petetherock Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I had the pleasure of listening to the SBS series from SVS recently courtesy of a brother here and it was quite a wonderful experience. For less than $400 shipped the bookshelf speakers SBS 01 was a super bargain and clearly demonstrates the principal of dminishing returns. Driven by a SS state Marantz SR 12, Rega Planet CD player, and using the same demo tracks in the recent 1k shootout, this baby is no slouch in impressing. The aural picture painted is easy, detailed yet not fatiguing, there is decent bass if you crank it up, although no one is going to mistake it for a floorstander. The mid is liquid and there is enough extension in the treble. Given the warm sounding partners, this setup was good at detail retrieval but not hot or angry and will not cause your ears to bleed. Its small size belies the sound landscape and it is quite easy to position, being a sealed chamber design. It deserves good stands and a good amp / source and it will be hard to beat in the <$6xx range. What is gives up to more expensive designs is simple a little less... less extension in bass, air at the top end and detail. But it does not get too unruly at higher volumes and will satsfy mid to low budgets and give good detail for music and HT. A good buy. http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_12_4/svs-sbs-01-speaker-system-11-2005-part-1.html

WatCult Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Hi Pete, Just like to check with you since you probably heard these speakers. How does the SBS-01 compare to the MA BR2 or RS1?
ralfale Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I wonder if there will be special price for the STS-01 as well. Anyone can confirm if these will be on demo in the coming fair?
petetherock Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 Notice it was more than 1 Year ago... I suggest you listen to them yourself... Cheers Hi Pete, Just like to check with you since you probably heard these speakers. How does the SBS-01 compare to the MA BR2 or RS1?
koma Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 by right they should be here for the show ;) I wonder if there will be special price for the STS-01 as well. Anyone can confirm if these will be on demo in the coming fair?
htkaki Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Yes, it should be here. I guess 99% of the products if not all. And who knows that there might be some new stuffs too :)
Supreme_Master Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Both the STS01 and the MTS01 is available for audition in the KEC showroom now.
