Great review Davehead.
I basically have the same set up ( M80's, vp150, qs8, Better cables)except for my sub. I have Sunfire True Sub Mark iv. I only recently heard of SVS and never came across any review comparing SVS and Sunfire side by side. Actually you almost never hear of Sunfire on message board across the net (Hometheatre forum, Sound and vision online)> I based my decision to purchase Sunfire from professional reviews, but since reading all these good reviews from SVS owner, I wonder if i made the right choice. Have you compare SVS with Sunfire? I would like to hear your opinion on this .
