John,

The annoying thumping that you describe is very much like what we heard from the SVS PB/12. It got boring very quick. That is not what my Sony sounds like. And the 350v3 thump isn't boring either.

As I've said elsewhere in this post, my Sony isn't an accurate transducer. Nonetheless, it sounds better for music to me regardless of the room.

It will be interesting to hear the SVS Ultra given your comments about how good subs should sound.

What do you think is causing the lack of snap then? Why do I have snap in my Boses and not in the Axioms when they are placed in the same room?

Thanks for the reference on Brubeck. I'll look for that \:\) .
