Can't really fault SVS though -- I have two of their cylinder subs (which I foolishly thought would be less conspicuous than the boxes, and then they turned out to be the size of fucking oil drums) and objectively way too much bass. Which is kinda fun.
Feel the same way. I go back and forth between both depending on the material and whether or not I can be arsed to get up to fetch the other set of headphones.
Pitched 5 big tents (yesterday) for my daughter's girl scout campout, then struck them (today) and now airing them before packing them away. It was intense and my, not tentative, intent is to never again deal with tents to any extent.
If it's out of warranty you're going to pay either way and probably wait a long time. Servicing is the dirty secret of the whole industry. Breitling's web site says $160 for maintenance and $430 for a complete overhaul, so don't go for much more than that.
