Re: Polk PSW111 sub-woofer - Heartbeat
BFarnam's contribution got me farther than any other info. I only had to replace C38 and C39. I have a jpeg of the backside of the PCB showing the locations of the condensers. For some reason I cannot upload to this discussion thread.

XS-3E Amp
I'll be parting with this particular unit, as I added this same 3E Audio 3255-PFFB board with integrated power supply in my other case. Machined of 7.5" diameter 6061-T6 alloy with 2 stainless fasteners that's designed to assemble/disassemble in minutes. This unit comes with Balanced XLR connectors. Entire base perimeter gets a layer of thermal paste for even heat dissipation, although this unit barely gets warm to the touch after hours of play/usage.....
I'll let it go for $400 shipped if anyone is interested. Just PM.
I'll include the power cable, you'll just need to get a 36-42V PS.

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
Still have a popcorn ceiling in our family room. I am a little confused as to what about them is quite so bad. Just fashion, I suppose. Never been a dedicated follower of fashion or hung out in Regent Street or Leicester Square longer than it took to queue for the cinema.
Mine is textured as well, not as much popcorn as others I've seen. My father's dislike of a smooth ceiling and my mother's dislike of the deep textured ceilings of the time lead to the one I inherited.
I do not mind it, my father liked shiny gloss ceilings, I however reprimed and painted it a flat white which greatly increased the overall much more even light reflection off the ceiling over the gloss white.

Re: You’re doing it wrong…
The problem with a heavy nap roller, is (speaking of doing it wrong) many contractors will not prime the ceiling prior to applying the popcorn. As soon as the popcorn gets wet, it tends to delaminate from the sheetrock where there is no mud. While I can make a repair look like nothing ever happened, only a handful IME can actually do a repair that looks like it never happened. They usually stick out like a sore thumb and become a major eyesore.
I personally hate popcorn, with one exception. My Grandad, who lived up in Gig Harbor WA, had a pretty killer layout with no ceilings that were horizontal. All of them were vaulted and at differing angles in an open concept, multi step down level house. Whoever built his house took a glitter gun and tastefully distributed small, silver colored glitter on top of the popcorn, while the paint was still wet. It had the coolest effect with certain lighting. You could be sitting on the couch or in the DR at night and slightly move your head, and it was like thousands of stars blinking on and off. They were bright enough to where you could actually see the reflections of the light emitted from the glitter reflected off of the lid of Grandma's grand piano. That is the only popcorn ceiling I have ever seen that seriously impressed me. Wicked cool.

Re: Polk Forum Giveaway!
I put together my first system around 1978. I was continually upgrading the components. Mainly the speakers up to 1988. That’s when I first listened to Polk speakers at a Paul and Tony’s stereo store in state college PA. I got to listened to the SDA line and loved them, but at the time could not afford them. I decided on the RTA 8t’s at that time which I still have.
I purchased a pair of SDA SRS 2.3’s 10 - 15 years ago as an upgrade. The 2.3’s have had the crossovers upgraded, the addition of a Dreadnaught, and are in a dedicated two channel system.
During the last few years I built a home theater with L600 mains, L400 center, 2 pairs of R200’s for the surrounds and rear surrounds and es10’s for the elevation speakers.
I feel fortunate to have found this website. The members first helped me when I got my 2.3’s and have helped me with additional upgrades.
