is this forum all about svs . is it me or is this fourm
getting very boring svs day in day out surely there is more interesting posts than the this daily yawn. of svs posts. come on
get a grip their are subs out there worth posting other than
svs .they should be good as they are as big as thr eiffel tower

[buns]

if thats what those browsing the forum use, then thats reflective of what people want to talk about. Sure there are other subs, just their owners arent necessarily so quick to talk on here. In the end of the day, if you dont want to hear about svs, dont come in here!

I could be wrong but I think I did see mention of a Rel sub here some time ago, maybe last year

[lmccauley]

I think another reason they are talked about a lot here is that they appear to be great value for money, but you can't simply pop into a dealer to audition them. The only alternatives I can think of are to read reviews and ask questions in forums like this.

By the way, if there are other subjects you'd like to discuss, feel free to start some threads.

Cheers,
Liam

That was in the classifieds when I sold my REL Q100E

and replaced it with a SVS...

(sorry, couldn't resist)

or you could consider it that svs owners are actually so horrified by the performance that they cant bring themselves to using them! Meanwhile all the other sub owners are just too busy enjoying to post!

I use an Artcoustic sub. the DFS100-75 is the best sub I've had at home (including some goodns like an MX350 and a Stadium). I'm told they use it at the Electric Cinema in Notting Hill which is a BIG cinema. it kicks ars

Just wanted to use the new smilies

[rags]

Actually I do more than my fair share of B&W subwoofer related ranting on this forum. Good subs them.

[Spligsey]

Can i get a rewind?

Quick search results on sub makes.

B&W 101
Velodyne 342
SVS 98
Servo 15: 97

Doesn't look like a bias in threads on SVS to me.

Your right, but this will always happen not just with subwoofers.

[Nimby]

I find it interesting that the only subs you can't demo, can't borrow for a home trial, can't find in every local dealer, cost more than the average sub, are always bløødy huge, aren't covered in quality hardwood veneers, aren't advertised and are only available on the "well dodgy" internet are still bought, enjoyed and ranted on about on the AV forums both here and in the USA.

I wonder what the reason could be?

BTW Anything not about is now strictly

Why are you surprised as it was the medium of AV Forums that gave Velodyne the UK recognition and profile it has today.

AV-Sales who sponsor the speaker forum are authorised Velodyne dealers and have been advertising the fact here for many months as well.

[russraff]

Yes, there is a lot of talk about SVS. A year or so and you will find Velodyne mentioned more than once, thanks to some good offers in the Powerbuy section. Go back even further and Servo15's were the sub of choice.
Without wanting to sound too deep, here, but this forum has "movements" like any large social gathering; people start talking to others about some new exciting good quality product. Recommendations are made and before you know it, maker A is the flavour of the month and seems to be talked about incessantly.
What I think is actually happening is people are eager to voice their opinions on something that either a) surprises them and 2) disappoints them. In SVS's case, the former would appear to be true and who can blame those talking about their new piece of kit in their hobby?
