Are These Finds Good Deals?

[lp85253]

Subs are harder to find, but I found that RBH 1212NR on there. There was a PB1000 up for a week or 2 also for $350 not too long ago, you musta missed it. On the whole tho, the selection isn't nearly as good as speakers. This dude has a couple of VTF-3 MK5s for $450 each tho... you might be able to talk him down some.

HSU VTF-2 MK5 subwoofers - electronics - by owner - sale

excellent condition. Year old used lightly. 4 years of warranty left. Have 2 available. Selling because I no longer have a theater room

I did miss that svs , i rally just made up my mind a few days ago... Rather than wait for Dennis to sell something real cheap like the aa+s he recently discontinued, i figure grab a good clean playing sub for the b1 mods..i really kinda want the speedwoofer for the clarity it is reputed to have ..Edit , that hsu looks pretty good

An additional note .. My listening room is about 12x12x8 .. So i don't need cannons.. My subs are plenty, but the bic is a muddy mess .. The rsl is really close design wise to my other sub , so i thought that could work , and even if not the rsl should be plenty in that room by itself.. I listen to my other sub alone for music right now..

My reasons for dual subs would be for smoothing response, not particularly output altho a little headroom is a good thing, particularly in a square room.....but it is a small room so maybe something smaller makes sense....

Plus I'm king of brokeness...$500 is about my limit.. I run duels just to try to avoid nulls in this little room, from all accounts the rsl has pretty good punch above 30 hz and sounds reasonably clean for a budget sub, that alone makes it better than the bic , music is my main concern, movies are just a secondary thing...but a guys gotta rattle the room while watching a marvel movie...Edit : my other sub is an emotiva basx 10, if there was ever a budget sub trying to be a speedwoofer it's the emo..

There are lots of exceptions out here. I picked up these Infinity IL40s for ten bucks!

Those are some legit, good speakers and I got 'em for a steal. I'm confident I could get $100 for them, but I like them so they're gonna stay here. The sub I mentioned above I found for $900, which ain't cheap but it's a $3200 sub!

Wow, you stole the Infinity's. What is that monster Sub?

It's definitely true that the bigger the speakers are, the less likely the people trying to get rid of them will be trying to extract maximum dollars, because they don't want to have to drag them to UPS and have them packed...

Local ads. This is my Craigslist thread. It's a long thread but if you look through it, I and others have had some really good finds in it. I live in the Phoenix area and there are always at least a thousand hits when I search speakers. I comb through there every so often. I picked up these Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2s with RAAL ribbon tweeters for $600. They sell for over $1400.

That's a reasonable price for a pair of used speakers - typically 40-50% of retail.

Again, when I talk about "crazy deals" (and how difficult they are to find), it's more like scoring a pair of those for $20.
