  1. Build a man cave! I don't get much crap anymore.
  2. New Price. $5,000 + shipping.
  3. You won't regret it. They sound awesome. The terminals around the fuse rattled on all of my cabs, i added a couple homemade gaskets and cured the problem. The clarity and dynamics on these are better than anything I've heard to date. My room has proven to be sound proof enough for every other setup I've had but I think with this I could get the police to come say Hi.
  4. Yes they are. got all 8 from Tim.
  5. Trying 3 stack out. Sounds great but can't unleash it tonight.
  6. This may be true. My girlfriend definitely thinks so!
  7. I just picked up 4 more mwm single bins, so now I have 8. I have a few placement options that I'm going to try out. Option 1. Move my tv and audio rack and put another 2 stacks side by side. So it would be the width of 4 mwm's stacked 2 high. It would have to toe the ones in the middle alittle to make them fit though but then I wouldn't have to move the 402 horn from the corners. Option 2. Stack 3 bins in each corner with 402 on top. Put the remaining 2 bins sideways next to them. Option 3. Stack 4 bins in each corner and put the 402 next to the bins. I have no idea if this would sound good. I would have to make a base for the 402 so it would be lvl with listening position. Option 4. Stand 2 mwm's sideways on each side next to the stacked bins I have in the corners now. I would have to move my tv stand and either wall mount it or put it on top of my audio rack, either is fine. The 402 would stay where it is now. Once I'm done Duratexing all the bins I will set them up in each configuration and take pics to get advise wich way I will get the best sound and of course see what my ears tell me.
  8. I've owned a couple pairs of Chorus 2 over the years and loved them. I have only heard the Cornwall 3 at a dealer a few years ago when I was considering buying a pair. Unfortunately they didn't sound as good as I was hoping so I passed. Not a fair comparison I know, but I was impressed years prior with the Chorus 2 at the dealer and bought them on the spot.
  9. Any way to adjust the angle of the 402 horn up and down like the factory version with the stand you made?
  10. Wow, and my Girlfriend thinks I have a problem.. this is awesome, if I had the means to i would do something on this scale.

    K691 Drivers

    When I bought Jubilee's last year I never used an active crossover so I had Crites make me some passives, his crossover is designed around Faital pro drivers so I had to get those at the same time. I'm using an active crossover now and never felt the need to put the k691's back in, so the k691's have zero hours on them other than when Chris A used them for a week to come up with Xilica settings for them on the 402. Mike.
  12. K691 Compression drivers. Very low hours on them, like new Condition. $300+ shipping. Location, Maine. Mike.
  13. I had a similar experience when I got my Sony 5400ES. Every cd sounded so much better.
  14. I wouldn't buy one unless it has tone controls.
  15. I'd love to get an 1802 or even a 1502. Problem is, I have 3 very narrow doorways to get things of that size into my cave. If it wasjust one doorway I'd make it bigger.
  16. I am definitely getting at least 2 subs once I decide on wich ones to get. I've been advised Tuba subs are the way to go but I want to do alittle more research before I pull the trigger. I want to avoid having to upgrade subs down the road. Right now the 402 and Faital hf20at sound very good, if I keep it 2way I will most likely get TAD'S or another beryllium type driver. If adding a 510 and tweeter could top 402/TAD combo I would be inclined to go in that direction. Mike.
  17. Yes I do! I plan to have 2 subs made this spring/summer, probably Tuba's. I would still like a couple more mwm's to complete my system. The subs will probably be crossed very low so I don't think they will add much chest thumping bass.
  18. Ya There is enough room to put the tv on top of a Jube bin. That's a possible option.
  19. I recently got mwm bins so I took the 402 from my jubes to use with them. I'm extreamly happy with them but my jube bins have just been sitting here unused and I'd like to integrate them back into my system. In the past I have tried blending different speakers together with very poor results, they always sounded like they where competing with each other rather than complimenting each other. Will I run into the same problem if I try to use them both together? One of my issues will be placement. The way I see it is I have 4 options. 1. Move my tv and audio rack and put the Jube bins between the mwm/402. 2. Piggy back the jube bins on top of the mwm's, they will fit and would also have the benifit of being back in a corner but the 402 horn would be directly in front of the jube bin. This could cause problems? 3. Put the jube bins back in the corners with 402 and move the mwm bins between the jubes where my tv and audio rack is now. 4. Put the jube bins on the opposite wall on either side of my couch. 5. Sell the jube bins and get a couple more mwm's It will be alot of work moving these huge bins around a bunch of times to find best placement so any suggestions before I give myself a hernia? Out of those options I like the idea of stacking the jube bins on top of the mwm's because I think the bass would blend the best, but I could be completely wrong. Here's a couple pics of my room.
  20. I'd also like to know how those Radians compair to other drivers. I'd like to get some beryllium drivers but i really don't want to pay 3-4 grand for used TAD's. I'm using Faital HF20AT drivers now and like them alot.
