My only concern is whether SB12 has enough depth and output for HT use. I did consider it before when looking for a sealed design but from reviews it might not be powerful enough for HT. Hence my search led me to the Rythmik F15.

If can wait, wait for the new 13" or 16" sealed models then decide although I think they will be quite a bit more expensive.

Your Rythmik F15 is quite good with sealed design and servo feedback. The price is not bad compare to SVS. So far, had you compare the sub to any other brand such as Velo SPL1200 or SVS PC-12 or PB-12?

If you want to use Pure Direct and still utilizing sub, run your speaker out from amp to your sub first, set the sub to cut at freq you intended such as 80hz, then connect speaker out from sub to your main speaker.

Some of the settings can be consider is to run your L,R at full range, set subwoofer to none, then run the L,R speaker out to your sub, use your sub 80hz cut-off, then run speaker out from your sub to main speaker. This method would be useful if you don't want to shift your connection everytime you want to watch movie or listen to music in Pure Audio mode.

I think to be fair, running biz is to earn money too. So, if you don't like the price, then drive to Sg and get a unit directly there and try your luck to bypass the ketam. If I'm getting the PC unit, just put it in the trunk and throw away the box. Pretend it is like ah beng very geng sub for car pre-install in Malaysia. My brother is in Sg so might get his help to get a unit for PC-13Plus. Looking to dual sub with my DD-12. May ask him to ship from Singapore written down as used unit and lower price invoice. Too lazy to drive all the way to Singapore -- Penang.

If you check the Singapore pricing compare to US direct ship to Malaysia without the tax, it cost almost the same so if you manage to to bypass ketam, you would save around RM 1800 in tax (-RM 300 for petrol and toll + 1 day lost). Time to propose to your HM your next holiday trip is driving to Singapore (- the kid) to make space for the sub thumbup.gif

Another route I might take is get a subwoofer kit for F15 and get a local carpenter to make the box for me. This would be the cheapest way to get my second sub.

Put it in this way, if you don't like the price, you can pick other brand. It's not that SVS is the only good sub.

You talk like you know business inside out but your arguement shows otherwise.  Being a dealer you order in bulk which is cheaper and you don't send via airfreight but by sea container which is very much cheaper.  That should give them plenty of room to factor in their profits and yet keep the price reasonable. 

Having a dealer in this regent is not always a good thing.  Just look at Denon in malaysia where there is only one dealer and the price is like sky high compare to a few years back.  There should be multiple dealership for healthy competition that will benefits the consumer.

SVS should at least let the customer have a choice of dealer or order direct from SVS.

You got a point here that purchase in bulk is cheap but if you know how dealership work in Malaysia and Singapore, they never will sell you cheap. They will try at certain price point. If the demand is good, they will raise the price for next revision of product. They getting cheap doesn't means we get it cheap.

If the grand launching of SVS in Malaysia had at least 10% discount, then I'm interested in getting PC13-Ultra.

PB 13 and PC 13 apart from cylinder and box differences, is the sound quality the same? I read in some forum mention PB a few db higher output from PC, is this true?
