I've been interested in this sub since I saw it more than a month ago. Problem is there is no option for balanced inputs. I know you've said that you will not separate the amp from the sub, and so respectfully I have not queried you. However, I felt that it had now spent time-enough you may be considering other options? If so, I would like to know your thoughts.
Right now I am looking at lots of super-subs, but I'm open to other things. Your sub would join the "wildcards". From another post I just made:
"So it's looking to be a decision between the REL G1 (or the REL G2 if I'm patient...doubtful
)
...or the Velodyne DD+/JLA Fathom (they seem so close it would prob just come down to best used-price)
...or (wildcards here) Legacy Audio Xtreme HD, Krell Resolution Subwoofer, Dali Euphonia AS-2."
Below is the "in window" tag/signature I'm adding to my first eight posts or so, just to let the community here get to know me. Feel free to ask for more if I've not told you the best factoids:
About me and my system:
I have wanted a real system most of my life, am 32 and am only just now purchasing my first system. Previously I've owned only $250 Walmart boom boxes. I got rid of my car, live above work and with the money I'm saving...Now I have a pair of BG Radia 520s (the original version--briefly dubbed 520DX), a matching 220 center, a pair of Acoustic Technology's Classic Series 3" single-drivers, am looking at a Bryston 2-Speaker Switching Unit and/or a Luxman 3-way (the AS-55), am looking at a REL G1 sub (or Velodyne DD+ or JLA Fathom for the room-correction), have a Cary Audio CAA-1 Amp, am wanting to purchase a Cairn KO-2, am looking at Jungson WG 80watt pure-A Power Amp (also called Hedo and Caprio), am wanting to purchase a pair of EVS balanced ultimate attenuators, am (for now) taking the Audio Critic route of 'Radio Shack philosophy' cabling, am waiting for the Outlaw Audio 978, am considering the Oppo 95 (region/zone free), am considering the HRT Music-Streamer Pro (but the MSII+ just received a major upgrade and it looks like the "pro" will be a step-down until it is likewise upgraded--and apparently the company is in no rush to do so), am looking at a Metrum Acoustics Octave (but really want to wait for a balanced version--I've decided to go balanced from the start), am about to undertake 5-9k in soundproofing equipment to build a room-within-a-room in my apartment (and about 1k in power-tools to do it), am looking at getting some Vienna Acoustics Schonberg speakers, considering a GoldPoint amp and source switch-boxes, stands for my center channel already bought, I essentially have cable-isolators (because the ones I've seen look just like these huge ceramic pieces used on electrical poles--and after Hurricane Ike a few came into my apartment--neat!)...All of this I will be posting about, but here I am.
I have literally nothing hooked-up yet...and won't until more pieces are together, so still not for about 2-3 months. Sucks to wait.
PS: Had a great experience so far purchasing from Matrixdude, Lakenorman and RenoHifi (Mark) both off Audiogon; Just sending out my appreciation!
PPS: I'm not an emoticon guy. Maybe I should get over that already...
PPPS: @ nicksgem10s: Your sub is a wonderfully accomplished project; I'm jealous at the beautiful thing you have wrought!
