Read the licence page too! It says that svs could be incorporated into recievers, dvd players wireless phones.. This could end up being a less expensive way to get svs. Would it not be cool to have a blu-ray player with all the hardware built-in.. you could have a one-box home theater solution...

The beyerdynamic does not allow for a true personal calibr ation like the svs. its more like an enhanced dolby headphone i think - doesnt relly interest me at all. I have a dolby headphone denon at home. Remember the first article made on svs by widescreen review magazine back many years ago...

please check out this link: AVS Forum - View Single Post - Finally! Firsthand demo of Smyth "SVS Realiser" Finally some good news. Apparently the hefty price of 3000$ includes a stax headphone and amlification!! - not bad at all. Demos at the international headfi meet in ft. lauderdal in...

amazon has the avr145 for circa 200 dollars - thats not a lot if it performs above dedicated headamps - in fact its so little i wouldn't hesitate to try it out - Only problem is that the same unit costs 770 dollars in denmark !!!! it the suggested retail price, but i cant find it any cheaper...

hey tbonner1, id love to have you compare the HK to the other amps on your list. Also id like jrosenth to specify which model HK that was used, was it really the same avr 145. to sghound : to you prefer listening with dolby headphone in stereo or does it distort the sound in any way. I...

I was wondering if any harman-kardon owners could compare the dolby headphone to the any of the two wireless dolby headphone sets from pioneer or philips sbc-hd1500u. i'd like to point out that a quick search revealed that there are loads of apparantly cheap harmans going on ebay.com - most...

Thank you Erik for the link to that review - it answers most of the questions that I've had. It seems you dont really need a surround setup to do the calibration, but only a single speaker- much cheaper to buy than a full 6.1 system of high quality- great. imagine having a smyth box with a...

A picture of the yamaha SVS unit and something about new phones from yamaha and other related accessories: http://blog.ultimateavmag.com/cedia2006/091606Smyth/ expected release early next year

a digital out might be even better perhaps - but I wonder how much both amp and dac will really matter, considering that SVS works by copying the sound signature of speakers -I mean suppose it can make any phone, and any dac and any amp sound like any one speaker system due to its software...

good news: the yamaha unit will include a line out, so we can use our own prefferred headamp. I've forwarded the link to this thread to a SVS representative, so if you care to voice any opinions/wishes i think there.s a good chance they will listen in. cheers

Yamaha does SVS - check out this link: http://www.avguide.com/news/2006/09/...vs-technology/ It seems price will go down from the previously mentioned 3000$ to a a more consumer friendly 500$ thanks to yamaha.

There is also the system from smyth called smyth virual surround - it uses headtracking and an individual calibartion procedure. There is a picture and some more info in this thread http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...ighlight=smyth - it certainly looks as good as the headzone...

Hi PinkFloyd You mentioned that the Canamp can drive a high-sensitivity loudspeaker, but how would you do that - you would need a special cable, right? One thing that has caught my attention lately is the visaton b200 8" fullrange driver used in an open baffle configuration - there is a...

what a shame. Today I checked the smyth website but it's still under construction! I wonder if we will ever see a final product in the stores. Also these threads dont seem to generate as much attention as I was hoping for - in the beginning I felt certain that headfiers would appreciate such a...

I found another positive impression of the performance of SVS on the headwize forum: http://headwize.com/ubb/showpage.php...id=889&fpage=2 - quote "SVS was a revelation to me" seems like SVS might be a real winner.

Nice info Erik - I'll be looking forward to the review. The SVS system looks very cool indeed. I wonder how long it takes before we see a review from one of us head-fiers. I was once told by a company representative that people were very welcome for a demonstration at the company...

website is comming: http://www.smyth-research.com/

..well, I was thinking that one of these bass shakers e.g. butkicker might give one a good taste of motion effects in a cheap way and provide a nice supplement for the SVS system. I only wish the svs system was cheaper. I am hoping the proffesional svs system will make it easier to showcase...

of interest for those who seek the best headphone surround experience available. See: http://emusician.com/mag/emusic_head_2/ and http://www.ultimateavmag.com/feature...s2/index3.html The product is aimed for the proffesional marked. The price is 3000$. Hopefully someone on...

For a possible great soundstage using any good pair of cans, wait for the SVS technology, do a search for "SVS" - you should find my post on new headphone surround sound technology, it might help you out in the 2-channel department. Unfortunately it will take some time before we can buy it in...

...and while I'm at it, lets not overlook the great potential in the gaming world. Imagine one of the two gaming consoles (PS3 & XBOX360) having SVS and not the other, which one would you prefer?? Anyone with personal relations to Bill Gates or the Sony bosses ?..

Link: http://www.headwize.com/ubb/replypro...fnum=4&tid=889 Most recent news I could find today. short summery (please read the whole thing - its not long) The surround effect created was able to mimic the real speaker surround sound close enough as to trick the listener into confusing...

I heard this about a year ago on my hd600 and was really impressed. I don't think it gets much better than this. Besides it made me believe that in fact headphones might be ideal for listening in surround and I only wish that we could have thr same effect for movies. Having tried dolby...

There will be a demonstration of the smyth virtual surround system (SVS) at CES over the next couple of days, and I'm hoping some of us head-fiers might go for a listen. Supposedly it should be possible to buy a system from the company itself, although it aims for bigger names in the electronics...

So is anyone going to CES? I know CES might not be overly relevant for a head-fier but the SVS system is really something someone ought to check out. The ability to make headphones perform like speakers - the acclaimed potential of making cheaper phones perform on par with more expensive...
