Sweet, can not wait to see the pics, i bet they will be awesome. I want one ultra right now, and if brought two home i would homeless and wifeless. She would have it all but maybe i can get two one day. Post pics once you get them setup and lets up know how heavy they are. I have read that they are 150+. Thats crazy for a sub. I thought 50 was heavy.

Congrats!!!

Congrats and welcome to the SVS family, I can only imagine what two of those must be like. Hopefully it won't be long till they come out with a PB13 Ultra/2, then you can upgrade to two of those :D

They said they won't do a /2 as it would be too big to ship.

I believe that. So I guess you will just have to stack two more on top of your current two, and also upgrade to 20 amp circuits. I can imagine it would be large and heavy to ship, but not impossible... Amazon.com shipped my 73" tv, and I know the box it came in was much larger than the box that would be needed for a ultra/2, but the weight, now that is a different story.

It was going to cost $300 to ship that Conquest I had on order. I think SVS is also looking at it as a warranty issue too. Imagine having to ship it back and forth a couple times. Isn't the shipping weight of a single PB-13 like 175lb anyways? I couldn't imagine a dual model weighing anything less than 300lbs.

pics to come.

Pics are coming, the wife is working on her masters degree so she has the computer tied up!:(

Initial impressions: I have only listened to music so far due to the fact that my HDMI hasn't come in yet. I expected the addition of depth with the upgrade, however I didn't expect how this setup would handle the small stuff. The unexpected clarity due to this upgrade has been eye opening! I was impressed with bass tracks, however it was stuff like Miles Davis' Kind of Blue where this system started to shine. I had gotten used to the bass player being kinda an after thought with my system. The singer, or lead instrument was always well imaged, but the bassist was always knda in the background. Not any longer.

This step up tpwards a true hi-fidelity setup has even the wife pumped about new speakers! Who could ask for more? We are planing on moving to Paridigm S8 signatures later.

I think a hearty thank you is in order for all the membes on this forum. Without you this would have never happened and I would still have no idea what I was missing. The constant drive tpwards two or more subs is totally worth the effort. I have never heard bass sound so clean before, and I know it's due to what be learned here. Thank you all.

That said, I am the new official SVS spokesperson now!! I am thrilled with the build quality and performance of these subs!! It's almost as if I got a free recieiver upgrade along the way. And Polks have no business sounding this good!!

That's supposed to say Polks. It's nearly impossible to edit a post from an iPhone!

Nice setup. I hope you don't have neighbors who live too close. If you turn those babies up, I'm sure they would be able to hear your bass in their living room.
