svs pb-13ultra test's

Why would you post a thread on something that you disagree with buying?
Just curious...

If you are so pro-DIY why not post us a thread on how to make your awesome HT sub that you have??
I myself wouldn't buy one but plenty of people will and have. My sub is awesome thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif but just wait till I have 2-15" ultras and a pair of xti4000s //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

 
I would really need pictures and credentials in the home audio world to be able to justify building/buying anything some random person behind a computer posts...

Are you kidding??? Who said anything about B&W anyway?

Great research Hansel...

 
So why would I want to buy this subwoofer?
Cause its better then your martin logan for ht but You argue your a stereo guy but you have a center and surrounds so either your a surround guy or just confused //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Don't get your panties in a bunch just cause I have proved every single time that a higher priced B&W gets outperformed by another store/net bought subwoofer.

You don't listen.

I don't even use the ML because I bought it for my DM330i. The 703 don't need a subwoofer. The only time it gets used is when I decide "meh I'll turn it on".

The surrounds are the same reason I have the TV. I don't ALWAYS listen to music. I got the DM601S3 for $304 and the HTM-7 for $450. So, its not like I spent a lot on my 'surround' system...

I think you are just confused. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

First of all, this thread isn't about B&W subwoofers. Second of all, you were proved to be a jackass and WRONG on your other thread. So give it a rest. IF you knew anything or had the ears to hear the difference between systems you could tell why people still buy B&W subwoofers. B&W is NOT known for their subwoofers and defiantly known for their SPL //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif. So how can you judge a company on something they aren't at the for front on?

Really tell me how I was proved wrong, Like what exactly is better about the b&w asw 850 then the svs pb-13 ultra?

People still buy bose //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Just curious do you play your subwoofer outside?

The way he tests those subwoofers is great for getting a perfect room or outside test. BUT, when was the last time you played your subwoofer outside?

When you put a subwoofer into a room you are going change your frequency response. Do you know what frequency bands go up? Do you need to do some test? Maybe build a couple of boxes?

Also check out the group delay. Ported VS Sealed... You can make a Ported subwoofer sound good but a lot of people will agree that a Sealed box will sound better in HA situation. Not if you are going with SPL.

Also, if you look at the time energy graph you will notice something. At the lower frequencies the B&W is more accurate. I wonder why? Could it have something to do with the group delay and the porting?

I can't tell you which sounds better, mostly because I have never head the SVS. But, I can tell you the ASW825 is a killer subwoofer, as long as you don't want to listen to your sub at 140+dB. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

BTW, a lot of people who listen to B&W and Def Tec side by side say Def Tech sounds like ***... But people still buy them too. I would say that is more like BOSE...

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/santa.gif.e1ec9cf2e0a0dd232ad35aa594a126d0.gif

I asked you in what way was I proved wrong? I said the svs has a better FR curve can you prove other wise? I said the svs has lower distortion, can you prove other wise? I also said it has better time delay, can you prove other wise?

If not then how was I made a jackass of myself? just cause you say it performs better with no proof whatsoever?

Ps You do know a properly treated room will act very much like if the sub were outside, Just ikka and others would rather test it outside so people don't get skeptical, craigsub over at svs test's his subs indoors and his test's are very close to what Ikka gets outdoors.

Actually bose is usually stereotyped as "NO LOWS and OVERPRICED"

Now the def tech trinity which is in the same price range as the highest end b&w has more low frequency output and its actually a couple of hundred dollars cheaper. So now which is more like bose...

b&w more over priced then def tech... CHECK

b&w no low end... Sort of check it has some but def tech trinity vs the highest end b&w the trinity wins hands down in low end output.

FR outdoors is going to be different for MOST of us. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

GROUP TIME DELAY IS NOT AS GOOD! NOR IS THE TIME VS ENERGY... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Who is craigsub (at SVS //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif)and Ikka (your new ghey butt buddy apparently)?... The tests are posted by slartibartfast. Outside is a GREAT way to bench mark a subwoofer. But, every sub is going to perform differently due to the room, no matter how much your room is treated. Every speaker preforms differently in different rooms, no 2 rooms are the same. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I really just usually let idiots go by. But you give people totally misleading information. You believe what you say so blindly you make other people think wrong is right, bad sounds good, and loud is better.

I hope you girlfriend is teaching your son some respect and decency but I doubt that if he is doing stuff like putting butter on your subwoofer and your 'camera' in the toilet. Why not just buy a new one? Can't afford it?.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

If low end SPL is all you care about then B&W is terrible for you...And you will never understand the beauty and power of music...

Go stick your head in your port and call it a day...
