The truth about SVS revealed


No. You are dealing with someone who has identified a logical flaw in your (and your associates') usual pattern of character assault.

You are frustrated because you cannot attack my message, a fact, so you continue on with your futile assault on my character.

I don't know if we are dealing with a little kid who's parents forgot the parental lock on the computer or what?

I read the statement, which is a fact. And now that has become my experience, also a fact.

So by that logic, if I read a description of an incident, it somehow becomes my experience. Correction, my factual experience.

This just gets funnier and funnier...

Well as pzaur has already stated, this thread most certainly has become hijacked. If we can drop this most recent issue, i'd be happy. Who cares about the last word, no one has won or can win anything here.

TSC - Credible or not? From everything thats been posted thus far, no one here can answer that as of yet.

TSC - Should I buy it or not? Like someone mentioned before, that depends on your aversion to risk. If you don't mind spending money and dealing with potentially unforseen problems then go for it. If however you like putting your money down on a sure thing, then this company is not the place to do it at this time.

What the members of this site want right now is for someone to provide us a review of TSC's product, and because this site is comprised of Audioholics who tend to be smart in the arena of audio equipment, purchases, etc, you are not likely to see any of us to be the first to buy from them and give it the much needed review. Our best hope is that TSC sends Audioholics some products for review, and that way we can get a reliable source of information on it.

Not really much else to say on this thread unless someone has in fact purchased it and can write an extensive review on it. In which case, I think that would merrit a whole new thread topic.

Wouldn't that be nice Thaedium?

I'm someone. I'd be very careful and deliberate before purchasing from this company, for reasons already made.

Yes.

Hah! We'll get along just fine then Guangui!

Don't know what happened in this thread, yesterday there were only a few posts, all of the sudden a war started, and I got a PM about a list...Don't know if there is a hitman here making a list.

Anyways, for those of you sending PM's make sure you clear them, or is it that you get into so much controversy that get alot, and your storage space gets full in no time???

John, I'm sure we'll get along just fine. If many people tell you something about a member here be careful of that member, but if you only hear from one or two about that member; well, remember that every coin has two sides.

Did anyone finally bought from TSC??? Itching to know.

In the words of Oprah's grandmother, "Believe people the first time they show you who they are." Now that I've made an Oprah referance I feel way less in tune with my masculine side.

Being told something that you've actually seen really does seal the deal, regardless of how many times you hear it.

Exactly. This isn't bashing the new/little guy, this is being responsible and concerned about how you spend your money.

If however you like putting your money down on a sure thing, then this company is not the place to do it at this time.

I believe I said the same sort of thing about this as well. If you can take the gamble on what is an unknown company, then go for it! That's not for me though.

I Craigsub purchased one set of speakers from this company, and wrote a small review on them. This company would be recommended by everyone. Sad but true.

Example: Epik

Well, I started this thread with what I thought would be a fairly easy question. Guess I was wrong. I do want to thank those that tried to help. Seems Thaedium had the best and most sensible advice. Thanks. I haven't arrived at a final conclusion about the Speaker Company but I sure learned a lot about SVS which I had never heard of. If I take the plunge on buying a pair I'll let you know how it turns out.

The truth about SVS revealed

Read it.

Wow! I had no idea about the situation with SVS. I've always heard great things about the company and my own experience with dealing with them has been top notch, so it's hard for me to believe this about their business practices. That's a shame. I'm actually in the process of saving up to purchase one of their subs. It's just sad to hear about this.

Purchase away is how I see it. Marketing types come and go but a good sub is a good sub. BTW I've yet to see or hear an SVS sub. Do guys on other audio forums love 'em as much as this crowd does?

Greetings all. I don't want to break any forum rules here on advertising but... My name is Nick Valente and I am the General manager of The Speaker Company. Yes, we're very real and yes our prices are agressive and yes,,, I can't spell I'll fix that today.

We currently are not high end stuff (we'll get there) but for the price we sell stuff at we're pretty true to our word on the traditional speakers. Do a little more research and you'll see why we'll be around for a while.

