Well i phoned RS today...to find out, what was going on with these things......
The phone call went a bit like this:
RS: Good morning, Richer Sounds, (What ever his name was) speaking.....how can i help you.
ME: Hi matey....i wonder if you can help me. I ordered a Servo 15 on saturday and just wondered what was happening with it.
RS: Oh yes............We have just managed to strugle up the stairs with it.............It arrived this morning.
ME:
.......OH.....Right....id better come and get it then.
RS: OK...see you soon.
My god its a big bastard.....you cannot carry one of these by yourself.
My report so far, with just a quick setup.........The SPL is down compared to the SVS from 80Hz-50Hz, it is then higher than the SVS from 50Hz-30Hz...it then drops again, just like the SVS.
Useing the Avia disk, it does not seem to have as much SPL as the SVS at the low end, with the freq sweep.
I think it is low from 80-50Hz because it might be haveing some sort of prob with my Main speakers....Although my crossover is set to 80Hz...but i cannot fiddle as the Servo has no fiddleing sticks on the back.....i need one of them X30 things (How much is one of them ganner cost me.....???? and can i order it from RS...??).
I tried a couple of films.......SWTPM (Pod race) seems to be about the same as the SVS.......Toy story 2 (The start) seems to be better with the SVS........Blade 2 (house of pain) there seems to be some more bass, but it lose's it a bit, with the higher bass, because of the low SPL readings I'm getting (i guess ).
TItan AE (the ice field)...defenetly much better than the SVS......The bass made me jump and i could feel my head shaking....its evern better with this film than what my SVS was like at TK's house.
Maybe i have it set to high.....i will try and do some more tests tommorrow, but at the moment, i am well pleased....in fact, i might order another one.
Oh yea....i payed £399.95 for mine.
