Do you like the 350v2 better than the SVS? Yes Yes Yes... no question about it! Wow. Very interesting! The SVS measures better. As I've been discovering, some are very fond of an appropriate degree of subwoofer distortion. This is not a criticism in any way. No appreciation of distortion here! If you start talking about measurements then I can certainly tell you beyond a reasonable doubt, measurements are a guideline, not a definite answer. yes the svs2000 has better bench marks (as measured by the manufacture, but having owned a 350 for many years I can attest to 350 dominating in performance over the 2000. It's not about how low you go mojo, it's about how well you perform getting there. Andrew Welker posted a good chat with Sound Stage about reviews publishing measurements. It’s worth a listen for sure if you havent already. https://newsletter.axiomaudio.com/l...OAGuZcGyQgDXQ/S763TB3763Ti0oKt05zjU1IZ1A

yeah, i've already watched that one. has some great points. No doubt science does overlap what we think is great sound and can prove that the better performing speakers will generally appeal to the masses, BUT, not on every occasion.
Lots of speakers from many
manufactures...mostly Axiom

Listening to the San Francisco Symphony, Aaron Coplands composition Rodeo, “Buckaroo Holiday”, not bad at all.
Although, I am somewhat biased in that I am partial to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s recording of the same piece with Antal Dorati conducting.
cheers,
Jeff

Have fun with this one. I get almost 180 degree immersion with the actives, images all across and deep into my 21 foot sound stage. Bass is ace! https://youtu.be/i-aNMfhff88

Here’s my favourite of the day so far. Neil Young Cover. Bass line is exceptional. Vocals and instrumentation is haunting. What a great job by this guy. Never heard of him but I have now. For the Turnstiles https://open.spotify.com/track/09xqaKs81RkKrqqXoXlnoM?si=A-v438sMQ2uS2f72jzP3Dg

I wanted to add to that if you like Neil Young tunes search Neil Young Covers. There’s some good Spotify lists with all kinds of covers in different styles. Really interesting to hear other interpretations and arrangements. But the one listed above is a Favorite.

Hi Kodiak,
Seriously you’ve not heard of Aaron Copland before? That’s really unfortunate, you’ve been missing out on some extremely entertaining music.
Just to name a few other pieces he has composed off the top of my head, check out-
Rodeo, the complete Ballet
El Salon Mexico
Danzon Cubano
Appalachian Spring
Fanfare for the Common Man
And as I stated before I’m partial to the DSO recordings.
Enjoy,
Jeff

Hey Jeff,
But alas it is true. Yeah just simply never heard of him. But it’s good stuff!!
Thanks for that list. I’ll give it all a listen. That should keep me busy. Appreciate it.
It never ceases to amaze me how much great music is out there and so many talented people in all the genre.
