Temptation is a very real aspect of Head-Fi lol. Give in to the WANT!!

Seriously, I considered getting two just to see if I could knock small objects over.

Oh god let my check clear.. I just ordered some Swans M200, this would be SUCH awesome overkill..

Yeah the sub certainly is way too much for my little room. I need a 24'x24'x24' and some 10 foot ceilings for this bastard. It really hits hard.

I wish I could get it, but he's charging $92 shipping to Canada, instead of free. I love this country, but sometimes it's annoying to try and get stuff from down south.

Yeah... a 24' x 24' x 24' room with 10' ceilings would be awful for acoustics.

Like I know lol. No matter. I will learn that bit when I build my next house. For now I am stuck in the basement. It is funny b/c the door that goes upstairs acts like a port and the bass just flows out from it. So really it is a BASSment now.

Um Canada shipping is more b/c he uses FedEx and they only offer overnight and 2-day shipping last time I checked. It was probably more like $160 shipping at least if I tried it. Too bad you are missing out I feel for you.

189 dollars doesn't seem much for at least a very decent subwoofer.

The caps seems to be rubicon? and the brown ones near the transistors/fets are silmics? (brown caps). Good oversized transformer. if any, it looks pretty decent. especially for 189 dollars.

If you want better you'd have to pay at least 500-1000 dollars and the top is way beyond that at 2000 dollars and up.

So, for a moddest setup, it really might be a good deal.

And something else: the OP was mere enthausiastic about his great deal. don't burn him for that!

Thank you. Finally someone that understands.

It is a great deal for a new sub. Especially considering that if I shipped this it would be at least $50 just for east coast.
