Polk LF 14 subwoofer?

[danger boy]

this is an Ebay auction.. thought i'd post this.. since i've never heard of this model before.. looks something like a monitor 11 or there abouts.

check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/POLK-LF-14-Subwoofer-1983-RARE-As-New-L-K-NR_W0QQitemZ300036588911QQihZ020QQcategoryZ3275QQs sPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Check out the toggle switches... interesting.

Dude, nice sub. Reaches all the way down to 30Hz. :rolleyes:

its actually made from the bottom part of an rta-12, without the crossover and tweeter mounted on top. you dont see many of these around. if one popped up local by me, I would grab it and check it out.

yeah yeah, its definitly not a home theater sub, but 30's is plenty for music/2 channel. and with 2 smaller drivers and a passive radiator design, I imagine it would do a pretty good job in a budget 2 channel system

I'm positive that it's quite musical.

One of the Bros. McGowan uses one and IIRC, thinks highly of it.

There are a LOT of subs that cost more that don't hit below 30hz, sport.

So, specs tell the tale, eh?

You have ZERO clue what you are running your piehole about which begs the question, why are you? :rolleyes:

Well, obviously I can't comment on its performance since I haven't heard it. That leaves me to commenting on its specs, which I did. And in today's world of SVS this and SVS that, dual SVS here, and IB sub there, 30Hz isn't that low.

Now, if it's musical and has had some good testimonials...then that's awesome. I wasn't saying it's a horrible sub. Just doesn't seem to reach that low, relatively speaking.

Oh, and I think your first reply was sufficient, making your second one quite superfluous. ;)

Superfluous?

Pot, kettle, black?

You want to go back through and see how many zero value added posts you have??

I'm sure you are a nice lad and so forth but at some point, you've got to realize that there are times when the wise thing to do is put a sock in it.

Also, other than HT applications (which this was not designed for, obviously) there ain't much going on below 30hz so, it's really a moot point.

Were all just a bunch of guys that love to listen to music right? Everyone has an opinon and that is what this place is all about. Some of us don't know as much as the others but now he know's so next time around if a unit like this pops up he can add some value to his post.

Ok, ok, I certainly walked into that one! :p

Why, thank you. :)

Am I the only one getting all warm and fuzzy inside here? :eek: :D

I guess you're right. I mean, at least Mom agrees with you.

I honestly didn't know that. I figured the more well-regarded subs, and certainly most of the SVS subs, reached below 30Hz. Guess I learned something. Thanks! :)

Thanks! Maybe I will be able to at least say, 'Hey, there's a musical sub!' the next time one gets mentioned...in another 8 years. :p

This is a nice form of low frequency enhancement. :)

Cool vintage stuff.

They are always neat to see and it looks to be in good shape. I'd also grab it if it was close to me.

I've got one of those, purchased new at Soundscape in Baltimore. S/N 11, IIRC. I think scans of the owners manual are or were posted here, someplace. If you can't find 'em, and if they'd be of interest to anyone, PM me.
