  1. I have a SVS sub also. They will bottom out if run too hot. Back of the juice a little, and I think you will still be happy. Enjoy, DS
  2. Please count me in on the gathering. Sounds great! I live in Little Rock, and camping sounds super.
  3. Does anybody have any have any experience with short bulb life in a DLP. I've heard the life expectency is less than 2yrs, depending on viewing habits. This would be a deterrent in purchasing one if the rep. bulb price is equivalent to rep. cost of a DLP front proj. bulb Anybody have any info.?
  4. As far as content available now, there is a LOT. If you are the type that sits and watches the History channel, you might be out of luck, but if you watch the Popular, High rated programs, you can do ~80-90% High Def easy. I'm definitely a hi-def junky. Currently have Dish and subscribe to all the hi-def programming available. Also receive OTA CBS and FOX. Local NBC affiliate has a digital broadcast but doesn't do hi-def ABC station is too far away.
  5. .. Supposedly..... by the last day of 2006 everything starting on Jan 1st 2007 will be broadcast in High Def.. (I will not hold my breath, but wish it to happen..) Indy, as far as I understand the FCC regs, the conversion is to be to digital broadcasting, not hi-def. The date keeps being pushed back by stations applying for waivers. Maybe, one day everything will be in hi-def. When that happens, I'll probably never leave the house. Let me know if you know something else.
  6. Well Guys, Since I wasn't there, I chose C out of process of elimination. Seriously, EACH of our brains processes input differently whether the it be sight or sound, hence there is no right or wrong. There are too many factors to list which would make a difference in perception. Obviously, this was not a truly controlled experiment.
  7. Bassaholic? Most definitely! Hope they never open a 12 step program in my area...my wife would probably insist on me going.
  8. Thanks everybody for the advise. Heard from the people at SVS. I believe I was asking a little too much from my sub for the room size. I brought in an additional sub to help. It is a KSW -12, one I wasn't particularly happy by itself. Its low range of 25hz just didn't thump it. Together, they sound alot better than I thought they would. I was able to turn the juice down and let the Klipsch sub help with the moderate levels, and the SVS really thumps on the really low stuff. My buddy Tkd is coming into town with his SPL meter and Avia disk, so hopefully it will only get better from here! Thanks again for everybodys input.
  9. Thanks for the response! I have calibrated by ear. Probably not the best way. On the Phantom Menace, I adjusted the sub by watching the Pod Race scenes. I brought the gain on sub and the receiver db level up to where you could feel the jets on the Pods. I tried not to go into overkill. In the SVS owners manual, they recommend the initial setting on the sub to be between 1/4 and 1/3. Do you feel a SPL meter and Avia disk will help?
  10. Hi Guys! This is my first post. However, I've been a reader for quite a while. I recently purchased a SVS-PC+20-39 to go with my Klipsch system. In the past few days I have noticed some popping in movies with very low bass. Example- The THX opening to Star Wars The Phantom Menace, when the glass shatters instead of a smooth rumbling it pops at the deepest point. I've also noticed this on some of the low points in the Incredibles. My receiver is a Sony STR-DE935. My receivers subwoofer db setting is a modest +3. The gain setting on the sub is approx. 1/3. I've checked my cabling I'm currently using a better connect brand cable. Has anyone had any similar problems? Please help!
