We left KHC around 2:30PM after AVForum day with a great satisfaction from begining till finish everything was excellent. This is the first time i attended a forum day @ KHC.
I was there just to hear/feel of Box 13 and meet other members. Met most of the members and said hello, which was the main purpose.
Did box ultra 13 was upto my expections? A short answer is No!. I can still consume quite a lot of LFE. Heard lot of power, bass & loudness in that room but not the real effect of LFE, that i'm familar with other family members of SVSs I have/had.
May be because of the simple reasons, including the seating position, the room or too much of expectation (hays mentioned this).
I read each & every post in forums regarding Box and cylinder ultras. Not seen a single negative comment on 13 ultra at normal (or higher) *listening* levels and some of the high lights goes like this
Did I change my mind. No! my name is already in the pre-order list and keen to receive the shiny piano black box. Glad to hear Santa may bring a gift!. SVS can't go wrong, i've experienced their customer service couple of times directly and via KHC, which is absolutely top notch!
Ok, back to topic. Walked straight to living room, after returning from KHC & started playing with my fav bass rich scenes. I've had refurbished my living room after moving in recently and never got a chance to calibrate the sub.
Gathered all the tools & cables required, still misplaced the M-audio USB soundcard somewhere. I've to live with onboard sound, but looks alright for the purpose. Here are some raw and refined graphs along with pics of new living room (most of you guys already seen this)
Tripod ready at listening level to measure up
PC wired up
Below the Raw response graph of Sub1 which has 12.3 driver
follows the Raw response graph of Sub2 which has 12.2 driver
And finally the Raw response graph of dual subs. I've gained 7-8db, for running both the subs together and slightly better response curve. Though it is uncalibrated, looks fine to me, i can get away with 3-4 filters.
Dual subs calibrated [first round - 4 filters
Dual subs calibrated [fine tuned - 2 more filters
I've added another 2 filters to bring down the peaks to make the response better
And finally the subs.
Box 13 will take up the space of dual cylinders, i may have to move cylinders to another room or dismantle for my future DIY project
your thoughts welcome!
Thanks

Get the feeling of air pushing out upto 7 to 8 feet
Dust /sand moving in front of the ports
Feeling of a concrete wall hits your chest
Still gets my blood pumping!
