I don't mind looking silly. Some people prefer a fixed pricing scheme. (Saturn Owners). But I don't; and the sad thing is there really WAS opportunity for negotiation... As you indicate the M200's do give you a discount for the more you buy... Which I didn't know when I called...
Albert, you basically have it right: here's the whole story (as I see it): I had decided on the M-200 Monoblocks: but they were just a tad above my price range. I called Outlaw up, only to be told (rather rudely and arrogantly) "we don't negotiate on price... ever" I was willing to...
In defense of Outlaw (for you outlaw owners out there)... My Customer Service expectations are always very high. I probably would have gotten great service from them, if this were a technical issue or a warranty call.... (I've heard that Outlaw is great in this reguard). In reality, I...
The used one was listed at 1600 or so (see Audiogon) I decided it was worth it to me to buy it Retail because of warranty. (not to worry, I got a good deal still) It's all done, I ordered the Sherbourn today! I also ordered some Cobalt Cable interconnects... we'll see how they do as...
Well, I have an update: I called outlaw, and since they were unwilling to negotiate on their price *at all*... and their salesperson was less than nice, I will go with the Sherbourn (whose sales people have been more than helpful, curious about my system and needs, etc.) So, now I have...
Yah, Sherbourn is a nice idea: but the appeal of mono-blocks to me is that if one fails, you send the 1 back... for repair. If 1 of the sherbourn internally fails, I'm shipping the 100lb package!!! Harlan
Please help me choose the best Amp for my situation: I have a Denon 3802 (will be the pre-pro), Speakers are: Diva by Swans 6.1 (front) 2.1(rear) C3 (center) R3 (surround)... These baby's can suck the juice! Which Amp is best for me? Please consider that most important to me is which is...
Jeff, Well, we tried it out this weekend... not sure what my expectations were... but at first: I was worried. I could barely hear my test tone from my denon 3802!!! But then, I realized the room was shaking... Wow, the low lows were loud LOUD LOOOOUUUUDDD. During Star Wars Ep. 1; my...
You asked! I answered!

Hank, I asked and recieved 24" diameter. The piece is marked.... and when I measured. Outer Diameter is 25.5", inner diamter ~25" Well, I spent yesterday (8 hours) working on "the Project" as my wife likes to call it. After buying more MDF, I re-routed the top. again, my inner MDF circle was...
My 290L 24" Sonotube Subwoofer project is starting to bum me out...
First, does anyone have ~21" of 6"diameter PVC for my port? I really don't want to buy 10feet of PVC... but I will. Otherwise, anyone know any place in Austin that'll sell 21" worth?
Next, I had a problem this weekend...
Thanks for asking Jeff. I actually struggled a bit to cut the massive 24" sonotube: but I got it done. That was all I got done: because I havn't found a Plunge Router I like that is affordable yet... Also, I realized too late that the tube isn't sonotube brand: it's Shepler's brand... but...
Hey everyone, just an update on my project:
I got my 10' of 24" Sonotube today...
I'm still waiting for my Tempest and AVA250...
Dan Wiggins thinks the design is right on... and the port lengths are correct... (I'm doing patman's design: http://www.io.com/~patman/sunosub2.html)
I start...
