Apparently the battery went dead in my sarcasm meter. It usually works pretty well.
My apologies.

Does anybody know how much the Rocket RS450's were before the sale? They're $800 now including risers.
I "think" they were $899 without risers.

A little OT but how can you justify spending so much on speakers now that most the source material is compressed?
This is my exact reasoning as to why I won't spend a fortune on speaker.

I've still yet to hear a speaker by AV123...I'd kinda like to, to see what all the fuss is about. Right now my next upgrade is hovering between Dynaudio C1's and Revel Studio Gems.
If anybody's buying a package, could you PM me? I could use one of those 3-shelf racks for my second system.

They are going to start free demo-ing of bookshelf speakers. If you give them a call, maybe you could try out a pair of Ref1s risk free to try them out?

Right now, I'm looking to upgrade the main system, so I doubt any of their current monitor offerings are in the same league as what I'm looking at. I'd like to hear one of their big towers to see what all the fuss is about.
As for DIY speakers...all in good time. I'm starting with some DIY components, like a DAC, amp, pre-amp

Any idea how good they are compared to SVSound's?
The SVS-SB01 set is probably comparable to that X-series of AV123, with beefier sub?

Anyone thinking about getting a decent setup should seriously consider the 760/200/300 setup for $2100. I realize that's a big chunk o' change, but that setup will sound so much better than the $ spent. I have a step down system from that: 550/200/150 that I got a few years ago and have no regrets at all. Even my non-audiophile wife has become a big proponent of quality HT setups.

Yeah, the current SVS offerings would be competing at the X-series pricepoint.
The PB10 is quite the sub and would have no problems outperforming the X-sub afaik
I've become an SVS addict as well. There's a used PC Ultra somewhere between California an Wisconsin on its way to me right now
The future MTS speakers from SVS might eventually be a competator to the rocket options.
Of course, they're all going to have their own unique sound, so who knows what you'll like?
