For Sale: 2 X Passive 2011 JTR Captivators

we're no longer bros ---- bro.

Haha, I wouldn't be surprised if your classified turns into one of those epic general conversation threads you are becoming know for…

A few things I have to say about the seller and the product he is selling in an attempt to keep this on topic.

First of all, Andrew is a stand up guy, no question you will get whatever product he is selling as advertized.

Second, I was able to attend the October NE GTG to hear the Cap's first hand. They are among the most impressive subs I've ever heard. I go so far as to say it would be extremely hard for any other single driver to match the dynamic capability of this sub given its design limitations. I've owned a few different subs in my day and currently own a pair of the LMS Ultras in a sealed configuration. Some argue the LMS-U's are one of the best drivers on the market today. Having heard my LMS-U pair directly head-to-head against a pair of Cap's in the same listening environment, I can honestly say that the Cap's are simply more fun to own!

They sound great in all applications, but excel in HT use where dynamic capability is paramount. These things are built to last! In fact, talking with Jeff Permian (owner of JTR) at Gorilla's get together I heard him mention that he's never had a Cap returned for failing.

$2,350 is an incredible price for a product that will literally last their next owners a lifetime, or until they develop some crazy DIY disorder and want to build a wall of subs for themselves (as seems to be the case with Andrew).

Make sure you really want to part with them, there are times when watching movies that I wish I still had my Caps (like the Die Hard 4 apartment scene - why doesn't my couch feel like it's violently floating across the floor??? Oh yeah, no more Caps).

Caps up for sale after going DIY? Shocking!



That just means you need more subwoofers.

Ha, yeah eventually I may have to. Currently JTR has cleaned out my wallet so that will have to wait.

Figures that I am in the market for good subs and live right in Norristown, PA (about 45 minute ride) but only have about $1,400 to part ways with so going with duals is out of the question. If you are thinking about selling them separately let me know. The only issue is I was planning on purchasing either a SVS PB12 + or Rythmik FV15HP today.

If you heard the pair together at Gorilla's place, you would want to hit up one of those payday loan places I always see commercials for...

+1....

If I possibly needed more subwoofer than my pair - I would buy these from you Andrew. I just don't need more than two in my 3500 cubic foot space. The only time these things tap out is when the dedicated 20 amp circuit does.


*keeps hitting hand on forehead

MUST RESIST! FOUR IS NOT NECESSARY!

Andrew,

Your gonna miss this effect with your new sealed subs.

Yeah, but extra headroom always sounds better. Can you imagine how awesome your front wall would look with quad captivators?

Love those videos... Really is a cool feeling getting that rush of wind from the Caps.


Yeah buddy... 4 Caps would be on a whole...notha...level...

Wife would love you for it too...

Do it for the wife.

Do it.

lol. Austin, our wives are cut from the same cloth. you know better.

Four is absolutely necessary.
Do it, Do it

Quad caps OMG Archaea's system is going to be sooo sick, you know he won't be able to resist, better start packing em up for him. Do It Jonathan

I've been living the dream, u know. Work's been a bit crazy since getting back from the trip, it just piles up while I'm gone so a vacation is fairly bitter sweet. I'm working today. WTF this sucks. I still haven't given the PSA enough listening time to post a decent review, I'll get that done. And I owe the BBQ technique to your GTG results thread. Why do today what I can put off till tomorrow?

So I gather you are going DIY? Do you have a build / design thread around? What components are you going with?

Hope all is well

Not sure if you pulled the trigger yet but you owe it to yourself to go listen to Gorilla's Caps. Words do not describe how big of a jump up they are. I realize they are more than you are looking to spend, but go listen, seriously. Suck it up and grab the duals, think of it this way, you're saving about a grand. It's just like putting money in your pocket :-) Besides the twins don't want to be separated, they're a team and like to share an amp.
