    Another great video Randy. I use the original as a power amp in my bedroom and love it's size, sound and power. Got it pared with an Echo Dot (Stream/pre) going into an Emotiva S8 sub sending >80Hz to the Soundbase which drives a pair of Emotiva B1+ bookshelf speakers. One question...Did SVS get rid of the internal lights? Mine lit up the bedroom ceiling like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I had to open it up and cover every LED with a small piece of electrical tape. Now I can fall asleep and wake up without the fear of a plane landing on my bed. I also think SVS missed by not having a variable high pass X-over when using the sub out. Due to its size, Soundbase users are likely to use it with smaller speakers.

  • @MrWinger1951

    Good to hear your 'reassurances' regarding Play-Fi, but I am totally unfamiliar with it, and I do a great deal of streaming and try to stay abreast of worthwhile audio products. But, I remain very skeptical of Play-Fi. And part of my concern is whether Play-Fi will be a stable platform going forward, and even whether it will remain a viable business. It certainly doesn't seem to be a major player currently. Quite surprised SVS would contract with them for their product interfacing.

I got a set of the SVS wireless prime pro speakers with similar internal electronics (class D amps (4), wifi streaming, same remote LOL- etc) and they are a remarkable system- my god they are so good. and yes, play-fi works pretty seamlessly and, of course - the files are fed straight from wifi as opposed to being cast via bluetooth by the phone you sat on last week.

    This one feels a little clickbaity and from a price perspective, you forgot to mention the Bluesound Powernode Edge, which gives you everything (including HDMI and Sub management) the Sonudbase 2 does but for $649. It does all of that while still providing what is in my opinion and apparently yours, a superior app experience, which to most people streaming is a high priority when deciding on what streamer/amp combo to buy.
    I can't speak to the overall sound quality, tone, etc of either so perhaps the Soundbase is indeed a better choice for some people depending on their listening preferences, but this feels like an oversight in an effort to hype the new Soundbase.
    After a lot of issues with Play Fi over the years and as recently as 2021, it's difficult for me to move away from Bluesound's interface, which is practically flawless. I do love me some SVS though and I hope that this product gains more momentum than V1.

      Lets keep this real. I was a McIntosh dealer for over 10 years, and the affordable McIntosh is gone. If you were talking getting through the PX or AFES in the day, sure it was attainable. Not now. I am a huge fan of McIntosh, but I like to do other things too. The SVS is not going against MAC or NAD per se. Even though the high end NAD will very nicely. Sold NAD too. Lots of NAD. Perspective and customer expectations and price here have to be kept in line here. Who is this SVS for and why.

    Man, I wish I’d have known about this receiver before I built my new system 3-4 months ago. I went with the Cambridge AXR100, because I needed a quality amp with a dedicated sub out and wanted a full bitrate internal DAC. I really wanted something with HDMI Earc for volume control and seamless integration with my HT since my listening system is the same. I love my AXR100 but I feel like for a 100$ bucks more, adding a streamer, and volume control thru my TV remote would have been a no brainer.

      @@krazyolie Having software built in would be a great option with access either on board, or via computer or smartphone. All in one is appealing but so many enticing standalone products too. So if one craps out or you find a better dac, etc, replacement is easier though perhaps more costly. Modular upgrade could be an option too especially if the pre/amp section performs very well. That way modules for dac, streamer could be upgraded over a longer period of time.
      Companies can do it but don't want to take away from their sales of upgraded products, I guess. With SVS, just offer one outstanding product that could be upgraded, giving it more longevity. Unless they don't expect the amp section to last over the long term?

    Question: when streaming Airplay 2 to this SVS box o' magic, can you control the volume via the native Apple Music app? or do you have to control the volume via the SVS remote or on-device knob? i know that sounds like a stupid question, but i've had a couple setups that didn't allow for Airplay volume control - so before i plop down $700, i want to be sure it solves for this issue.

    • @rosswarren436
      @rosswarren436 Год назад +6

      I agree, but "experts" who ought to know, such as Paul McGowan at PS Audio says that your main L & R speakers should play full range and subs ought to augment (not replace) their bass responses. Yeah, yeah, I know that flies in the face of all the advice we've been given over the years to high pass the L& R and low pass the sub, such that the main speakers are not trying to reproduce low end frequencies. His argument is that if designed properly with good crossovers, they shouldn't be trying to reproduce frequencies they can't.
      I've not tried it yet at home. I still have my Denon AVR set up to high pass the mains around 60 Hz, but it does make me think of trying it Paul's way over the Christmas holidays.

    • @richarddoberstein8308
      @richarddoberstein8308 Год назад

      ​@@rosswarren436 That is why I don't blindly follow Paul McGowan's advice. I do what sounds best to me. And letting the Subs make the Bass, sounds best to me. I have watched enough of his videos to know, that he doesn't care for Subs. He also doesn't like horn drivers. And that's fine, he has a philosophy, and a following of rich people who buy his products. I will never be able to afford his products. I am completely satisfied on a much smaller budget.

    • @rosswarren436
      @rosswarren436 Год назад +1

      @@richarddoberstein8308 I can see the technical side of it being better to play the mains full range. The crossovers (if designed correctly) should roll off the bass going to the woofers before they can bottom out. Then a sub would be augmenting them, not replacing them.
      Conversely, for most people with modest power receivers or amps, off-loading that work to a sub seems like it would be beneficial. Bass can account for much of the power requirements going to the mains, (just inspect any audio file in Audacity and see how much is devoted to that) so letting the amp in a powered sub handle that should let the mains play louder and easier with more perceived dynamic range.
      I'll experiment with it over Christmas holidays and see which way I like best.

    • @rosswarren436
      @rosswarren436 Год назад +1

      @@richarddoberstein8308 maybe. If that is what you want to do. But you will also need to level match the volumes, and best to try the sub in various positions depending on modes in your room.
      I'm not arguing, just noting that both approaches have some acoustic merit depending on your system. it won't be a "one size fits all".
