Anybody have pics of the Dedicated subwoofer with the 626R?

OK, I'm going to make an embarrasing confession.

While I've been perusing the VMPS forums and website for the last year and a half, and I've seen references to a "dedicated" sub, I never realized that was the name of an actual product. I thought the term was being used to mean a sub "dedicated" to a particular speaker, like a sub used to supplement the bass of the right main, etc. I've also uncovered a few posts by people like John Casler mentioning that the Dedicated Sub could be used as a stand for the 626R. Has anybody got a picture showing that configuration? I'd like to see what the Dedicated Sub looks like. And I guess a setup with a 626R on top of the Dedicated Sub could be similar to what some people are suggesting for DIY designs, right?

Anyway, if anybody has a picture, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Like rarest of flowers, there's only a drawing of it.

Thanks.

I saw that picture before I posted and hoped to get something real. Those rare flowers are elusive.

By the way, vmpseurope is your site, right? If so, excellent pictures! I thought, though, that I'd seen some pics of the RM2 with the FST. Anyway, very nice stuff.

Now, if I can only find some pics of the 626R on a Dedicated Sub...

Thanks for your nice comments wshuff. Subwoofer page is now updated with a new pic of Dedicated. I hope it's even more elusive than previous one.

great pics dubravko! Is that full wrap on the dedicated sub pic? I am assuming it is the same upcharge as with the main speakers and it looks very worthwhile!

Thanks! That's what I was wanting to see.

I've got a "dedicated sub" at home I use in our secondary HT setup, alon with a QSO 626SE center channel( relatively same cabinet size as 626R?). If you're curious about scale, I'll set the 626 on the sub and post a pic here for you tonight...

Cool! I'd like to see that.

Good picture.

What is the vibration situation with this configuation?

I'm unable to answer that as I use the 626 on a home-made stand for a center channel, while the Dedicated Sub is in another room altogether.

However, the cabinet of the dedicated is very structrually sound (like any other VMPS cabinet) and there isn't much vibration on the top surface. I'd say a couple of thin pieces of foam between the 626 and the sub would keep any lateral movement of the 626 due to vibration under control.

Thanks for posting the pic. That's exactly what I was wanting to see.
