By the way, that's one hellova system you got there bugbitten! Sure hope it's a large room because that baby must put out some serious SPLs.

Audiosouse,

3240 cu ft but open on both ends to other rooms.

The whole family likes this system. Can't wait until my 24 yr old son comes home next weekend. He hasn't heard it yet.

I think that is a little too much subwoofer for me! LOL!!!

I am leaning, very strongly, toward the SVS PCi 16-46. It did well in all of the comparative ratings.

Just my opinion, I have spoken witn Ron at SVS in detail about the driver(s), The PC+ is a "substanial" improvment over the pci (standard) driver. There is not much cost difference. While still costing less than the ultra driver. The ultra is better, but to a "much lesser" degree of impovement. The 20-39 (in the middle of the 25 & 46) would squeeze out a little more spl, and still goes to 16 hz with port blockers. IT GOES REAL LOW. The 20-39 PC+ is still a huge structure, not as big as the 46 of course, but given it's size it will play as low as you would want to go. I just think the 20-39 is a little more diverse, and a little less cost, take those bucks and improve the driver IMO.

From having lived with a 20-39 PC+ for over a year and odd months, I tend to agree with Jon.

The size is a telling factor...at seven inches taller (the 16-46) would make it look even more like a monolith...without adding that much...the 20-39 PC+ is a GREAT performer and will exceed your expectations in every regard...

The 20-39 PC+ sounds like the best "bump for the buck".

Another vote for the 20-39PC+... although if I were buying now I would also look real hard at the EP500. In Canada they end up costing about the same once you include shipping... not sure how the numbers work out in the US.

Shippin ran 35 bucks (for the 20-39 PC+) from Ohio to Florida as an example. I would also love to hear the 500 or 600, Are you listening Brother Bob??

Hey fellas, I appreciate your comments. I'm going to take another hard look at the PCi and PC plus series. I couldn't convince myself that the less than 3 dB in power would make any difference, the way I listen.

Could you give us a little more of the amplifier detail that Ron spoke to you about? I would be interested in what the "real" differences are in the two subwoofer amplifiers.

One thing that I have been wondering about in subwoofers is whether the peak power rating is more important than a RMS rating. I know that it depends on the music but I am having a hard time finding any metrics on sound distribution on multichannel systems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
