HCC - SVS PC13 Ultra - 'Reference Status'
As the UK magazine industry slowly catches up with the online plaudits, Adam Rayner spills the beans in an all too brief review:
'It shook my home like no other woofer I have ever experience; deep, tight, melodic and controlled'
'It is the single most glorious and potent sub bass system it has ever been my priviledge to play with'
'5 Stars - Reference Status'
I think he liked it 
So nice to see SVS finally receive the homage they deserve from the UK AV magazine industry, thanks Adam

Re: HCC - SVS PC13 Ultra - 'Reference Status'
No surprise there then 
At least they got it right this time
Hopefully it'll give certain manufacturers a kick up the behind

At least they did not revert to the "Glass of water" and Jurassic Park track trick

Re: HCC - SVS PC13 Ultra - 'Reference Status'
I think that we should invite Adam Rayner to the AV Sales open days then he won't be so far behind the rest of us

There is a physical resemblance as well, come to think of it.

If he and I were both there, I'm not sure anyone else would get a look in on the sarnies.

Are you suggesting he's on the large side?  
FWIW, I thought you look decidedly slim, in comparison mate.
TBH, I preferred his car thoughts

Oi! Last time I looked, I could loose weight, but the chances of you lot getting any taller seemed slim. 
Unless platforms are making a comeback that is.
