3db;
Please understand I, as well as others (I hope), aren't trying to bash Basshead because of their input, but more so the way they go about it with no justification behind their negative comments and quite often, nothing constructive about their postings.
Here's some examples:
Posting by Giuseppe:
"I have heard a lot of you guys saying that SVS subs are by far the best subs for your $$$. But, I havn't heard many people arguing which are better, the cylinder or the box? Say id you were trying to make more of a movie and games system which style would be better?"
Basshead's response:
"Wouldnt touch any of them,I know better."
Any constructive feedback here
? None that I can find, nor is there any by Basshead later on in the same thread, just what you see.
Posting by ragged:
"What would you prefer? 2 Velodyne vrp-10000's or a single svs pb-10?":
Basshead's response:
"I would pick the velos but look for the 1200 for sure and use y spliter,wouldnt touch svs !"
Any reasoning behind this statement? None to this point. Opinions are fine, in fact I think Velodyne makes a nice subwoofers as well, but it would be nice to quantify your postive or negative statements about product plugs or bashing.
Posting by Giuseppe in another thread:
"Well I was looking at these two subs and found that they are the same price at $899. What I am wondering is why the PB12-PLUS is $899 and has 1 driver, while the PB12-ISD/2 is $899 but has two drivers. Obviously the PB12-PLUS has a better driver, but can it compare to the performance of two woofers??? What would you guys get if you had to choose between these two?"
Basshead's response:
"None of them !"
See first posting's comments for my take on this one as well.
Posting by agarwalro:
"That is the same speaker set and similar room conditions as my setup. Are'nt the M60's awesome.
Also look at the PB-10 ISD by SVS. It has gotten great reviews and is $200 under your budget."
Basshead's response:
"An other unhappy customer,In time every one gets hit."
This response makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, no one in this thread stated they were unhappy with an SVS product, so I'm not sure where this was directed.
(Last one
) Here's a posting by j_garcia in regards to a question about choosing between an Axiom EP350 and the Rocket ULW-10, suggestions between this two or what other alternative they (OP) might consider:
"The 350 actually seems to most often be said not to be a great value. 28Hz isn't very deep for a $650 sub. The ULW is $499, at which point, unless you are in Canada, the SVS PB-10 will probably give you more for your money."
Basshead's response:
"Why are you pushing SVS all the time?,When theres better in canada let alone all the money you will save? Sure they offer return but wait till you see how you get ripped off for 2 times shipping cost you loose shipping fees/gst your money buy back to bank with visa,This will almost cost you a double sub pb10 price."
There was no mention of the orginal poster of them being from Canada (nor does their profile show this), but even so, J goes so far as to specifically point out that "unless you are in Canada, the SVS PB-10 will probably give you more for your money."...
There seems to be nothing productive offered by Basshead's postings and an obvious distain for SVS for whatever reason. Regardless whether I like or dislike SVS, I find it obnoxious that over and over, the same type of behavior is repeated on a site in which shared knowledge (postive and negative) is its greatest asset. If there were a point to Basshead's postings, I could understand, but there doesn't seem to be. Understand that I'm not trying to lynch the guy, just get him to stop the unproductive and baseless bashing of SVS or any company's products, for that matter, without any type of justification. -TD
