Ahhhhh...at last. I am sitting here sipping a Woodford Reserve and coke and listening to Pink Floyd. Sounds real nice. I finally get to hear the SVS with music. I have nothing to compare it to (at least in my house), but it doesn't seem boomy. I think I need to play with the phase, but will do that tomorrow after I get my hands on a setup DVD and an SPL meter from radio shack.
The dealer says the Evo's will sound better after 100 hrs of play time. Supposedly the kevlar drivers loose some rigidity and the sound will 'open up'. It almost makes sense with kevlar. I agree that kevlar can loosen up with movement/wear/stretching. Whether or not it changes the sound is another story.
I am eager to give the Evo surrounds a good listen tommorrow. I want to see how they compare to the QS8's...which I thought were amazing. If the Evo surrounds don't stack up, I might order a pair of QS8's. The cool thing is that Wharfedale recently changed their rosewood finish....the ones I just picked up today are much less red than the ones I was used to seeing. They are now darker and more like mahogony...fairly close to Axiom's boston cherry. So, if I do end up getting QS8's, they will blend right in.
