SVS Speakers

He guys, following you thread. I can have a full 7 speakers and sub from SVS shipped to Sask for $140 which is not bad. Problem is does anyone have any experience with SVS speakers - putting them on a Yamaha 1500?

In Canada, the SVS PB-10 is 750-800 dollars.

Wrong, a PB10-ISD don't cost 750-800 $ as you say. Mine was 640$ including everything (B-Stock with a minor cosmetic flaw that nobody can see)

Sorry the 140 is the shipping cost from the factory to Saskatchewan.

Shipping to BC where I live was 750.

Rocky: See if beautiful Buffalo NY has dealers for what you want. Take the sig.other for a weekend getaway so you can spend 48hrs there and not have to pay duty on whatever sub you bring back.

It's not that far from TO eh, and hey, it's the original home of buffalo wings!

Yeah the taxes in Canada suck, but on the bright side, you don't have Bush running your county.

Hey bud, that's President George W. Bush. Hey, the country survived the dishonorable "Slick" boy blunder. If you hate him so much........MOVE!

Rocky, I went with the STF-3 from EFL back in September and couldn't be happier. I was able to bring it home for $740 all in which I was pleased with. You should be able to do the same.

It is quite large but probably the best option for your budget up here in Canada. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Word of caution. The HSU retailers (at least in the GTA) have horrible listening setups. It is a shame that these retailers don't spend more time and energy on providing a good listeninig enviroment for auditioning. I didn't find auditions very helpful at all. But it sounds great in my room, so I'm happy.

Any Canadians able to get a port plug for their STF-3? I'm having a hard time getting one and HSU in the States won't ship it here. Tried the retailer and distributer up here and no luck. I figure it would be $5-$10 well spent.

One more question johnny

no 3db...sorry if that was not very clear. The Hsu STF 3absolutely killed the 12" psb i tried..the subsonic 10 i think it was called. The 10" was a nice little sub though i have to say by psb for the money. Go Hsu. At $700 you can't lose!

Be prepared though. The Hsu STF 3 is massive.

Thats the Subonic10i Its sports dual 12 woofers.

Sheep and other Canadian readers,

Someone recently asked me about Bryston\PMC relationship and if their speakers are readily available.

Have you heard these speakers or seen them at any of the AV stores you frequent?

I really like the technical design and cabinet quality.

 

[Johnny Canuck]

yes 3db you are correct. i had the single 12" model for a demo. Sorry.

It depends on what blunt instrument you use to beat it. It can be chicken, or lobster.
