Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater input on SVS SS sub (wood) Crown amp/Rane Eq.??

I have all the paperwork and boxes on my 2 20-39PC plus's, They hold their value (does anyone know SVS's free listen period?) pretty well. If I sell the 2 20-39s I won't be in that much deeper. It's knida like something that big, and honestly that obtrusive, if you have it in beautiful wood, custom woodwork, it becomes the oppoiste. At least that's my rationalization. If nothing else-it's a conversation piece, yhat's for sure. They stand 50" tall, so they are quite a bit larger than the 20-39s and even bigger then the 16-46s!! There is a substanial performance gain, They have a much more rigid, solid cylinder, that many feel tightens up, what is already very tight base with the ultra driver. NOT just looks. Below is a review/calibration if anyones interested, it's a bit lenghty.

Jeesh, Jon.

You haven't ordered that yet?

OK, let's all help him out here. Please chant together:

You in the back- I caaaaan't heeeere youuu!

I am picking up the 2 monsters today!!! I wonder how close that maple will be with the axiom beech, a bit lighter I would persume, but hopefulyy close. My wife thinks I have a sicness (I probably do) as I will have 4 SVS subs, so the other 2 MUST GO! Ihate selling great stuff, but no chioce here.

Throw those "old" SVS's on audiogon.

That "tightened" sound is what I experienced between my Hsu over the 20-39PC+ and PB12+ in my home.

You should be able to get good money for your 20-39PC+'s on audiogon or HTF.

Your new subs will be quite enjoyable!! What's the next upgrade??

"Your new subs will be quite enjoyable!! What's the next upgrade??"

Being sigle again = A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!

Well....some do consider that an upgrade.

Where will it end?!?!

Jon, I seem to remember thinking that the in-home audition period at SVS is 45 days, but I did not check.

That's going to be a beautiful setup. Are you still on-track for a new house over the next year or so? Good to get all this HT gear locked down before you start spending on upgraded light fixtures and the like.

Congrats. You have a sacred duty to report back.

Yes, Tom, good memory. I can't wait, people laugh at me cause I am picking out flooring, and sketch HT drawing, and it's way to premature, but it's fun. If it's 45 days and not 30, I have to check my paperwork, I may fall into that category. That was another reason, the new room WILL require 2 major subs for the cubic footage at the bass levels I like. So now I build the room around the subs decor LOL, I will have them up and running tonight. I hope they match close to the Axiom beech color. By the way, I am keeping that pantry as you suggested for my QS-8 mounting, and to seal off the room a bit. Thanks for that suggestion. I have never used a separate sub, The Crown amp said a Harmon company, are they are/affliated with Harmon Kardon??

Harman is a huge company; they own H/K, Infiniti, JBL, Revel, Mark Levinson, etc. I don't see Crown listed on their website, but it would not surprise me.

<edit>

whoop, just found it. Yeah, they own Crown.
