If you wanted to go Internet Direct, there are plenty more companies than SVS, not that SVS is bad. To be honest I would rather have speakers from Ascend, Hsu, or EMP than SVS' S line. Also subwoofers from Outlaw Audio, Hsu Research, or Elemental Designs will equal or maybe even surpass SVS's subs, depending on your situation, and those companies don't have backlogs for most of their stuff either. The last thing you want to do is buy a subwoofer from bestbuy. I wouldn't buy any of the electronics there either, as you can often get the same item for much less from online vendors. And definitely don't buy accessories there, get your accessories from monoprice.com or blue jeans cable. If you can sell the card, do so, even if you have to take a slight loss, as that same amount of money will go a lot further online. The only things I buy at bestbuy are BluRays when they are on sale, and even then Amazon is usually cheaper.
