I liked PCWeber's posting, not because it had alot of measurements, because it didn't but because it was slightly better than Digibath's. I really wanted to vote for Digibath, but his review was waayy to short, like he through it together at the last minute. I was disappointed. I would have liked some measurements or audio files of PCWeber's review.

My thoughts on the reviews...

- Sluggo: it's a review, not an advertisement
- PCWeber: the most dispassionate of the bunch. Good context information. Well-written.
- Travis: while I understand the desire to provide a context by comparing the SVS to your BIC, I felt as though you spent too much time on the BIC, leaving me feeling that the SVS was under-reviewed.
- DIGITALBATH: I felt you wrote a very nice review (you were a very close second-place choice), but, and I know this is really petty, I just couldn't get past how you tried to spell aesthetics (or, if you prefer, esthetics). It reminded me of a time when I was an undergrad, and one of my comp professors knocked me for having a comma splice in the last sentence of a five-paragraph essay: it's like you got all dressed up in a tuxedo and forgot to do up your zipper. Sorry.
- Marcus: a little brief.

One thing struck me about these reviews: we all have the template for reviews like these fixed firmly in our minds.

I liked PCWeber's review the best. I found Sluggo's to be a bit too informal. PCWeber got to the point and gave me the information and imnages I was looking for. The other's were too short.

Clint/Gene: Is there any way you can have a minimum forum post requirement before anybody can vote?

I figure if the contestants can have only one post, why not the voters? Seriously. :)

After all, this contest is intended to get visibility for SVS and AH, right? The more people that can come, read, and vote - the better.

Fair enough. :)

Definitely wanted to really compare the differences in a somewhat popular ~$300 sub vs a $500 one from a well-regarded manufacturer.

Travis' situation was most comparable to mine.. room size, existing equipment, also.. similar games/movies... easy to relate to
