If I had $5K to spend from scratch, I would get one Funk 18.0 TSAD18v1 unpowered Sub for $1900 delivered to USA, and spend the $3100+ on a used excellent condition/ dealer demo KEF Reference 201/2. Of course, I would try to match the color of the KEF and Funk as much as possible.
Not trying to make a point or anything (lord knows
), but did you guys know that the $15,000 Focal Utopia III Subwoofer is unpowered ?
Man, my twisted brain is thinking, "How cool it would be to have a pair of Focal Utopia Diablo monitors plus dual matching Focal Utopia Subs."
$15K for a sub is a little overpriced though. Would love to be damn rich.
BTW, I know the KEF 201/2 satin finish dealer cost is $3K/pr new. KEF has been known to also give dealers an additional 10% off, so probably $2700/pr new dealer cost. Demo price is 15% off new cost, so $2550/pr. So even if a dealer sells a demo pair for $3050, he is making a $500 quick profit.
