Enter to Win: SVS PB12-NSD or a SB12-NSD!!!

[alphaiii]

Question 1:
What are the SVS Bill of Rights and which is your favorite?

SVS' 11 customer service promises. My favorite is the 5-year warranty, since let's face it - electronics do fail. It's nice to know I'm covered for a reasonable period of time.

Question 2:
What is the next product you would like to see from SVS? Describe it in as much detail as you like, and let us know what it should cost.

I'd like to see the SB10-NSD come to fruition. Ideally, it'd cost at most $399, as originally projected. Lower cost is always appreciated though.

Question 3:
What do you look for in a great subwoofer?

Affordable price, manageable size, and most importantly a well behaved ground plane response. Extension into the mid-high 20's would be nice, but that might be a little unrealistic, given the size/price restraints I have... but at least extension down to 30Hz.

Question 3:
What do you look for in a great subwoofer?

1. A specific list of customer support pledges. My sentimental favorite is the "free shipping", simply because it strikes me as very irritating for other internet-direct companies to "pretend" their price is lower than reality by advertising a cost without shipping included...but #8, the 5 year warranty is an unusually solid and lengthy warranty, and my pick for favorite.

2. Either a quality budget vented sub; or wireless set up options.

3. High SQ including graceful performance under challenging conditions (e.g., limiting output instead of distortion and/or blowing up); no "peaky" frequency response

This makes shopping easy for people, for example if the sub is too powerful/-less you can easily return product and order different one.

Question 2:
Powered box woofer, downfiring with piano gloss black finish.

Question 3:

Low bass extension to get ultimate sound and feel from movies.

1) The SVS bill of rights refers to the promises SVS keeps in their business. For me, the most important is the one about offering the best quality in each price range. Free shipping and warranties are fine and good, but at the end of the day, what I care about is that I'm getting the absolute best piece of equipment I can when I spend the money.

2) Honestly, I'd like to see something geared towards use in smaller-scale setups... like computers. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find good computer speakers? You more or less can't, unless you step up to studio monitors... and then you're getting into expensive stuff. So, a lower priced sub (perhaps with speakers) solution for computers that's in the $300-400 range.

3) Bass has to be tight. I don't care if it gets down to 4hz if it's boomy and sounds like garbage.

What are the SVS Bill of Rights and which is your favorite?
11 commitments to providing top-notch customer service. My favorite would be the 5-yr warranty.

What is the next product you would like to see from SVS? Describe it in as much detail as you like, and let us know what it should cost.
How about a sound level meter that comes pre-corrected for bass frequencies? I hate measuring test tones with my Radio Shack meter and then having to use correction tables. Make it cost less than $40.

What do you look for in a great subwoofer?
- Quality construction -- built like a tank so that it conveys strength and durability.
- Outstanding finish -- a box this size in my living room better look nice!
- Tight, controlled, strong bass.

Question 1:
What are the SVS Bill of Rights and which is your favorite?
It's the list of customer service promises that SVS holds to their name. I like the 5 year warranty the most. Not many companies will offer this length of a warranty on subwoofers, it's nice to see one that does.

Question 2:
What is the next product you would like to see from SVS? Describe it in as much detail as you like, and let us know what it should cost.
A sub in the 15" range would be nice. The 13.5" already kicks butt, but a 15" would rock socks, and much more, off if you know what I mean .

Edit: Forgot the price. Given the range of the PB-13 Ultra, this one would cost in the $2500-$3000 range likely.

Question 3:
What do you look for in a great subwoofer?
Something on the relatively "cheaper" end that will still sound good (not boomy) when you turn it up.

Question 3:

I look for sound quality - clean, clear bass - packaged in a nice size - can't be too big to overpower the aesthetic of the room it's in.

Question 1:

Eleven promises made by the company to make buying from them worry-free. The whole here really is greater than the sum of its parts, but I'll go with #1: 45 day in-home trial rather than the usual 30 day.

I'd like to see a PC-15 Ultra! Go big or go home! Preferably $1999 or less.

Power, and the ability to integrate well with the other speakers.

 

[nickboros]

Question 1:
What are the SVS Bill of Rights and which is your favorite?

The SVS Bill of Rights are found at this link. My favorite (though hard to choose a favorite) is the five year warranty. This means that they are designing a product that they stand behind and have some faith in.

Question 2:
What is the next product you would like to see from SVS? Describe it in as much detail as you like, and let us know what it should cost.

SVS already has budget, midlevel and flagship subwoofers that are both ported and vented. How about having ones with a passive radiator or two at the budget, midlevel and/or flagship level. I've heard (but don't understand the theory behind it all that well) that subs with passive radiators can have the strengths both the sealed and vented designs with the only drawback being the added expense of using a driver for the passive radiator. They are supposedly described as tight, like a sealed sub, but with the impact, extension and output of a vented sub. It would be nice if the price was not too much of a premium over the line of vented subs that SVS has (within $300 for budget, $400 for midlevel, and $500 for flagship).

Question 3:
What do you look for in a great subwoofer?

Many subwoofers by other manufacturers are not actually subwoofers and should be referred to as a "subwoofer" or a bass-module. A subwoofer is a speaker that has a frequency response (+/- 3 dB) from 20Hz to 80Hz, at reference level. So SVS is one of the few companies that actually make subwoofers. By this definition, most if not all of their subwoofers actually deserve that name. My idea of a great subwoofer is to have extension flat down to 20Hz or below, enough headroom to do this the size of room that I have, good impact that you can feel during action movies and yet remain still remain agile enough handle music well. All of that and of course having a good value, like SVS is known for.

 

[bootman]

1) 5 year warranty.

2) Stereo pair of matching 10" mid bass woofers (80-40hz) that could also serve as a stand for monitors. Price $1K.

3) true extension down to 20hz. anything else is just a woofer.
