More pictures please.

They were the rosewood ones but were gone in minutes. Oh well. But I saw an ad for NHT's with no description and fuzzy photos near me and they were the lowly VT 1.2 model. The guy offered them up for $60 in great shape so what the hell. I finally played them tonight and they sound way way better than they have a right to be. These little fookers pump some bass. WTF? I am looking for their bigger siblings to try. My wife was so excited to see small speakers in my listening room, Phych! Sorry babe, too small to be manly.

A local guy posted a pair of 2.5i for $299. They look to be in fine shape. Is that a good price? He says they have no issues. PMAT

Many speaker designs have out of phase drivers. I have a custom input setup on my Amazing Silvers that allows me to change phase easily between the woofers and the ribbon. While I can hear a difference I couldn't say which is better. Try both. On a side note I sold a pair of AL III's to a guy that plays them unbelievably loud. He crosses over the signal so the woofers don't get really low frequencies. I am talking REALLY LOUD. The ribbons just take it, though I don't know how. I think the 48 inch ribbons are more robust than the larger ones. I have back-up ribbons ready to go but mine are still dishing it out just fine.

Hey, good project! I don't know how far along you are, but consider this, The woofers are woofers in the design. They are not subwoofers. LFE type application to this speaker is not it's intended purpose. Separate subs (s) would do home theater much better. I have had 3 sets of AL III's and they do a lot of things really well. Deep bass is not one of them. Woofers fart both because of surround/spider lack of control or just being over driven at low frequencies. Good luck.

You can't fight the BASS GURU you fool. Kowtow to the expert. Your opinion has been disabled due to crowd pressure.

Welcome back. I suggest that you start a collecting addiction. Just sayin

Don't give up! Thanks for contributing.

Trippy initials. Ahem

Should be enough bass power to do the hair storm on a young lady. I can't believe you can get 3 big subs in that room size and get it to work at all. Bravo

Rabbit Abyss. The hole was too small.

Welcome to the macheeeeeen.

Welcome

Totally worth the investment. I can't think of a reason you would not be able to recoup your money in the future. I had 9 amps when I got my Sig 600. I sold all of them. I wish I had kept a couple but that's just nostalgia. The only thing I don't like is unplugging the beast when not in use (highly recommended).

Next step...... Stop doing chores, stop shaving and get a wild-eye look going. Then, start collecting speakers. You got this.

I have some RS-7 Kappas I'm selling for a friend (not a plug) and I am so impressed. I hope they don't sell for a while

I have the same amp and yes it is wonderful in many ways. HOWEVER, "in for minor repairs" is frightening. I bought mine used and broken because it sat in a reputable repair shop for almost a year for "minor repairs". Most shop cannot work on these things. They can certainly make them worse. Consider getting it to Greg here (nelion audio). This is not a plug for Greg. It is a rescue mission for a fallen soldier that needs a specialist.

Glad to have you. Jump in and have a good time. Don't be shy about posting (mine usually flop)!

Size matters?

Avoid the next Sunfire regret. Don't sell it. Your next set of speakers will need it.
