Jakeman worked out the deal in regards to his and mine purchase of four EP-500/600 subwoofers each.
He got a subwoofer (an EP-500) thrown into the deal for "free"
What is he doing with this subwoofer ?
Jack (Ajax) ... What color would you like your new EP-500 to be ?
Hearty attaboys to Ian and Jakeman !!!

err...well...ummm...not exactly. We did arrange a volume discount for buying 8 subs with a ninth one for Jack if he wants it at the same price. But then Craig nobily offered to donate his entire volume discount to Jack. AttaBoy Craig. You are the man!

Well, if this is on the up and up, make mine black. I don't know who I have to thank for this, but, in the immortal words of Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire all I can say is "Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
Seriously, is this for real? If so, I offer my profoundest thanks to any and all who are responsible. So far Ian, Craig, and John have been mentioned, so to them I say you've made an old man very, very happy (however, you've REALLY ticked off my neighbors, who, when I watch War Of The Worlds will now believe it's a real attack )

Very happy for you Jack, but now you have the burden of deciding between opposite mid-walls and co-locating. You'll survive(even if the neighbors don't and call Mike Trivisonno for advice).

Thanks for the kind and complimentary words, everybody. This is a fine community, and I'm very proud to be a part of it. The best part of this is that now I'm officially an Axiomite again. Gotta go put my marker on the Axiom Audition Map. Woo Hoo!

Jack,
We must be slipping. Listen, once you get that 500 and get it set up, let me know and we''ll go to work on Curtis. He hasn't bought anything lately. There's no TELLING how many 500s we can get him to buy. {smile]

What a WONDERFUL idea, Ray! However, I don't think anyone could pry Curtis' HSU away from him, not even from his cold dead hands. But, we shouldn't let that stop us from trying.

Hey Ray. Seeing how you too chose the 500 over the SVS sub, its time for an upgrade to go with your new acoustical treatments and projector.

John - you have no idea!!! I like my 20-39 PCi, but the 500 is clearly an upgrade.
However - just finalized plans for the basement/home theater Monday and will be ordering the lumber next week with plans to start framing the first weekend in January. The 500 idea is mouth wateriing, but I got a plate full of upcoming basement expenses. Sigh...
Hey - maybe a couple of crazy guys will by a boatload of 500s & 600s and send me one out of the goodness of their hearts. Awww, that's just carzy talk, that kind of thing NEVER happens!

Ray if you are going to be doing the work on your own and you haven't already done so, do yourself a huge favor and buy an air compressor and a nail gun.
Between a complete remodel of our home this time last year and a dedicated music/movie room addition at the moment these items have particulary been the most worthwhile.

Thanks for the suggestion Rick. The guy who is helping me..... Wait, that's not right. The friend who offered to provide his impressive expertise and skills to this project is who I will be helping. He has all the toys, including the nail gun. Also a very nice mitre saw and other "surprises" (as he explained) that will assist in the effort.
I'm not at the point where my wife cries when I pick up a power tool, but he is simply remarkable. This is his way of returning the favor for the many days I spent helping him while he was involved in building his Finger Lakes retirement home this summer.
We're figuring 2-3 of days framing and alike amount of time with the electrical. I am going to farm out the entire drywall piece and do the painting. He comes back for the ceiling. Then I'll have the carpeting installed. After that, he'll do the molding. Then I'll noodle around with some DIY acoustic treatment.
We'll go at this aggressively and I'm hoping for a mid to end of March completion.
BTW - let's not hijack this thread on this subject. The subject is too precious and I'd like to see Jack enjoy it.

Are you kidding? I'm one of the most notorious hijackers on the forum. If it weren't for hijacks, an awful lot of threads would be boring.
Besides. I got a PM from Amie today, and the 500 won't ship 'til tomorrow. We gotta have SOMETHING to talk about until it arrives. So, hijack away
