WOW!!

from a former +2 owner. . .Now I have the isd2 and love it too. . .

I bought my isd2 the last of Feb/early March this year and wanted another +2 but they were back ordered. At the time I was told they were experiencing a few issues with the old driver. I do not know if those issues were availability, function or service. My understanding was (rightly or not) that there were warrenty issues from a bad run of drivers. However in typical SVS style it looks like they came through just fine. . .Now I got the hots for another +2 if for no other reason than to check it out. . .

I have had their passive 2039, the Pb12+2, the isd10 and now the isd2. . . I was absolutly thrilled with every one of them. . . I am finding the isd2 to be just right for my room. . .

how did the plus/2 sound comparing to your isd/2 now? any major different?

The +2 has more energy, punchier (in a good way) very clean and detailed for a subwoofer, no shortage of volume while the isd2 (mine anyway) is my soft spoken friend who is always there when I need him. The isd2 just does what it's supposed to do without fanfare. Sometimes I find myself wondering if she's there until a good bass note comes along and that thought leaves quickly.

The isd2 just sounds different, not bad, actually in some ways I like it more. I hate what I am fixing to say but it is more musical to me that the +2. . . I also had the 2039 with the same driver only a single, also a good sub but in my mind the isd2 sounds different than the 2039 too. . . better. . .

If I could have any sub that SVS built it would be hard to choose between the +2 and the isd2, forget about the Ultra. . we all know it is the king. . .

Drifting a little bit off subject, SVS will be allowing plus owners a chance to upgrade their 12 inch speakers to the new 12.3 version for $99 soon. They are also going to allow you to retain your old driver to use as you wish. SVS's offer can be read here:

They never cease to amaze me. . .

[malikarshad]

Its an awesome news and I'm thrilled by it. I have PB2+ and i would be glad to upgrade it rather than buying an Ultra

I wonder if us non-plus owners could upgrade?

I have the PCI 25-31 (tuned to 22)

So far, non-plus owners are not going to be considered in the special upgrade deal. I am sure that you will be able to buy the speaker for $300+, but so far the $99 deal is for plus owners only.

RS is hinting at a new ISD driver shortly and there have been numerous questions about the viability of using the 12.2 drivers in the ISD tubes and boxes...no replies yet.

[gyusher]

It's called the "NSD" driver. . . Check it out. . .

[Holydoc]

As quoted directly from Tom Vodhanel of SVS Research and Development division:

Don't hold me to this...but I believe we will offer the NSD for $79 for a limited time. You could very likely sell the ISD driver for about the same amount to a DIYer(maybe even more?)...it(the isd) is a very good driver with about 15-16mm of clean excursion. Both the $99 plus12.3 upgrade and the $79NSD upgrade will be for a limited time(probably 30 days---starting in 4-6 weeks). We are definitely losing money on each one of these. So while we want to "take care of" past customers...we cannot support these prices indefinitely..:)

Someone please post in this thread or start a new one if you notice the time has come for our $99 sub upgrade. I will definately purchase the upgraded sub (and post any improvements I do/don't hear).

I was bummed when I heard that an ultra driver would not fit in my sub....

Im going to be all over that NSD driver...lol

Next thing I will need to do is build an ISD DIY Subwoofer... ;)

Anyone that replaces their ISD driver with the new one and want to sell it...

I call absolute dibs.

I want to build a PB2 ISD

[criverajr]

Hey Sid,

I will keep you posted when I update my isd-10, I will only charge what I get the new one for. Get your DIY building on!

No word yet on the 10" ISD driver. They have only brought the 12" in house, to my knowledge. The 10" ISD is so good it's hard to improve :D .

[VR3]

Nah I dont need/want the 10 - but I do want a 12...

Ditto (on the 12") Its yours if you want it Sid. :)

Well, assuming the one selling it is upgrading their current sub to the new driver, I am semi expecting a "good" price on the ISD driver I do buy...

So keep that in mind. ;)

[wallstreet]

Yep, I just had to order myself the mighty midget 25-31 to finish off the HT. :D I'm in the hopeless state of waiting for the damn thing to arrive.

Same boat. Though I ordered mine with the optional 22hz port for a little more extension. Very excited!:D

[Grimster74]

Does anyone know if/when SVS will start the Plus upgrade option to the 12.3 for $99. Haven't really followed this but I'm always looking to urgrade something.

[Holydoc]

Near the end of the month is the predicted time for the upgrade option.

[dipiazza]

This is pretty F-in sweet. Id love to upgrade my 20-39PCi driver with that new NSD... for $79??? you cant go wrong!

[Ron Temple]

The Plus sub used to be the sweet spot of the SVS line, being (subjectively)far better than the ISD and almost as good as the Ultra. Now with the improved NSD driver that may change. ISD/NSD = greatly improved, Plus 12.2/12.3 = moderately improved. The current Ultra is a moderate improvement over the 12.3. I guess we'll need to stay tuned regarding the new Ultra.
