Crap. I do not have an account on there. I signed up but it wont let me pm yep. Shoot. I would take them. Hes asking 1700 or best. Do you have an account on there to send a message?

pumpkinman

I've been at A/C a long time. Would you like me to contact the seller ??

tonyb

Good price gents for a good speaker, and Ern.....for your small room these would be perfect. Go grab these.

erniejade

Pumpkinman, yes please. I will shoot you a PM.

This kind of concerns me on the speaker though "that is if your listening room is the appropriate size and/or you don't require extremely loud dynamics. "

Skip or anyone, any idea if this means they wont go loud? Sometimes ( like we all do) I just want to rock out with some Rush or UFO. While I do still care about the sound when kicking it up, I still want to kick it up. Even with that small room on the legacy's I have hit 100+ watts on the 402. heck with the LSI9's I have hit over 100 watts on them.

erniejade

Thanks skip that makes complete sense. Any smaller speaker ( outside of the 9's) when kicked without a sub is going to compress! I would cross them over around 50 or 60 to prevent that. When the seller listed it how they did, it made me worry a bit. Heck even the reviews I read on the PM1 say the same without a sub but with and crossed over, allows them to be more dynamic when kicked up.

I saw people talking about the 2's and some of the pics. Like the mmicro one on steroids! They look sharp.

erniejade

Yep Evolution Acoustics MMMicroones and stands .

Pumpkinman Thank you again for sending the 411. I shot you a PM with my email and phone number.

pumpkinman

I sent him a PM so let's see if he replies ??

erniejade

Thanks!!!!

erniejade

He emailed and I have responded. I am waiting on a reply back.

marvda1

i was tempted!!!

erniejade

He is getting me a shipping quote.

BTW Thank you all for the help! This is what this place is all about.

Mystery

nice looks.

pumpkinman

Sweet !!! when do I get to come over LOL

erniejade

Anytime! As many as we can pile into the 10X11 room LOL Payment has been sent. He will be shipping I think tomorrow. I am excited to hear them and see how they do in this room.

tonyb

You snagged them Ern ? Man, I'm jonesin' for ya bro. Hope they work well in that room of yours. Pretty sure they will anyway. Let us know your impressions after you change your shorts a few times.

pumpkinman

Great !!! I hope they work out well for you.

erniejade

Thanks I do aslo or at least hold me over for 4-5 years till I have a bigger room back. Or if they are as good as what I keep reading, I can just keep the small room.

Now I need to figure out, what tap to put them on? They are rated at 6 ohm. The McIntosh has 8,4,2 ohm taps. My guess is 8 but, Im not sure.

pumpkinman

My Vandersteen's are 6 ohm and they say to use the 4 ohm tap.

PSOVLSK

Can we change the title of this thread to "erniejade, just for you!!"?

Congrats man. Never heard them, but I trust Marvin and Skip...plus they appear to be a beautiful pair of speakers.

marvda1

don't I get a 10% finders fee?

erniejade

LOL thanks everyone. Marvda, if I was around you or skip I would be buying dinner or at least the 1st round of drinks LOL.

I saw the way they are packaged, Its not a cardboard box. Its a wooden crate. Skip, if you were here, the looks on our faces,I would need the help to move the 120 lb crate just for the stands!

EndersShadow

Ernie... your in the Chicago area right hehehe........

erniejade

Yep! 2 towns over from Rich actually. Portillos right up the street also.

marvda1

come on down for the lone star audio fest next year and can buy those drinks.

EndersShadow

Hehehe.... then your within visiting distance YIPPEEEE!!!!!!

PS those puppies look sick. I've got a few bookies on my want to buy list and those may need to be added.

SCompRacer

Congrats on the new speakers Ernie! Beautiful finish and great sound!

voltz

Congrats Ernie!! Marvda has a bad habit of making people spend money but I think you won't regret it

tonyb

Now pair those baby's with that new Parasound integrated and that little room of yours will become your Howard Hughes hideout.

erniejade

LOL Tonyb. That Parasound looks like it would be one heck of a combo but, hard to give up my 110 lb monster McIntosh mc402. I like looking at the VU's. Put some VU;s on the Parasound and I'm sold! LOL

They should be here tomorrow. I am hopping I can make it home in time to sign for them. I might need to take off a little bit early from work. .. Who am I kidding I am going to take off early from work LOL.

tonyb

Yeah, I forgot you had that monster Mac in the mix. Anyway....I don't see you coming out of that room for awhile. Food will be shoved under the door, empty bucket to crap in, you won't shower for days. Family members will think you left and joined the circus. You may even fake Ebola to be quarantined to that room for 3 weeks. Happy listening bro, and let us know how it works out....after you shower of course.
