    I kinda agree with you there...although I'll have to admitt... it looks pretty cool on my sub....


    As far as those samples are concerned....you'll have to ask him...but he did send some for me to gloss over....and my sub doesn't cost as much as yours.

    The 201/2s can't keep up with the those TSAD18s.

    I'm not even sure the Salon 2s can keep up with them, but they have a much better chance.

    No, I'm getting magnetic black grills.

    What do you mean by "keep up"?

    In SPL, of course.

    The TSADs with the funk audio DSP amp can probably push out around ~125db @ 1m 30hz to 100hz if I had to guess
    The Revels can probably push out around ~110-112db @ 1m 60hz to 300hz
    The KEFs are probably in that ~100db @ 1m range 60hz to 300hz

    Total random guesses

    The KEFs probably "cry uncle" long before the TSADs are even warmed up!

    A Corvette ZR-1 drives nicely around town too...

    I get the same reaction from some guys about my DD18+. "You're only pumping music through that thing? It's half asleep most of the time!" Yeah, it is, but it sure does sound nice while it's not working very hard.

    ADTG can always make use of all of that unused capability by playing 20Hz test tones for critics and making them nauseous.

    That's what I figured you meant.

    But here is my point of view.

    The KEF201/2s don't have to keep up with the FA18.0s.

    The FA18.0s have to keep up with the KEF201/2s, which the FA18.0s can do in their sleep.
