...by the way my original Tundra comment in case you missed it is related to perceived reliability. Toyota/Lexus are supposed to be the most reliable car brands on the market and even them from time to time have "Lemons". SVS to me so far has been very reliable with amazing performance to price...

Well good luck, the Lexus LX 600 use the same engine that you'll find in the Tundra ans Sequoia. Make sure you take it to the dealer for every scheduled maintenance. Toyota(Lexus) have a problem in their hands with this engine with a lot of catastrophic failures requiring in most cases full...

My neighbor have a Toyota Tundra 2023 and it blew the engine at 8k miles.

Look closely at the driver they are using, even with 500w the are limiting the output to prevent damage to the woofer. The woofer in use here have no place in a $1800.00 subwoofer; I'm sure that if an amplifier of 1000W is used it will overdrive the speaker and even damage it. The REL Predator...

I notby any means an expert on phono preamps. I'm curious mainly with the High frequency filters. You state that the low frequency filters cut 12 db at 8hz and 24 db at 4hz. but you mention High Frequency cuts a 10, 7, 5k hz with variable slopes. My question is: what are the specific slopes at...

Great performance, it should make the right customer happy. I just think at almost 7K it's a really tough sell. I can basically buy 3 SVS SB16-Ultra and still have some money left for a nice steak dinner. The SVS it's highly adjustable and you can set it up from your phone with the SVS app...

I'm sure these are excellent speakers, but at almost 2X the price over the ones reviewed here. I wonder if this is an example of diminished expectations. How much of an improvement are these; it begs the question: will we be able to tell the difference? Hey, opting for the supercharged model of...

I think you're are in the wrong forum, this is about audio not politics or conspiracy theories.

...and I bet that if the article was written with the opposite political point of view you would be requesting a raise for the writer. (P.S. good thing you aren't Gene)

You're right by my numbers roughly 32% greater volume. I have the room and location for that size increase. So with that part of the equation settled lets talk about performance and here the PB 3000 is over 10db ahead down low (20-30hz) and still 2-4db in the midbass. I won't even mention the...

I tend to agree with you; in the other hand at the asking price there're so many options with far better performance. Just to mention 2; SVS and Monolith offerings have options that are $400-$800 less and will blow this thing out of the water performance wise. The SVS PB3000 with an enclosure...

I'm sure this subwoofer will make happy those that seek that "musicality" factor and they probably will talk about "speed" and "attack time" and a lot of bogus terms that in the real word means nothing, only in their heads. I think that the sense of "speed" have to do with small subs and some...

...well my personal values in this case are very much in line with my cost values and @$1900 I fail to see the value proposition. Technically this should be more than enough for my listening room that is about 3600 ft3 but I blame ShadyJ(lol) he removed the driver and it was just disappointing...

I'm in the market for a subwoofer and when found this review was really happy since this subwoofer was on my short list of options. It did a good show but for $1900 I was expecting more and I know measured numbers won't tell the hole story. I listened before REL subwoofers and like them but also...

Again, you might be right but I assuming here that the typical customer for these are stereo "audiophiles" with an audio room full of high-end stuff like McIntosh amps, stupid expensive cables(snake oil) and maybe a power conditioner more expensive than a house down payment like one of those...

I understand what you're saying but it just doesn't make sense to spend $7k on speakers to pair with a receiver. A lot high price tag receivers have 4 ohms power ratings still I wouldn't never use one with speakers like this.

Hmmmm...tempting! I really like the look of the Arendal towers they seem to be built to last although truth to be told I never had any speakers failing on me.

Well the 1723 monitors are bookshelf speakers, very big bookshelf speakers indeed but still a different category. I will say that the r700 are more direct competitors with the 1723 S tower. You can check the review of the r700 here in Audioholics, that was what convinced me to audition them. The...

Thanks Shady! I read your review on the Philharmonic and they are amazing speakers but currently @3900 plus shipping above of my budget. I can get the R700 for $1900 a pair for example and willing to pay more for the Martin Logan for the WAF. Also I will be driving the speakers with my Yamaha...

I agree; sometimes we focus to much on the technical data and forget that with audio equipment we need to trust our ears. Eleven years ago was the last time I was in the market for speakers. I was set on a B&W bookshelf speaker that have rave reviews but to me the sound was a little too soft on...
