Man, I should have never found this forum, its going to turn out badly for my savings account... now on to the question at hand...
I was originally looking at getting an SVS PB12-plus to use in my home theater setup. The more I read, however, I'm beginning to think it will not reach to where I want to be. In my younger days when I didn't have very good common sense (yeah, I know, not much has changed!), I removed the rear seating in my Z28, and shoehorned 4 pro grade 18" subs in there with a true 1000 watt amp - I like to really feel it. The HT room I'm trying to fill is around 5500 ft^3, and I'm convinced I'll need the plus/2 to achieve the affect (or is it effect?) that I'm desiring. But then I start to wonder if perhaps I should go all out and just get the ultra/2.
I guess my question is has anyone made a close comparison between the plus/2 and the ultra/2? Is there significantly more headroom? Is the bass more musical, tighter or deeper? I probably will be using it for equal parts music and movies, if not perhaps more for music (all types, but I have an affinity for jazz, and I like good tight bass in my jazz).
Guess I'm just looking for justification for that extra $700.
Thanks,
TG
