Ed-a2-300 order - Blu-ray Forum

acritzer · 03-03-2010, 02:13 AM

I see the sale is ending in a few days so I'm going to put an order in. Couple quick questions.

What's the best option for feet? Hourglass on carpet? Spikes on riser? Spikes on blocks as a cheap alternative?

Thanks.

Getting the sub on a riser is the best option for any sub, and whether you wanted to use hourglass feet or spikes on it is up to you. I prefer spikes

The last time eD claimed the "sale" would end, it never happened. That was almost a year ago IIRC, so who knows. Either way, I'd order now and you'll be rockin your house even sooner

You can either make a riser or order one, and so you know eD makes a riser you just have to ask them. and they can make it to spec of the a2-300

I didn't know they made risers too. Do you know how much they charge?

$50 and thats including shipping

Thanks. $400 all told sounds pretty good. Just waiting on my 0% credit card. Paying off over a year will help convince my wife.

Nice

I'm not proud of the plan, but it keeps things easy on the budget.

I think you should be proud. If you can do 0% over a year, and pay it off in a year before any interest occurs, it is actually financially smarter than paying it all up front...besides if it keeps your wife happy and puts an a2-300 in your theater...

I would not count on the fact that they didn't raise the price last year. I feel confident they will do it this year, for several reasons. A2-300 production lead-time is now up to around 6 weeks. The sheer volume of orders has also slowed production on other items. They are faced with outsourcing or downscaling, because they simply can't grow with the pace that is being set. The additional price-point is more reflective of the demand curve and the fact that their equlibrium is out of whack; by raising the price they will slow down sales, which will help out production without significant loss of revenue in the short run.

I say pull the trigger now, if you can. Definitely worth it at either price, but why pay more if you don't have to?

Also, spikes or hourglass are up to you. Spikes are intended for carpet while hourglass is intended for hardwood or tile. However, as others have mentioned, even with carpet the spikes can penetrate to the concrete slab below. A riser is a good option for alleviating that issue as well as isolation-related issues.

Good choice of sub, BTW.

You have no idea what you're in store for.

Wow. That sounds like a good deal. Considering they make quality products.

acritzer · 03-03-2010, 08:51 PM

Trying to place an order right now.

jaydoc24 · 03-03-2010, 08:59 PM

Good luck, I hear they are blowing up with orders over there. Something like a 6 week backorder I read somewhere on this site.

acritzer · 03-03-2010, 10:47 PM

Mission accomplished. Yes there is a bit of a wait, but I can deal with that.

Yes, it is about a 6 week production lead time right now. Quality of the product though.

Word gets around, and everyone is jumping on them right now. Very much worth the wait.

Congrats!!! Great decision. This sub is worth every penny, and you caught it while it is still on sale. Feel free to jump into the eD subwoofer thread HERE and chat with myself and many other owners. The wait will take its toll on you, but it is worth it in the end. We'll help to keep your mind off it.

But there are rules you must follow. It's actually in the fine print when you purchased your sub...you probably missed it. They are:

1) Pics!!! (or it never happened)
2) You must "skidoosh" at least once with the new sub
3) Piss off the wife / GF
4) Add a 2nd A2-300 sub!

acritzer · 03-03-2010, 11:14 PM

Lol thanks for the checklist. Pictures are something I keep meaning to do. Just never get around to it.
