QUOTE(lightning69 @ Sep 30 2009, 11:20 AM) Regarding the 220V certification, I would say that is just plain bullshit from SVS. IF you read the AVS forum, SVS have got their 220V certification long ago when they started to ship to Europe and nothing was mentioned about the steep fees they pay for that. Again why hefty fee on 220V certification when 220V is like a norm in half of the globe? Its just an excuse for SVS to charge more. When the first group of Malaysian including me order the SVS, we all were not charge any extra for 220V certification so why now? Not to mention the Singaporeans neighbour have been order SVS sub long before us and never were there any mention or 220v certification fee. In fact they got bulk order discount. Like I said SVS have got the 220V certification to export it long ago.  Now that part I agree with u bro. They never charged me when I ordered the pb10 back in 2007 and also with the current one. Its either something to do with UK regulation or else ???Then again I might be wrong.  Cheers. |

You guys are fast in jumping guns. I am using 'could be', 'will' and 'might'. For the records, I did say that I will gather more info. Probably my written Engrund s**ks.
Must enlist sifu arremie's help.

If he can offers that price, it is better that I quit and let him do. Why all the hassles?  This post has been edited by htkaki: Sep 30 2009, 01:55 PM |

Htkaki...i'm so sorry if I offended you. I really did not intend that to happen. I am just asking questions regarding why suddenly the 220V surcharge now by SVS.
Ron did wrote emails to me regarding that but i think that is just an excuse. My argument being that why other country like Europe that is running on 220V which SVS have been exporting have not such issue. Remember SVS have been exporting their sub to 220v countries for many years now.
The other thing is imagine that there a lots of electrical component coming from US like Iphone etc that use 220v too but where is the hefty fee for certification on them?
Once again I'm deeply sorry if my concern hurt you in anyway.

So you are the one, eh? I would not go into a debate of this anymore as I feel that it see no end to it. Better to use the bandwidth to share our experience with SVS subwoofers and settings. Peace This post has been edited by htkaki: Sep 30 2009, 03:07 PM |

Regarding the 220V issue, this is the first time I'm hearing about it. Anyway, let htkaki clarify this with SVS first then we'll get an update.
I would have thought SVS did obtain 220V certification some time ago. Perhaps they did not since the volume of 220V subs sold was smaller in the past. Now that it is getting more popular and they have more local dealers in 220V countries perhaps it is now time to get 220V certification. This is just my speculation.

I check back my email from Ron and the 220V surcharge is a whopping 25% for certification! I just don't quite why such a big amount just for certification and that apply to each and every SUB!!! |

There's always something like "i got it cheaper, there".
What we need is just a reliable source and have the confidence that my goods will be alright, if something should go wrong, there's someone to get it fixed.
So see those who are going this Saturday. I've not met much yet in this forum.
Htkaki, do we get a name tag like high school reunion?

I know that certification can be very expensive (depending on how many certs you want) but that is quite a large jump still. That means those interested in SVS better get them sooner rather than later. |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Sep 30 2009, 01:04 AM) Did your father own this place? diick! You so piss because you end up paying so much more but that ain't my fault. Our silly gov't took your money. I am simply doing a conversion to see how much it cost over there. bro lighting i think most ppl here get irritated by u coz u have been repeating( or should i say Bhaskaring or logiteching) n complaining abt the same thing here.. i know u have the right to complain but repeating your rm3800 price here is useless.. htkaki has declared that he wont be doing dodgy stuff so when u keep reminding every1 how cheap svs is in UK,US and your magic number rm3800 ppl get annoyed coz u very well it is impossible to get anywhere near their price.. |
