Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Stereo amp recommendation?

Not to hijack your thread or anything, but I really really like my SVS PB1-ISD. It is a fantastically solid and satisfying product. I've never heard the Rocket and know it is a fine product that gets good reviews. The small size of the box always bothered me on that whole "you can't reason with physics" level, though.

Ok, looks like I can skip the amp upgrade and invest my hard earned money on something more sensible, you guys are great!! :-) I'm going to order the SVS PB1-ISD tomorrow, PB10 will be here shortly so I hope the PB1 is not going to be on back order or anything. Next thing I need is a pair of heavy-weight stands to secure the M22ti, my 11 months old daughter is starting to walk, those curious little hands are all over the place!

Tom, where did you set the crossover point on your PB1? and which main speakers are you using? :-)

Good choice,a sub and not the amp.I think you will be amazed with the sub in the mix.

Tom has M60s. They're very nice. I've visited them. Him.

Sweeeet!! I just ordered the black color PB12-ISD(aka PB1-ISD) 5 minutes ago, Erik told me I should receive it on next Tuesday or Wednesday, can't wait to hear this bad boy eventhough I have no idea how well does it match with the M22ti. They have a PB12 in B-stock for $549, unfortunately it's tan color othewise I might of jump on it.

We're moving to another city by the end of next month so we'll have to start packing very soon, my wife is going to freaked when she sees this 78 lbs big box next week!! haha.

I'm going to take my time to look around more, the Rotel RB-1080 appears to be a very nice 200wpc stereo as well, I'm still trying to decide if it's worthwhile to sink another chunk of money on something I might not need.

I'd like too see what type of gear youll have in a year from now. Give me a buzz then, I might have my MF 3.2 cdp ready for grabs as I will be getting the next upgrades.

Peter? Can you tell Ben how well the PB12-ISD (aka PB1-ISD) matches the M22tis?

Saturn, I think I know why you bought the MF 3.2 CDP now, it's the curiosity and itch that have gotten the best of us, once you'd tasted a $1000 amp, before long you'll be shopping for a $1500 or $2000 upgrade, the same bug is going to work its way deeper and deeper to the core as long as financially allow.

BTW, I don't think any of us are saying that a bigger / better amp won't make ANY difference, just that you will probably see a small, subtle improvement from the new amp versus a huge, honkin' improvement from the new sub

Enjoy !!

Bridgman,

I totally agreed with you, that's why I'm holding off the amp upgrade now eventhough the little devil in my head keep telling me to go waste some cash, and I'm glad Dan and other reminded me....the extra headroom I get from a bigger amp is not useable or needed at the moment, If I must spend the money I think it's more sensible to upgrade my current M22ti to M60ti first, or just jump on the HT boat. :-)