Cheers folks

I bought a sub from them but had to cancel because of room issue. They went out of their way to make me happy. My emails were answered within an hour, even on the weekend. I asked to see samples of the finishes and received them in the mail in two days. My experience with them had been a happy one.

Yes, in other forums they talk wonders about SVS, and how can you walk over water, and turn water into wine after hearing a PB-10 or PB-12. Personally, my experience have been the same as yours, have never auditioned.

Being fair, how would you compare to something in similar price, like Insignia or Sony??? Saw your 5.1 computer speakers, looks like a good deal, what can you tell me of them vs. Logitech X-540, which is about the same price???

Walk on water? Man, I got screwed then...

[SVS Experience]
I previously owned a 20-39 PCi (bought it back in 2005) and it was my first delve into a decent subwoofer ($300+). While I didn't experiene any "spiritual" issues, I was quite impressed with it's performance and while ~$600 isn't cheap by any stretch, I've since heard/owned/demo'ed/built quite a few other subs and for the money, that is one heck of a sub.

As far as dealing w/SVS, I ordered it online, received a couple of confirmation and shipping e-mails and it was delivered in less than a week (there boxes are damn big). I didn't ask too many questions of them and they didn't bother me, just the way I like it. The next time I dealt w/them is when I upgraded the ISD driver on it when the NSD drivers came out, it was promptly shipped w/easy install directions, no fuss no muss. Lastly, I let a friend use the old ISD driver in a 20-39 PCi clone and he ended up overdriving it causing the VC to scrape when moving, so I contacted them one Sunday evening to see if I could have it repaired. They got back to me within a couple of hours (Tom Vodhanel in fact, the 'V' of SVS) and said b/c it was still under warranty, they'd replace it with a new NSD. That was pretty damn cool, didn't cost me a thing and I had the upgraded driver.
[/SVS Experience]

That's my only dealings directly with SVS, but as you can see, it was fairly positive. No water into wine, so I still feel kinda screwed on that one, but whadda ya gonna do...

Meanwhile, back at the Hall Of Justice (aka TSC thread), it would be interesting to give a pair of TSC's bookshelf speakers a test run, considering the only cost would be return shipping if you weren't too impressed. The ability to test these out in your own listening area is a great option and should definitely be taken advantage of for those looking at bookshelf purchases... -TD

Being fair I can tell you that our P series speakers are made with the same componets (and factory) as the major brands, they are speced by a very reputable frim in the US and the P6 will sound every bit as good (maybe better) than a Polk R20 or anthing from say JBL at a $160-70 price point. There is no "magic" here, we're buying from the factory, we have almost no overhead and we have large company resources. We pass the savings along. Our first speakers are entry level speakers for sure but we're moving up the line very quickly in the coming months.

The 5.1 system sounds good and is comparable to systems from Logitech though honestly not at 1/2 the price. Only our traditional loudspeakers are sold at half of MAP of comparable speakers. I can't tell you the name of the factory since they make speakers for very large brands.

Hey we've got a 30 day return policy and you might not believe me but we will keep our word. I've been selling things online for 14 years and have a reputation to keep us as does our sponsor (who also has to stay unnamed)

Give us a try, my name and email is on the website, if you have a problem let me know.

Thanks to those in this group who've stuck up for the "new guy" cause this is not easy! But I'm having fun.

Nick, it would be so nice if you made life easier for us, it might also would have increased your sales; as I'm holding off on buying a 5.1 computer speaker set that you have for $70.00, just because you have not been able to produce any reputable facts.

1. In another forum someone did a research on TSC, and says that TSC is owned by D&M Holdings (Denon, Marantz, BA, McIntosh, etc.). If you confirmed this was true, it would make life so much easier.

2. A Denon dealer noticed that your commercial address is the same as Denon's for warranty/repair returns. BTW, he also mentioned that he was positive of this, as he had to send 3 units for warranty repairs in a 24 hour period...No wonder there are so many Denon's in the refurbished market.

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Then why in the Epik subwoofer thread did you state. "SVS was so Yesterday" ???
