CAS Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 That's the Krell Master Sub with dual 15" drivers and a 1" thick aluminum enclosure. It could probably break your subfloor (if not by the bass then by it's weight!). I've spoken to this seller and he would take $20,000 but it't not worth the full price in my opinion. I really don't think it would probably provide $20,000 worth of low frequencies, but it is extremely versatile. I doubt you could find an application that it wouldn't handle well.

TheEAR Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 The Krell MRS,the most potent compact subwoofer on earth.In its size there is nothing like it,monster amp enclosed with dual 15" TC Sounds heavy duty long throw woofers(3 inches peak to peak per woofer!).This thing is brutal,the asking price even more. If I win the lottery I buy four of these for my improved HT system. And throw my mediocre HGS18,SW12,B15,Signature and RSW15 out the door...not really but I will keep them to help my alarm clock wake me up better.

prodj101 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I once used my 2.1 system (RSW-15 and RF-5's) as an alarm clock....the ipod has a built in one so I set it and had the preamp set a bit too high...near heart attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake_mooney Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 wow what a waist of money. the klipsh pro media 5.1 ultra's are all i'll ever need . as far as home theater subs, the klipsh RSW 15 is more then anyone could ever ask for imho....

Dustin B Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 That sub goes way way past the point of diminishing returns. Go to a custom build shop like Acoustic Visions or Rutledge Audio and they'll build you a clone of that thing with Adire Tumults, 1.5" thick baltic birch enclosure (will need to be a little bigger than the Krell) and a sweet veneered finish. Add a high power Crown or QSC amp and some appropriate pro audio piece to get you all the filters and EQ you need and you'll have a sub just as, if not more capable for ~1/4 the cost. Oh and there's no way that thing will do 120dB in room at the bottom of the last octave. Not gonna happen(unless you room is a closet). Something like the Acoustic Visions Everest might come close at the bottom of the last octave in room though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretexpretzels Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 How much would this demolish something like an SVS B4+ with the biggest Crown amps it can handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 incredible sub, yet SVS B4 is as good for a lot less money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 below 31.5Hz the B4-Plus powered by a potent amd bests a MRS!No matter how beefy the amp the MRS is a sealed design,notice the 3 inch cone travel claim is...PEAK TO PEAK.And not linear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankhokie Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 curious, peak to peak vs linear? what is the difference in terms. Thanks for the 30 sec education Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 In use a woofer will never reach peak to peak,as this hitting the limits the cone can travel both ways.Mostly suspension travel,unless the woofer is not well designed and the VC hits the magnetic structure when going backwards. Peak to peak is stated to impress the crowd and sell. You always have a higher peak to peak than linear.And linear should be used to measure true displacement,not peak to peak.As I said no woofer unless pushed beyond its designed will match its peak to peak cone travel in real use.Even abuse Linear travel is what is important,yes you need a higher peak to peak to leave some cushion.If not you will run into problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
