After much deliberation...

...no curve ball here. I waited for the one I wanted to come off back-ordered and ordered the SVS PB Ultra 16 in piano gloss. I got a great deal on it first of all, brand new at $2,200, and that includes taxes and shipping. Secondly, I agree with what many have said. I AM overthinking this. I just wanted a sub, and I've wanted this sub for awhile, so I got it. In time if I want to add another one, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. For now, that leaves me with a Denon 4400 receiver, two SVS Ultra towers, and the PB16. I think unless I plan on finding a new place to live it may be time for a short break, but this should tide me over for at least a little while....hopefully. Appreciate all of your encouragement, ideas, comments, thoughts, all of it. It's been pretty fun so far, look forward to more!!

Congrats fellow Steeler fan!

FWIW...overthinking is a fairly normal symptom in this trade....I think you're building a great system!

Steeler Nation fan here all in since '72...live in ATL

I was born in '77 in Magee Hospital, was too young to really understand what was going on. However, as soon as I did start to understand, I was hooked by that '70s team. I grew up idolizing so many of them, wore their numbers, busted my ass lifting weights and playing football, all trying to be like them. They were my heroes and honestly I can say in part made me the man I am today....gotta love that toughness!!

These modern day players? That's another story, isn't it? However, I could never NOT watch my Steelers...just in my blood. I imagine you're no different.

BTW, not too far away, grew up in Charleston, SC, currently live in Myrtle Beach.

Congrats on the purchase. And great to chat with 2 fellow Steeler Fans. I grew up in the Burgh but moved to Texas in the 70s and now reside in DFW. Tough to be a Stiller Fan here in Cowboy country. And I was born at Mercy Hospital but both my sisters were born at Magee. Quite a few years earlier than you however. Best memories were attending the AFC playoffs at 3 Rivers Stadium in 1979.

Yep that was great and I went to the Miami game the week before. Only NFL playoff games I ever attended and no Super Bowl for me. My dad did go to 2 of the Steelers SBs I think they were both in Miami.

I don't want to divert the thread, but speaking of the modern day player...Tomlin's loose locker room was eventually going to bite him in the butt, and it finally did. Hopefully with the two divas gone, they can get back to focusing on football.

The ATL market gets about 10 or 11 Steeler games so I used to get the rest on the NFL Sun tkt...I dumped the tkt about 4 years ago...now if I don't get the game, I stream it or catch the radio play by play.

No, I agree. Tomlin needs to tighten up. Question is can he at this point in his career? Tomlin's questionable in-game decision making doesn't do him any favors either. If you want the truth, I've defended Tomlin for years and do think the players play hard for him. However, I'm thinking it might be time for some new blood, esp. with a franchise QB going into his final years and his window closing.

On a separate note, I watched the first 30 for 30 (is in two parts) on Joe Namath last night. Before his knee injury at Alabama (was major but he played through it, no MRIs back then) he reminded me in about a thousand ways of a healthy Aaron Rodgers. He could move, had beautiful fakes, a laser arm. His moxy and toughness were far beyond any of the modern day QBs sans Ben. He got pounded regularly as players were jealous of his high contract, and refs didn't protect them back then. Very, very impressive, definitely an underrated QB.

Agreed with trouble in the Steelers locker room but I'm not sure there weren't 3 divas in the room and one of them is still there. Anyway this should be an interesting if not totally successful season for the Stillers. Hopefully the young players haven't been soured on the locker room mess. Here We Go Steelers Here We Go!

Tomlin's strengths have always been player manager, motivation, and a CEO type role in game planning and ingame calls...wanting to be more of a hands on X & O coach is not working well...should let Butler run the D he knows and get out of the way...but Butler took the took knowing he wanted his finger print on it....else there was no real reason to get rid of Labeau.

Namath is a little nutty today, but he was a helluva athlete until the knee...put the AFL on the map.

That’s a great setup. Now comes the tweaks to get the best out of your system.
