There is definitely some good things going on at SVS.  However, I was actually leaning towards a pair of REL T5x.  Then, I spot an ad for a pair of SB2000 pro’s that I would be insane not to jump on.  They will be here tomorrow, hopefully waiting ... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I just went to Viva Tubes website.  I didn’t realize they were a Linlai dealer until it was mentioned in this thread.  I find it interesting how you can buy, a single tube, a trio, a quad, a sextet, or an octet, but you can’t get a pair?  Am I mis...

@bugredmachine, so glad this pair is operating correctly.  I’m sure I can speak for others, looking forward to your impressions after burn in. Enjoy!        Ray   
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
From what I observed,these tubes took at least 50 hours to start to open up. These were kind of impact free on all levels at first. After having well over 200 hours at this point,these are very full frequency tubes in my system,

@bugredmachine, please excuse my lack of technical knowledge,I concede that most here forgot more than I know. That being said,let me throw something crazy out there. Is it possible that this tube in your room is acting like some sort of antenna? ... 
Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   One man’s ugly,is another man’s gorgeous.

My mistake @danmar123.  I must have dozed off,and missed that part of the thread.:)

@danmar123 , so glad these are working out for you. I’m also glad they are quiet. I think you will be greatly rewarded after they get some hours on them. They really do open up.  Enjoy,and keep us posted as the hours burn by.   
Ideas for an amplifier?
Perhaps a refurbished Adcom GFA 555 or 555II? Plenty of grunt. There are a couple of companies I’ve read about that can get these amps back in shape. Between finding a decent amp,and service,might keep you in your budget. Good luck with your search.  
How important is spending time with your gear?
My goal is to have nothing in front of me but amp and speakers.  The gear will be close by,but not in my line of sight.   Ultimately,I would like to have all gear but amp and speakers in the closet in my listening room.

I really want to thank everyone for taking the time to give their experiences.  I was actually expecting a little more negative feedback.  It shows that SVS makes a great product.  When making a purchase, or working on a home improvement project,I...

@bugredmachine, hopefully nothing else burned up!     @jmbumgarner01, yes,three pair of the Linlai’s would be a bit pricey.

With the purchase of a brand new pair of subs,my small listening room will have 4 subs. Nice,even smooth bass.  I have 3 now,and that makes a difference over just 2.

Shame on most of you for liking SVS. LOL!  Looks like SVS remains on the list. On that list is,also,REL,and Rythmik. To be continued……

Thanks for all the input folks.  I know this thread may sound like I’m trolling.  I know I can find wonderful reviews everywhere, but I’m really interested in finding real world info. I will more than likely have the next pair of subs I buy until ...
