strange sub but looks possibly good...

I have had one.  Sound very good. However, they are very big.

I never heard of the collaboration between Advent and Bob.
That's wild!
I owned lots of Advent stuff over the years from integrated amps & tape decks to speakers.
All great stuff.
Looks interesting.
Shipping might be a bit $.
....just an "ON" switch, Please!

Paid the guy $25 over paypal to hold them for me and he will mark it as sold.  Hopefully $150 is a good price.  From a collaboration between Sunfire and Advent as well as OCCD saying it sounded nice, I would be surprised if it was anything less than a good piece of audio equipment.  I will tell you guys once I audition it if it is a quality subwoofer.

Guy seems legit.  I sent paid him $25 in advance and he took it off craigslist.  If it doesn't sound up to par we will work something out.  Hopefully this is an upgrade from my HSU STF-1...  If not, there will be more posts on here in about 3 weeks.  :laugh:

I would be interested in either of those if you ever decide part with them.

Almost 100% Certain I am selling my HSU STF-1 Subwoofer if you want it wkhanna.  It is about 7/10 cosmetic condition but sounds perfect.  I am a second owner and the reason it is in 7 out of 10 is because it has some scratches which the original owner colored in... I think I have pictures from where I was going to sell it before and I think $150 would be a very fair price.  I will send pictures if you are interested.
