JKohn, i'm aware that many people consider the SVS to be a good price:performer but there ARE better subs out there that can be found even if they cost a bit more. To me that extra cost is worth it for the aesthetics alone.
However cheap or best price:performance does NOT have to = ugly as well. How hard would it be to use something other than a black finish?
Even as you say, an unfinished primer white would be better to allow the "tech savvy" home users to do with what they want.
In any event, the word SVS has been used in the past six months almost as much as the word terror in any US news broadcast or presidential speech. I have not heard or read about HSU or VMPS nearly half as much as SVS. I'm just getting tired of hearing nothing about subs except SVS.
Consider it my pet peeve when a single word gets used so many times it actually becomes annoying regardless of its meaning or intent.
