  1. She told me we need one for the other side for aesthetics. I told her even if I got another one it might not wind up there we have to put it where it will sound best. However, I think a 2400ulf would be sufficient to balance out FR. Surprisingly it’s not very localized like I thought it would be. But again have not had that much time with it.
  2. No, these were three Lascalas my buddy was going to trade some Altec Lansing VOTT for.
  3. Must be too big of a file, Made a little video from an app that had the subwoofer saying, “you’re right he is short”

  5. I don’t know why we ask each other where we went to high school, theres only one.
  6. I should have known that other people besides me did that. Sometimes Ill show her something 3 times the size just to make what I really want look like a compromise
  7. Thank you sir, Those PB four thousands are awesome also. Not to mention I would love to be able to set things on the fly with my phone.
  8. Yes, just trying to get it dialed in at this point probably going to take a while.
  9. I’d say I made it all the way to go about 730 8 o’clock last night before I said it for the first time out loud. Actually my wife said she would want one for aesthetics but it won’t be for quite a while and I doubt it will be another of the same sub but at least it will have a matching driver
  10. Thank you, that’s life in the big city. Seems like something goes wrong At every road trip to pick up an addition to the room. You’re right, it’s good bass therapy!!
  11. On a furniture dolly here when I was picking it up. Its mich bigger in person than I thought. Reminds me of how I first felt when I seen my Rf-7ii’s the first time. My wife and I drove up to pick it up, I never have to worry about WAF with her bit she did think it was huge. I was so excited my mouth was moving a mile a minute I couldn’t stop yapping. Jeff and I were loading it into my truck and I had it at a weird angle and I heard a pop and wound up ripping a bicep tendon from my shoulder. Not exactly how I wanted the day to go, but about parr for the course for someone Murphy’s Law seems to follow. I was honestly afraid to look at it because it felt so weird. I didn’t look at it till I went to bed and seeing that my bicep was hanging down toward my elbow. Surprisingly not a lot of pain. Despite all that I definitely hooked it up that night after my one of my sons and three of his friends wrestled it inside and down to the basement. Felt guilty not being able to help and just give direction. it’s in a resting place right now not sure if it wind up there . Not ready to give any type of review at this point I have not been able to spend a lot of time with it. I did however, throw on a few movie scenes just to see what she could do with some basic calibration. I have three words that come immediately to mind... Holy S@#t balls!! Can’t wait to see what today brings, it will be the first time I’ll be able to spend more than an hour with it .
  12. Thank you sir, I think I got it now.
  13. yes, my ears probably are toast by now. As far as I can see it shows RF sevens upfront on my side I don’t know why it shows different to everybody else , Here is a pic, Here is a pic
  14. Sounds like a winning combo, I really like the new look of the SVS. If it wasn’t for a few people telling me I need to try 18’s I would’ve bought the PB4000’s also. Its a solid choice!👍
  15. He never wound up trading the VOTT’s for them. But it will all work out I’m sure it will sound awesome!
  16. That would sure help shake things loose
  17. Didnt we have a conversation like that now that I’m thinking about it :-) I remember all too well now. Still wish I could’ve made the LaScalas happen.
  18. Thanks Carl, Sometimes I think of switching to a different AVR but it’s working perfectly fine and I know it inside and out so I have been hesitant. I have six kids, four still at home so springing for this sub was not an easy choice Thanks to a bigger than usual income tax check and a wife who loves the room as much as me I was able to get it as a subwoofer that I will die with . But I’m hoping to try REW and a UMIK And see if I can tame this puppy to wear it sounds good :-)
  19. I have three rf-7ii Upfront, I usually just cross everything over at 80 would you suggest lower? Unfortunately my AVR will not allow different crossover points even though it was not exactly a cheap unit
  20. I have been extremely happy with my two SVS PB12/2plus, However, and there’s always a however in life. I found myself listening to movies at +5 in music at +8 on the AVR with the gain at 11 o’clock on the subs . So I was pushing them harder than I want to. I’m on a concrete slab in the basement so that’s a big bass sucker right there. Decided to go with a JTR 4000ULF. I’m a fan of subwoofers in pairs, but won’t be able to get another one for another 10 months to Even out frequency response. Another sub, not another 4000ulf. I’m worried that it will be pretty localizable if that is a word. But as excited as I am right now I won’t care for a while I’m sure . Never had opportunity to even listen to 18’s so i’m hoping it’s a whole new ballpark. (I take that back, Scrappy has offered for me to come take a listen numerous times to his awesome system and he is only a few hours away. THANKS SCRAPPY!!) But I digress, I’m looking forward to see how much different it sounds in my room and what ultra low frequencies sound like(FEEL like, I should say). I’ll post some more after I have a listen, it’s about a 6 Hour Drive there so won’t get home till a little later in the evening but I’m sure I will still be hooking it up . Talk to you gents on the flip-flop !
  21. https://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/ele/d/svs-pb12-ultra-2-dual-home/6441981901.html I Spoke too soon
  22. If you are referencing the PB12/2 Ultra they are few and far between out in the wild. I tried for a year to get a couple and it never happened . PB12/2 plus much more common. I personally have only seen maybe two come up in five or six years.
  23. I just sold my two pristine piano gloss PB 12/2+ For 750 apiece. Sounds like a great deal they are awesome subs. I just unfortunately have become a total bass freak

    Disregard

    Mistake should not have posted
  25. Sorry for the delay, Got home late last night and been swamped all today. I have heard LSs in the past but I was a teenager so it’s been quite some time. The reason I am wanting to switch is it seems that I am more anxious to collect all the sound and video equipment first before I finish my room which i know is Bass ackwards. I have income tax check coming soon and with that money coupled with the money from the sale of my 2 PB12/2 plus I would like to get 2 new subs with more power that dig deeper as well. If I have La Scala’s I can move my TV down much lower than it is which would be ideal. Eventually I want an acoustically transparent screen and projector. But like I said I’m more anxious to get the subs than I am to finish the room. I’ve heard great things about them in home theater and music listening. So I think it would be a win-win situation. But to get back to your offer, first of all that is very gracious of you. I’d be happy to meet another forum member, I have had only positive experiences with people from this forum, and would jump all over the chance to hear what you have. I’ll shoot you a PM shortly. Thank you very much again! I always tell people when I talk to them or text from this forum, time is our most valuable asset and for someone to carve out some of that time for me when they don’t even know me is just awesome! So whenever is good for you is perfectly fine for me I don’t want to inconvenience you. Talk to you soon
