It's faster and tighter than the bigger brothers, but it does not go as deep. I am using a SB12 together with my 5k's and are relay satisfied with it. Unfortunately they don't like to demo them, only the large ice-cream freezer size ones. On the last Stereo Hi-Fi fair in Stockholm (almost purely a Music fair, no Home Theather) they demoed the SVS with a sine wave generator! "Can you hear and feel the walls vibrating?"...

I'm using the M- SW5500 with the 5200s in front. I'm curious, what do you guys use for DSP modes to make use of your subs for music? Other than a few music DVDs with 5.1 Dolby or 5.1 DTS, your really not getting sub level music right?
I'm continually amazed at the low end produced by the 5200s alone actually...

"1812" isn't the only DVD-Audio with low-frequency content...

true enough - I was just listening to Celtic Woman DVD last night with some great Timpani. Of course this is vis DVD DTS 5.1, no problem there or with any DVD-A 5.1 fed with 6ch analogue.
I wish it was all recorded/produced this way, but the bulk is stereo only.
Question: what M- DSP modes will carry any sub data to the sub?
Only Cinema (DD5.1, DTS5.1), and Discrete via 6ch analogue inputs... No? Using any 'Music' mode (i.e. Trifield, etc.), the sub won't receive any signal regardless of the frequencies present in the music, right? Just checking my thinking here with you guys...

Depends on whether your speakers are large or small and what the crossovers are set at. Or are you specifically talking about the LFE channel?

[/QB] No, I guess I wasn't thinking of LFE channel which would be only present in a 5.1 wrapper (DTS, DD) or direct feed via analogue from an external decoder. I have all large speakers (5200s; 5000s in rear), so I set the config that way; But if forced to small, this applies to all DSP settings right?; so no way to switch this back for a different source... ken
