He says he has original packaging so I am guessing he is willing to ship. And he also doesn't have gear very long. So I am guessing they are close to new. Worth a shot to save a bit used on a sub you like. Your welcome to come down to my house to hear and feel 20hz tO see f it's what you want to spend 1000$ on. In fact I encourage it. Let me know if you'd like to come down on a weekend. I don't do to much as I am saving money to move in november.

well you have better deals than we do here, I had a few minutes tonight so I did some quick scans on searchtempest.com

Paradigm dsp-3400 v2 good quality sub for $500 should work great in your setup

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ele/3240651555.html

SVS PB2 PLUS (2 12's downfiring) $600 great sub I had the newer version at one point

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/ele/3249991905.html

SVS PC13 ULTRA $850 Should preform great right behind the pb13 ultra version svs's top tier sub, I'd probably take this sub over the other svs since output should be pretty close

Rythmik F15 sealed sub $775 not much of a discount, but should be a good preformer none the less

Thanks,

Terry

Hey,

Wow, thank you so much. I never even knew about searchtempest. Found my new classified search engine. I have been just going through craigslist directly.

Thank you,

Terry

I would call on the pc-13 ultra in a heartbeat. I almost was gonna drive up and get that thing about a month ago. But he told me he had a buyer. Guess he flaked out. You should snag that one up. No research needs to be done. It is a phoenominal sub!

Heyo,

I just messaged the guy in Vegas about the SVS PC13. I like how its a cylinder - takes up less room. I will let you know how it goes

Thanks,

Terry

actually, my cheapest HGS15 was $200. i have already contacted the guy in florida about that one for $350. it needs repair. he sent it off to velodyne, amp checked out great but woofer needs to be replaced. i called velodyne parts and the replacement driver is $600. IMO, $950 is not a good buy for a 10 yr old sub.

If you’re cool buying used a svs pc-13 ultra is a monster. They
are two grand for a reason the quality of parts used on the box version (I own
one and haven’t seen the pc) is as good as I have ever seen. Look at this 13.5”
driver that’s in that sub.

The Empire's two drivers have a surface area equivalent to roughly a 21 inch driver. However, we have TWO motors driving the cones in parallel instead of a single motor. Instead of asking one driver to work very hard, we let a pair of driver’s coast through the most torturous of playback materials. Speed, sound quality, explosive dynamics and effortlessness are the name of the game.

So i ended up getting the HSU RESEARCH VTF-15H, i just placed the order :) I wanted to go down to Vegas to get that SVS PC13, but i just didn't have the time to dedicate 10 + hours to driving.I was going back and forth between the Epik Empire and the VTF-15H, since they were so similar, the aesthetics sold me on the VTF-15H.

I also ordered a RC-52 center. I wanted to get the RC-62, but the place where it goes is only 7" tall, and i had to compromise with my lady who doesn't want to see any more speakers :). I tried saying i would wall mount the tv and just put it on the cabinet where the tv currently rests, or i could mount the center above the tv, but both ploys failed.



When i get everything in and setup, i will get a picture of all the magical goodness along with a few words (hopefully ecstatic words).



I want to thank you all in the community, you were all amazing and very helpful. I know so much more about subs then i ever thought i would without picking up at least one book.



Thank you again,

Terry

Hello all,

as promised, a picture of the new speakers :)

I plan to move the sub in the near future to get better sound distribution, but this way all the glorious speakers are seen.

I love the new speakers, they sound soo nice. The sub has the power to fill the room wile not overpowering everything.

Next on the list might be some new back speakers. Wish me luck.

BTW is there an easier way than writing html to get a picture in here?

Thank, you all again,

Terry

Heyo,

yeah i went with the rc-52, or more accurately the rc-52 II since it seemed difficult to find the first generation.

I was able to pick up the sub since HSU is local in southern california. I was stoked since it was 140 in shipping. I ordered the center from Amazon and it shipped from Vegas, lucky me.
