BUT... a Terraform XL would be AWESOME!

I have contacted Mike Seaton about a Terraform XL but I have not yet received a reply. I expect that this time of year, so nothing against Mike at all. I could go that big but I wonder if Mike might have another viewpoint. I understand he is quite frank about what will work for you and doesn't try to upsell you.

In any case there are so many great subs out there I am spoiled for choice. What a great time for audio we are living in. This is great.

It's Mark Seaton, not Mike.

Some numbers on the JTR Captivator I posted earlier:

2011 JTR Captivator *<10% THD continuous*
119dB @ 15 Hz
120dB @ 20 Hz
121dB @ 25 Hz
122dB @ 31.5 Hz
123dB @ 40 Hz and above

At $1000/ea (minus amp) you could get four plus four behringer EP4000. Probably destroy your room while your at it and if four ported 18's can't, don't think much else will.

four horn loaded 18s

I have been told in general he is difficult to get a hold of considering his schedule. So if you have to email him a few times don't be shy.

Plunk!!!

I've taken the plunge and ordered 3 eD A7s-650's. I was over budget by a bit but I think this is the best combo for me.

1) Weight - each unit is 215 lbs. Heavy but not impossible to move around.
2) Flexibility - small enough to fit into corners and other places for proper placement. Footprint is smaller than other subs.
3) Performance - I am not sacrificing much in terms of the low end (16 Hz - 80 Hz) over the other options I looked at.

I would have liked 2 terraform XL's but I think that might take months of wait time. From what I can see these subs should be ready to go in short order. I have looked at other forums and some have reported delays from eD so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Will post pics and other test (I am not a professional but I am willing to learn) results upon delivery and set up.

Congrats. I'm sure you'll piss some neighbors off

Just got this email from Mark Seaton:

"
The Terraform line is not yet shipping, and unfortunately we will not be accepting orders until we are certain of a ship date."
