Heads up will yield 3 extra dB at 22 Hz ...

Bigjohn, Last year, We had a VTF-3 Mark II in the Theater room when the SVS B4+ arrived. There is NOTHING to prepare one for the sheer size of that monster. My wife was about ready to KILL me ... The VTF-3 auddenly looked like a multi-media subwoofer by comparison. The SVS lasted four months.

I can't say the woman is all that excited about the vtf-3.

Funny thing. In that room, I originally had the Cerwin Vega d9's. They stand ~36" tall, 18" deep and wide, and weigh 93lbs each.

I got the m80's on Tuesday. the woman loved them because they were 9" wide, and the "room looked bigger". She was all gung ho for the m80's because of that, and they sounded and looked great of course.

......then the VTf-3 arrived on friday and totally burst her bubble $1000.00 for a big black box that dwarfed her end tables. Oops.

So, if the SVS is bigger, I'd be single if I got that one. The EP600 would probably be a little too much for her as well

yea, i had never actually seen the STF-3 til i went to bray's a few months ago. i was really surprised with its overall mass and just its presence in the room. i mean, there was NO doubt that was a bass producing beast, and you were just gonna have to deal with it.

i have seen the pics of the SVS B4, but not in person. and i can see what you mean, it looks massive also. there is no way in heck my wife would let me bring that in the house. i think she would just start pointing and screaming!!

Heh heh ... Mine DID kick and scream. I even had shown her the measurements, she eyeballed what she thought it would look like, and STILL said ok ... It was a FUNNY day when it arrived.

What ? You actually bring that into your house ? In all the tests I saw they just left it outside for safety and measured it there
