did you already peruse EBay? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC2.A0.H0.Xads+l+710.TRS0&_nkw=ads+l+710&_sacat=0

Problem and instant solution. Nice.

Taken two days ago, is a picture of the trunk of my neighbors palm tree. Not very interesting, I know. About 40 miles behind it though, is what has been called, the Holy Fire, out in Trabuco Canyon. Which was intentionally started by some idiot, who if the story is true, did so, because he was rejected from getting a job with the local fire department.

Ha, a little teak stain, replace the fireplace with a sub, problems solved. 😁

Its not big enough. How about this one instead. Has a nifty fireplace too, for those cold Florida mornings. https://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/fuo/d/very-cool-vintage-stereo/6659146878.html

Congrats on getting the guy to fork over some cash for his lack of care and honesty. Though I have not bought on Audiogon for a number of years, I used to all the time. Good feedback is very important over there and most people will do what it takes to keep in good standing.

Its one thing to box up a big heavy speaker for a long bouncing journey, in a half *** box. Another though, when the item is put on a pallet, shrink-wrapped to it and shipped on its own that way. Much safer. Lets not forget that every speaker anywhere, had to be shipped originally. My own Epics where shipped across country through UPS. The guy basically cocooned them in bubble wrap and built a make shift box around each of them. They survived the journey, almost unscathed. He shipped them with the spikes on, which had all poked through the cardboard, so the boxes were 1" off the ground when I first saw them. I had to laugh when I found out why. Those spikes had a nice case of road rash on them.

A great looking pair of Epics. There are freight companies, that will pick them up, pallet them and then ship them to you. Might be worth making some calls and getting a price for that.

Are you saying that you have these tucked away in another room?

Whoa, very nice! I assume, an east coast view. Who are we looking at?

Having a bit of a heat wave these days. Luckily, I have a little cool running T-amp to use, lit up on the bottom shelf. View from the center seat, my Woman to my left. Oppo 93 playing Melody Gardot on Pandora. Epic CF3's with a touch of green.

My Girl has a built in cappuccino machine, which makes a great cup of coffee. Though we could use the steam attachment, we just use the little whipper instead. Quiter, easier and smoother. Better than steamed, imo. Whip it, with a view.

From what I have read, you have a given sub, tested in open space and it puts out its spec'd. frequency response. Then take the same sub and put it in an enclosed room and the bass response may be boosted in that smaller space and put out deeper stronger bass numbers, called in-room extension. Cool thing about both those companies is that if you call them up or email, you will more often than not, be talking to the owner/ designers. There are also pretty big threads devoted to them over at AVS sub forums.

I would look at subs from Powersoundaudio and Rythmik. Each have subs that are designed to get down into the teens and below, according to their designers. https://www.powersoundaudio.com/pages/subwoofers http://www.rythmikaudio.com

One way to take a cup of coffee up another notch or two, is to Whip it. This is about 2 fingers of 2%, nuked for 30 sec., then whipped and stirred in. Adds body and also a bit more visual appeal, among other things. I have been doing so for years. This particular whip came from Ikea and does the job quite nicely.
