I have to wonder if they will actually ship them this time. I ordered one early when they advertised them last time only to get an email 3 weeks later telling me that they never arrived from their supplier and that my order was cancelled, with not as as an apology for making me wait for 3 weeks...

Brandon, there's no problem running the VC's in parallel. I have been running my dual HE 15 that way for about a year and the Crown hasn't even whimpered. I've heard of some guys running the Crown's down to below 1 ohm without problems, but I don't want to be the person to recommend it.

Yup, I'm the guy who uses 5 Crest VS-900's in my system, 6 channels to biamp my front 3 speakers and the other 4 channels for my sides and rears. And then I use a Crown K2 for my dual HE 15 subwoofer :) Well, the K2 is the single best amp I have owned to date, as it provides 1250 wpc to each of...

Thanks Brian and Jeff! I'm just a little bit worried about buying any Craftsman power tools, even if it is just a dust collector. I have successfully killed every Craftsman power tool I have ever owned, but if you guys really think it's a good idea, I just might give it a try.

Since there has been a significant amount of discussion about routers lately, I thought I would share a good find with everybody. Right now you can get the DeWalt DW621R router (refurbished) from Amazon.com for $149.99. This is a 2 hp plunge router with a built in dust collection system. Here is...

I own 5 Crest VS-900's and I think they are great! I biamp my front three speakers, and power each of my four surrounds with the 10 channels I have available. And then I use a Crown K2 for my subwoofer :)

Wow, yet another entry in the high excursion arena. We already had the Stryke HE series, then the Blueprint 03 series, and now the Adire Brahma series. Things are really looking good for the DIY subwoofer builders!

Hi guys, Well, I'm glad to see so many people joining in on the topic! You guys have got some great tools, and I soon plan on owning several of them myself. :) As far as my table saw goes, I have the model G1022ZF, which includes the Shop Fox fence. This fence alone makes the table well...

Last night a friend of mine came over to help with a small wall patch job (I just put in a heating loop/zone in my theater), and I happened to notice that he was using a DeWalt 18 volt 3/8" cordless drill. I used it for awhile and found it very comfortable, with gobs of power compared to my...

Thanks, Thomas, I was hoping you would chime in, as I know that you have been building speakers and subs for many years, and thus have a lot of experience in the same arena of work that I am engaging. You must have chuckled a bit when you read how I have been destroying cheap tools and looking...

Sal, that is a very thorough and excellent reply! You have given me a wealth of information, and just as important, places to search for it. I will certainly heed your advice and research my options before making any further mistakes by buying inferior tools. I will also be sure to check out...

Hi guys, Since it looks like I will be building speaker cabinets and subwoofers for some time to come, I figure that I should invest in some decent power tools. The Craftsman, Skil, Black and Decker tools that I already own are dying one by one, and I would like to replace them with better...

Sorry, Randy, I don't mean to alarm you, but I have already had this happen to me once (though it was only a $600 set). Since then, aesthetics has always been second to functionality for me. I like things to look good, too, but not at the price it cost me last time. That's why I built this flexy...

Why no support in the front center? I made a rack that is 44" wide and 16" deep out of 3/4" MDF (one sheet, and Home Depot will even cut it up for you), 36" high, with 6 shelves. I used six 5/8" rods for supports placed in the four corners, middle front, and middle back, and then mounted the...

I bought a used K2 in mint condition for $800, but those deals are few and far between. I also missed a few other used ones for around $900, but since you guys seem serious about buying one, I will be sure to let you know when another deal pops up. BTW, $1100 to $1150 is about right for a new...

Ok, I just did a quick check on the web. The $28,000 price is correct. Such a bargain!

quote: How much does the MRS cost? About $48,000 MSRP, including the internal 2600 watt amp and equalization circuitry. Edit: Hmmm, I just saw Thomas's figure of $28,000, but I recall the rep giving me a figure of $48,000. Even if we go with Thomas' cheap price, it is one of the most...

quote: Its linear displacement approaches that of dual HE15's, and it's got a very impressive Xmech, so I'd expect it to be almost impossible to bottom. Yup, that's what I figured, too. One single 18" driver the approximate equal of two HE 15's....now that's some serious output! I think you...

Wow, Jack, your twin Tempest IB did that? I guess I did the right thing by putting my home theater in the basement, where I am surrounded by 12" thick concrete, heh? :) I am anxious to find out what alignments work out the best for the 1803's, and to find out what you guys think of the quality...

Hi guys! I'm glad to see people getting excited about the prospect of using a high quality driver like the 1803 :) Since I own 3 of the popular 15" drivers around, I thought I might just give a quick "visual impression" rating (and it is "apples to apples", since they are all the same size)...

Thanks again, Thomas! I too already have 2 of the 1503's in my hands since about 3 weeks ago, and I agree with Thomas' assessment (well put, Thomas!). I've simply been trying to decide how I am going to use them. I was all set to start on a pair of AS15's, but now that I know about the Krell...
