I am very happy to announce a recent purchase of a pair of PT800 units. I bought these used units on Ebay and they were pretty nice for the price. I have only been able to listen to them for a few hours, and I think I am really going to like them. I have an eye on putting together a stereo system with newer pieces with an eye on value and excellent performance.
The PS1400 units I bought new from an online outlet. The price was very good but the sale isn't going well. My credit card has not been charged yet, but the units have not been shipped yet either, it has been 3 weeks.
I have also been power shopping for a sub. Not only have I always wanted to find a suitable sub to supplement what I already have, having read the entire Performance Series thread, I understood that the PS1400's might need some low frequency help. Well, along came a heck of a deal to buy two demo Array 1500 subs, and with a shaky hand I pulled the trigger on the single biggest audio purchase I have ever made!
I am excited and fearful all at the same time!! I had been wanting to do a 2245 project but work just has me eternally busy and if I can't build it, I guess I'll have to buy it! There are a few 2245 "options" out there for sale but shipping becomes a problem. From what I have read these Array 1500 units are better than a 2245 option, and considering that they are powered, I think I got an exceptional deal.
What I am wondering and am soliciting advice on is whether I should continue to try to obtain the PS1400 units or if the two Array 1500's would be enough, and if I should attempt to figure out some kind of dock to mate the two. I would hate to start drilling on the Array 1500's, but maybe some kind of stand to position the PT800's above might work? The 1500's also do not look to have any speaker connections, so I would have to obtain an electronic crossover to provide power to the PT800's.
Well, what do you guys think? Do i need the PS1400's?
P.S. The PT800's came without the Mounts to the PS1400. Can someone tell me if the mounts come with the Pt800's or the PS1400's. Additionally, one of the PT800's came without the bottom metal plate. Is thie plate need to mount the unit to the PS1400? Anyone have a spare? PM me.
