sub and if u can afford it why not.. but if size is not an issue and u dont listen much to music then svs is a better choice.. svs has a 3 year warranty but i am not sure how many years jl offers in malaysia.. try not too look at the amplifier spec too much.. i did not go to the svs event but my guess is if u place the same number of jl sub at the launch venue it will be worse in terms of spl.. but according to all the review it should give u more accurate bass... so yeah it depends on what u r looking for... happy sub hunting

QUOTE(htkaki @ Nov 6 2009, 10:56 AM) At initial stage, nobody thought the incoming 115units of SVS' sub in Oct will be sold off at such short period. In fact, right before the shipment arrives  . It did. So, we shall wait for subsequent shipment in end Nov with enough stocks. The shop is expected to start operation in Jan 2010 with all SVS range to be auditioned and it is abt 2mins drive from the toll.  There will be a small demo room; abt 12' x 19' or so. ID doing the layout. Please drop by with your cash in hand  good to hear there will be a demo room soon.. most svs buyers dont realise the biggest disadvantage we are facing compared to the states is we dont get the 1month money back gurantee.. if no demo room and money back gurantee then paying so much money will be a big risk... with a demo room at least u know roughly how it is going to perform in your home
