I like it a lot. Very tuneful (it's not a one-note-wonder thumpbox). I bought it off CL already assembled for $200. The previous owner had bought it as a kit. From what I understand, it's dead simple to assemble.

Have the same sub, and you're right...even I could assemble it.

Only problem I've had was the plate amp died, not too sure it was ever 100% in the 1st place.

Replaced it with the OEM amp, thought about getting the one with the 3DB boost and I'm glad I didn't. It now fills the lower end of the Hornshoppes in nicely and isn't boomy at all.

Get a pair of Threes, they'll do 28hz! according to Richard Vandersteen. It's a awe inspiring experience putting a 30hz test tone, vertical biamped GFA555s(one for each speaker) and turning it up to about 30%, pictures jump off the wall, beer bottles start walking across the coffee table and the wife starts screaming earthquake, earthquake! In no uncertain terms, Patty(wife) told me what would happen if I pulled that stunt again. She would sell them for peanuts at the divorce liquidation audio sale....

i use a pair of McIntosh 501's for the main system with B&W 803d's.

Been saving for years for the Wilson Sash Watt Puppies but with the state of healthcare in this country they got further away the last few years.

What a delightful room.

But it's too sterile. What you need is another wife to pile every level surface full of worthless nic nacs. And a half filled slurpee cup stuck to the top of one of those Macs would for sure give it that "homey" look.
