It's decent. A little boomy for my liking. Good for movies, not for music. You probably won't find a better subwoofer for $150
Okay, I'm music only with the sub, so thats helpful. Thanks!

There's a neat and clean solution to your problem:

Wow, that's a long wait. I am former to the utility industry and they are years out in bringing new lines to people to upgrade their power, so I bet this is in that same vein. Also, I feel like people get crazy with this stuff and wonder if their $150k system is 150x better than mine. Maybe I need to listen to a HIGH end system, but I have a hard time believing that it's THAT much better.........

Is this a good subwoofer?

I know what you mean about the outliers but I don't judge that. The numbers are the numbers, nothing personal.
Could you add a little info about your LS's? s/n if you have that, year, finish, condition, and in what region or town were they bought. Thanks! -Dave
Pics attached. I bought them in Portland, OR. Condition was really good. Couple scratches and just a teensy bit of the bichbplywood peeling on one back corner.

As a data point I bought my LS1 for $1000. I would certainly call thay price an outlier though from the prices I have seen since purchasing them.

An audiophile once told me that making sure your feetsies are nice an toasty allows you to get deeper into the music with intent and focus! They had a different pair of socks they used for listening to each different amp! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Limberpine, for some reason it says that I'm allowed to send 0 messages per day, haha. Anyone know why this is happening?
Sent you a DM.

Yup! Dm me and I will give you my phone number and we can chat.

So, I took some advice from another person that fixed their velodyne and I used some plumbers putty to reseal the woofer to the box in hopes of stopping any air leaks. It didn't get rid of ALL the popping noises, but if did get rid of most of them to where its very intermittent with regards to the popping. So, I may try to tighten it down some more or maybe even run some new beads of wood glue across the seams of the box on the interior to see if that helps too. So, yeah! Not dead yet! Which is great!

Tubes
in Garage Sale
I was given a box of tubes and it turns out that there is nothing I can use in the lot, so I offer them up to the community here!
Free, you just pay shipping and I will send them to you.
Attached is a spreadsheet of what I have and to keep it fair, please PM me what you want and we can work out shipping costs and details.
Thanks!

Pic of my room. Things are shaping up! Need to work on some sound dampening, but this new orientation is sounding pretty rad. Also, need to readjust the art. Haha!

let's see if these speakers will sell
I'm sure they will. I have been seeing people ask crazy prices for them locally and the ads don't seem to last long, cept that set of La Scalas that they want $4500 for! Those haven't sold, but they've come down about $1000 already. 🤣

Not affiliated, but I think I will try the "Collector" nomenclature in hope of commanding a premium for my goods in the future.........

Yeah, prices here in Portland are crazy too. Guess I'm glad I got a good deal on some Cornwalls and some La Scalas. It's been suggested that we replace the Cornwalls with something smaller, but its hard to do so when Fortes and Heresy are running so close in cost to what I paid for the Cornwalls.

Needs some love
New to Tubes
in Talkin' Tubes

Yeah, there seems to be a time later at night, when a lot of the appliances and lights are off that the music just opens up and I have a hard time discerning if its the electronics or the tube warm up time.
I've thought about unplugging everything except the fridge and dishwasher and listening to see what its like then, but I would def need my GF to not be home, cause she wouldn't like that.
