Questions and Answers:

What were the greatest challenges you had to overcome when setting up your home theater?

Greatest challenge for me was the room I had to work with as this is a multi-purpose setup. Room is 19x13x8. Small room with big speakers so making everything fit was a challenge.

How has SVS impacted the performance of your system?

The SVS SB13-Ultra is literally the backbone of my system. Smooth, detailed, and rises to the occasion when needed. I was blown away after implementing it into my rig. The SB13 is phenomenal in every way possible. Engineering masterpiece for its size. My plan going forward is adding another SB13 to the right side of the entertainment center as well as an Oppo 103D. After that for the sake of my wife I'll be all done hee hee that is until we buy a house with a dedicated room then a projector and AT screen will be necessary.

What are some of your favorite music and movies for showing off your audio gear?

My favorite movies to show off my systems performance would be The Art of Flight, Transformer Series, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, among many other favorites.
For music demo's I like Lindsey Stirling, Pink Floyd, and everything in between.

Why is having a home theater important to you?

I feel a home theater is important for a few reasons. 1. Brings the family together. 2. Relieves stress related to work, school. Time to relax and puts your mind at ease. Very therapeutic.
