LOL that'd be a lot of gas money for my van plus the lodging/food....approaches what you're selling it for.....and I do have sufficient subwoofage now. Good luck!
Thanks, I kind of figured you had enough of your own.........I just made a hasty decision here with the 7201, I had three 18" ported subs here that I traded for the 7201 and I'm in way over my head with this monster, too much for my room and my age. I wrote this review of why I can't keep the sub, crazy I know, thought it would make for a good read and add a smile for the day............
Hey Guys, I just wanted to let you that I will be returning the 7201, it's a sad day to have to say this but for my health and the well being of my wife and the integrity of my house the 7201 is just too much sub for my space, I wish I could cut it in half. This sub just treats my house like it's made of balsa wood, it's the most powerful subwoofer I've ever heard or felt. It also has the best response of any sub or combination of subs I've had in my home.
I was taking some compression sweeps and the mic ran out of headroom at 110dB at 6 Hz, no kidding, this is a weapon of mass destruction. I just never expected this type of power from a single subwoofer, it's overkill for my space, I can't believe I just said that. I was watching Wonder Woman with the sub 5dB hot and at MV -12, it was great until she went crazy and attacked the Nazis. My couch felt like it was going to explode, my feet were burning and my heart rate was through the room and my chest felt like I was being hit by a professional boxer and I couldn't breathe.
MY wife came down screaming thinking something happened down in my room, she thought I was using a jackhammer on the carpet over concrete. She told me what was going on up there and I didn't believe her so I played that 5-6 minute scene over again and went upstairs. Several of her candle jars had vibrating off the shelves and shattered, her 110 pound plasma TV was ready to vibrate off the stand and fall, I had to hold onto it. I know you guys must be thinking I'm exaggerating but when I say her 200 pound chair with wooden claw feet and ottoman literally rocking from side to side. I put cat liter on her chair cushion and the sand was actually dancing to the sound waves. It was literally scary walking up there for fear of the floor (concrete) cracking and collapsing. I watched the filament in the light bulbs wiggling and thought they would explode, I never finished the rest of that scene.
You guys strive for this type of body attacks and TR, I don't know how you can take it, for me it's dangerous to my health, especially my breathing which is labored already, the 7201 leaves me breathless literally. The pedal wasn't even near the metal either, there was a lot more headroom on tap. I feel really bad not having the PSA Flagship product in my home, for once in my life I had to agree with the misses that the 7201 is too much sub for our home which seems to be a conduit for ULF energy transference. I've had subs in here before that pressurized my living room but never a whole house pressurization subwoofer like the 7201. I had to pop my ears by holding my nose with my fingers and blowing the air out through my ears for fear of a nose bleed.
By the way the front of the sub is physically 17' from the PLP and I felt like I was sitting an inch away from it, I don't know what those cavities do but apparently something comes out of them. As big as the sub is it's not localizable in my smaller room and you saw the measurements taken from 14 spots at and around the PLP and then the average of the 14.
I really feel bad having to return the sub within the 60 day in home trial window because in five years and 20 subwoofers later I've never ever returned a single sub in the 30-60 day return window. I don't know why I saved the 40 pound pallet and all the foam inserts but I'm glad I did. Now I have to go rent a power stair climber dolly to get this 8th wonder of the world up the steps. I wish everyone could at least get to hear and feel this 7201 even if they don't but it, it's like nothing I've ever experienced from a single subwoofer. This is a uniquely designed one of a kind WOMD (weapon of mass destruction), the military could use this device. I'll try and get some compression sweeps up cause I know you guys have doubts that I had 110dB at 6 Hz. I had 100dB at 6 Hz running regular sweeps at MV 15 I think.
I won't be able to get this back down to Jim for a few more weeks so if anybody's interested and is in a reasonable driving distance to the Pittsburgh Airport you can get a brand new 7201 for the pre-order price, I'll even take off a few $$s to ease my conscience of having to return the sub for a credit. I haven't decided what's going to replace it yet, maybe something a bit more manageable. I'm serious about this so if anybody's interested please let me know, I'll get it up the stairs and it's 15' to the curb after that. I can't tell you how bad I feel, seriously, I don't want to end up in the hospital or divorced.........
Cheers Jeffrey
