I’m a big fan of the old adages suggesting we make the best out of a bad situation. Seems like that’s been a lifetime theme of mine. The lightning strike back in September certainly tested my patience in that regard, as I found ever more dead electronics for weeks following the strike. I finally got around to the main room sound system yesterday and as expected, much of it was toast, including the Sunfire Subwoofer – a $2k piece. But after getting a re-furb’d Outlaw 975 installed and the amps replaced with off-the-shelf spares it’s back up and running at lower power with the 2nd string amps, sans the sub – but not for long. A quick measuring tape exercise confirmed my hope that a new PSA S3611 dual-opposed 18″ monster boomer will fit under there:
It plays little brother to the V3611 I’ve been enjoying in the man cave for the past year. There’s no way that behemoth looks right anywhere upstairs, but the S3611 tucks in under that TV shelf quite nicely. I suspect it also out-performs the big boy downstairs somewhat, considering the uniquely customized corner placement in a smaller space.
