oztheatre Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well I'm finally selling off these beast speakers. I'm putting in Krix Neuphonix and Epicentrix gear as the new room is much smaller than my previous one 6.7 x 9 down to 5 x 5.2 ish - thats 60 down to 27sq metres. These have recently sold on another thread in Melb for $1450 each so I'd be asking the same for the Triple 12's. http://www.jtrspeakers.com/home-audio/triple-12ht/ The Captivator sub without plate amp @ $1900. http://jtrspeakers.com/home-audio/captivator/ Plate amp $850 - used for about 10hrs. New 15amp australian plug attached. This is the FP14000 top of the line clone amp. The slanted 8 surrounds sell for $999 USD each plus shipping and GST. 2 of them have screw holes in the top of them as I had used projector mounts to hang them from underside of ceiling. Screw holes do not effect their performance or operation. Asking $450 each. http://jtrspeakers.com/home-audio/slanted-8/ - what's up with their site? not working at present. total of $8900. Will sell as a complete system for 8K. New, this complete system will cost $11,400 approx, give or take a couple of hundred and based on shipping a pallet at 2K AUD, GST at 10% and no tariff. Can be shipped at your expense anywhere in Australia. PM or email if interested. cheers, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurK Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Good luck with the sale Rich. I can tell you now that whoever picks up the kit will be blown away. I sold my T12s that Rich was refering to and the cost going from T12 to Cat12s was not worth the 2-5% difference in the system vs 3 T12s for the cost of 1 Cat 12. Personally I would run them in a 5 x 5.s room in a heart beat They are effortless and sound amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond1503559575 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Couple of questions if that's OK: You say "plate amp", is that what it is? Does the sub have a cutout to mount it? I ask because I thought a plate amp was designed to be fitted into the sub enclosure, but you've linked to a passive sub (I assume it's the captivator 2400 you're selling?). Does it, then, have binding posts? Also, some rudimentary sums tell me it's 3 x triple 12HT speakers? Or does the "triple" mena the number of boxes rather than drivers? Willing to split the sub out? Freight from where? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj72 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 In addition to what Arthur has said I will add that the Captivator 2400 Sub is an incredible speaker with output that blows you away. Very well priced considering the cost to bring one in is prohibitive. Good luck with the sale Richard. Must be hard to part with such great gear.

And yes it has binding posts. 3 X Triple 12 speakers - 3 of them as per this image; Freight from SE Qld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond1503559575 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks for that, will give it some thought. Big $ to move that box from Qld I'd imagine, may be the killer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond1503559575 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Heaps more if you were bringing them from the USA. Freight from US + 10% GST is probably about $550 (based on http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=139248&hl=%2Bcaptivator). Probably $400+ to freight from GC to Sydney. This difference isn't as much as I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably $400+ to freight from GC to Sydney. This difference isn't as much as I would have thought. Nah, freight's gone up, dollar's dropped and shipping this to you would be around 200-250. Anyway I'll probably just wait for a local buyer, no shipping, no hours spent packaging them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps fair enough, just see you were only talking about the sub, I was thinking it was the total package, apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps fair enough, just see you were only talking about the sub, I was thinking it was the total package, apologies. No prob, my assumptions all seemed to be wrong anyway!

Very well priced considering the cost to bring one in is prohibitive. Good luck with the sale Richard. Must be hard to part with such great gear. I cranked up the system on the weekend to reference level and put on the album Crash by the Dave Matthews band.. I sat in front of the speakers at about 3.8 metres and listened to #41 and Say Goodbye... It was like having the band in the room playing live.. it was just phenomenal.. so crisp and loud and yet no distortion, no hissing between songs.. just incredible.. shame they're such a PITA business to deal with.. Will be hard to part with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
