Damn right they do! My Cornwalls were picked up for a steal there couple years back!
Scrappy you're just a hop skip and a jump away, Kansas City can be my backyard St. Louis can be yours.

Congratulations, Timdog!!! Some very good things happen in St. Louis.
Thank you sir, I agree. Were no Florida yet, but there's more competition down there Youth is on it, like Bluebonnet!

Here's a couple pics of the craigslist ad.

Last spring I bought a PB 12 ultra/2, I have been very pleased with it but have been searching for another to smooth out bass response. I search twice-daily or more my local craigslist, AVS forum, SearchTempest, and of course our humble forum. I've come across a few but always too late or when I don't have the money. Last Thursday I came across a PB 12+/2 outside of Dallas, it was posted 20 min before I called and I wound up being first in line. It's a little bit of a haul from St. Louis but he only wanted $250 for it so it was definitely worth the trip to me. The gentleman called me back later that day and said it had been sold, I was a little surprised because I was the first to call but I guess he didn't want to wait till the next day for me to drive down. Oh well, no reason to cry over spilled milk but I was a little bummed out. Friday I was back to trolling for subs and came across an ad for 2 -PB 12+/2 one for $500 or both for $875. It had been posted seven hours before I responded, it did have a phone number but it was already 11:30 PM. I responded three or four times within five minutes leaving phone numbers and asking him to call me ASAP I didn't care how later how early. The next morning he called me and said only one other person was interested but he lived in California and he did not want to ship preferably. Saturday I spoke with him numerous times but had other plans that I could not break and went there Sunday morning at 8am to pick them up. My wife is not a fan of the piano gloss and I would've liked to have had black oak myself but they were really pretty no scratches pristine looking subs that I couldn't tell he took meticulous care of and barely even had on. He was a very nice gentleman who is only selling them because he just purchased two PB 13 ultras. I did not get to stay as long as I would've liked I needed to be back to pick up my wife for church at 9:30. When I got in the room and sat down he handed me a booklet of papers with all his movies in alphabetical order and told me to pick some for demo. It was coincidental he happen to have an RF-7ii 7.2 system so we had a lot in common. It's always good to be able to talk to someone in person who has this hobby we have, I don't come across to many people like that in my area. He had been to the forum before but never posted or looked around much. I got the subs home and texted Scrappy and asked him some suggestions for placement of these three beasts, I had a similar idea to what he suggested but was glad to confirm it with someone who knows much more than I, I'm a hack at best. I put them in that first position and have not moved them yet, haven't had a whole lot of time to play with them the past two days. I will really be able to some serious listening this weekend. I can tell you this though, I have had a smile on my face from ear to ear since yesterday afternoon!! I'll post some pics and some more impressions when I have more time to listen.

Regarding potential RF-7II / RC-64II replacements, they might be a way off according to one of Alex's posts over on AVS.
Thanks for the link!

I'm wondering when they will redo the RF 7ii, I remember reading on the CES 2015 thread that they would be sticking around but I'm pretty sure ultimately it said they would be replaced. oh well, can't be worried about replacing speaks I'm still trying to get my second sub, been trolling craigslist and SearchTempest 3-4 or more times daily for quite a while now thanks to one of our fine moderators who shall remain nameless. It rhymes with Moothman
I'm looking forward to your review as well Scrappy, -
I purchased a Yamaha Aventage RX A1010 A couple years back and I have been extremely happy with it for my 7.1 System. It does accommodate two subs unfortunately I only have one right now. I could also take the zone two channels and have nine channels but haven't messed with any of that yet. Especially since the amp that is plugged in is 200 x 7 I'll have to find me another B and K.

Someone had mentioned the MTV unplugged series, those are really great recordings.
The rooster from Alice in chains DVD is really exceptional, I'm also a big fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn Tinpan Alley a.k.a. (The roughest place I've ever seen )sounds freaking awesome live and recorded. There is one version with a drum that simulates the gunshot I hear it on Pandora occasionally but I cannot find it on iTunes.

Dang, just realized the bentonville area for the speakers is Klipschland nearby.

Thanks, theyre older subs and I would've liked to of tried 15's or 18s but I did not want to pass these up I can always sell them and try something different.
