I'm Sad

My beloved Paradigm Pw-2200 v2 that I have had for 20 months has just taken a crap on me. Thank god for the 3 year warranty on the amp and 5 on the woofer. I cursed myself by boasting about how much I like this sub for HT and music. Oh well, its going into the shop tomorrow, the store says it could be about 6 weeks at worst to ship off either the amp or the woofer (I am sure it is the amp) before I'm back in business.

That sucks cam, having equipment blow is a true pain. Atleast it wasn't a processor, or display. Hopefully all goes well.

But atleast I have my green chicklet back, all is not lost! Who am I kidding, I'd rather have that stupid red chicklet and a pw-2200 that I could crank up right about now. It is Friday and my rye and coke just doesn't taste the same without some low frequencies rumbling my inners.

rye?!?! rum man, simplify I know what you mean. My stereo went 6 months before a subwoofer, and I can't imagin how I would survive without it. I heard a pw2200 at a local store that sells paradigm. It was nice. I think it was running a little hot, and it was sort of boomy, but my friend was a PDR 8 and its nice and clean. How much to does units retail for?

I was always wondering why the back plate on the amp was always warm 24/7. I had discussed this with other people who had found out from Paradigm directly that this was normal. Back in Feb 04 I paid $1050 CAN.

The sort of boomy experience you had I could replicate easily in my room. Using bass management, a SPL meter, and a little crawling around for bass to find an optimal location for the sub, whola.....no more boom.
