Holiday fl here. Just west of tampa a few miles.

Sami

Nice to know at least a few! When I moved to TB I was a few days separated from buying a house in Holiday. Sudden change in plans and now I am closing on a house in Carrollwood on Monday.

soundfreak1, how are you liking that 250a? I have not had a chance to listen to any yet but their older class A amps would be high on my wish list if I lived in cold climate where they could double as heating devices.

I hope to be in Ft Myers area by this winter

Sami

That's very nice area, I drove through there on my bike when I visited Miami. Moving or visiting?

Mikey081057

Moving

Mikey081057

But Fort Myers is west coast... are you thinking Ft Lauderdale?

Sami

The road from Tampa to Miami goes through Fort Myers (I-75).

Hey man, Things are going well! In the market for a second home, my wife is 7 months pregnant ( with our second child )! My folks just retired and are going to stay with us until the tenants of their home in Boca Raton move out of their house ( lease is up in December ), then they move back into their home.
They are always welcome at our place! Other than that, things are pretty good! Looking for a bigger home, I need a bigger room to accommodate my SRT Seismic system mixed with my RT3k's and FX1k's, also need the extra room for the dual PSW1200's. But I'm also looking 2 JL Audio Gotham subs to replace my PSW's. Not sure if I want to take the plunge yet! But It will happen. The force from the darkside is too strong. Lol!
How about you? How are things going on?
Good to hear from you!!
Frank.

chefkungfu

I'm still having fun with those RT3K's you sold me!!
Thanks, Velocity!

tonyb

That's was my last full Polk system you have. SRT's up front, 3000p's in the rear, fx1000's. Hot damn HT never sounded so good. That puppy will rattle nails loose from your drywall.....not joking either.

Sounds like things are going well, it's good to hear man! And congrats on the lil addition that's on it's way!! An SRT System? Suhweet! LoL, and the Gotham subs :0"" there was an amazing deal on one about a year ago, I jumped on it a few hours after post, but it was already taken was a very very low price. Haven't heard one, but I'm positive they're beastly! And I hear you about that darkside. Things have been going fairly well here, getting over a kidney stone! Never had one, never want to have one ever again lol. That's taken a good bit of my funds medically, but slowly rebuiling a system again. Just had a projector's light tunnel melt, so will soon be looking for a new one. Despite all of that, everything else has been going pretty well. Car will be paid off in less than a year, so I'll have a good bit of extra fun money after that.

chefkungfu

Get well soon! My brother had kidney stones.... felt so bad for him, so I know what you went through! I've had gallstones and eventually had my gallbladder removed! Not fun!
I'm happy with what I have for now, but seriously considering those Gotham subs! The Seismic is insane!! Well my version 4 satellites, 4 subwoofers, SRT center/CS1000 center for over/under tv, and the 2 PSW1200 for the extra subs. I've also added RT3K's for the rear surround and FX1000 for the front highs. Absolutely insane!
Get well soon my friend!

You're right about that tonyb!!! It's blurred my vision while enjoying music, and just about caused a heart murmur during movie nights!!
I'm using the SRT's for the front and side surrounds, the rear surrounds consists of my RT3k's, and for the center, I have the SRT and CS1000. Finally finishing the HT are the FX1000 for the front highs, and 2 PSW1200 for the extra subs! I'm happy with it!
Your setup looks awesome too, tony!!

Any plans for a pre/pro/amp setup, or have you already moved in that direction or?

chefkungfu

I'm just using a couple of Adcom amps, but I plan on upgrading soon when we get out 2nd home... hopefully!
For now, I'm beyond happy with the current setup, but I will upgrade....
I'm also looking at some SDA SRS 1.2. for a dedicated 2 channel.

:0""" I have yet to hear an SDA system, let alone the upper tiered models.

My SRT's are SDA.... Matt Polk was right, "Without Limits"! I'm too scared something in the house is going to break if I turn it up, to say around 120db! I've used the SPL meter and so far have not gone above 95db's! It's just insane, and the bass! Talk about pressurizing a room! wow!
I'm starting to look at the SDA SRS for a dedicated 2 channel for the office! I've been wanting to hear those for a very long time, so I'm probably going to get them.
Ever since listening to my SDA SRT's, my listening style and the way I perceive music has changed. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it's different! Everything is much fuller and I'm hearing things I've never heard before on a soundtrack.
Here we go again, further into the bottomless rabbit hole! If I move forward with an SDA SRS 1.2 purchase, I'm going to treat them with some good amps!

My wife Diana is loading my Smith & Wesson as I type! And she's looking at my knee's... Ouch time!
