Happy New Year!
This week we interview Gary Yacoubian, President and CEO of SVS, and Nick Brown, Vice President of Marketing for SVS:
– https://www.svsound.com/
Naturally, we discuss subwoofers, going back to the introduction of the SVS flagship 16-Ultra Series, and following the path that led to the 4000 Series, 3000 Series, and now the newest 2000 Pro Series. We dig into some details you won’t hear covered anywhere else. And get some exciting hints about what might be coming next!
But we don’t stop there. We talk about SVS Prime and Ultra Series speakers, including the Prime Pinnacle Towers and Prime Wireless products. And outside of products, we learn about the business side of things, sales strategies, and customer service.
It’s a fun, educational, and exciting hour of conversation. So we hope you enjoy it. And we’ll be back next week to answer your home theater and A/V questions for the first time in 2020!
