My fear is that their technology was bought out entirely by a single company and became a proprietary technology. But we're talking about the company that invented DTS, so I'm really hoping SVS becomes a standard that is included in just about every piece of hardware out there. I can envision the next XBox or Playstation, Home Theater Receivers, and Computer Sound Cards having SVS included.

These guys deserve all the hype one can muster. Award winning material, IMO.

I'll have to update my post in the CanJam impressions thread though... I had presupposed that IEMs/Buds wouldn't work!
Yeah, the head tracking works with IEM's, but you need to still wear it. Either a headband/hairband type thing will be required. In this case, I had it rubber banded to my K1000's. When I tried it with my Triple.Fi's, I kept the K1000's on, rotated the ear speakers out all the way, which left plenty of room for the Triple.Fi's.
