FAO: home audio geeks - SVS speakers?

[White16valver]

Been looking around for surround sound stuff.

I blatantly can't afford them but I'm being drawn towards the SVS SBS-01 speaker packages, with either the PBS-10 sub (I think that's what it's called) or the 12 inch version.

Has anyone had any experience of them?

Thanks in advance

They are pretty good value and discreet Mcbunny. Have you heard them?

 

[McBunny]

i heard a set of single ones quickly not listened to a full film through them

but heard good things about them for small speakers that look good

I think it's just the massive bass that the SVS are said to have that's attracting me

I really want the PB-13 Ultra (I think?) version of the SVS - flat response from 20-150hz apparently and powered by quite a large internal amp that means it properly drops, even to about 10-15Hz... *drool*

Sadly it is muchos coin - like over a grand - which is what the SBS-01 set up is going for with all the speakers and the sub too

Fag Get it bought and stop crying!

I'd need an amp for the speakers as well! I know my dad said he'd chip in but this is like double the budget lol

Is that the one around £500? Or the £1000 one.

Old man is looking at them. Probs the £500 for his needs

 

[McBunny]

that ones 1400 ish lol

 

[White16valver]

Ok, I emphasise that the main determinant in my amp choice is CHEAP lol

 

[Rasclart]

My old man has my old Denon 6.1 Amp if he decides to get the Onkyo will shout at you. Tis a good amp. Model escapes me was about £300 from Richer Sounds year or so back.

LOL I have lost touch with Home Cinema to be honest. Stereo for the win
