Help. I have a virus!
 

No, not that one; the audio one. My dealer will give me full retail trade in for my 1.1 speakers to upgrade to 2.1s. Worth it? 6 x 8” bass vs. 4 x 6.5”. That’s more surface area than the Gotham’s (I think I got the simple math right this time). Plus 1 dB better sensitivity. Would I even need the Gotham’s? Anybody with the 2.1s care to share their impressions? Or am I just crazy for thinking I might change what I’m already extremely pleased with?

It’s not my money, so I think you should do it ;)

I own 2 pairs of XRT2K’s, both sets are Tri-Amped and I still use my Gotham’s in both Theaters.

My advise is to definitely go for it. Huge improvement across the board from where you are today with your 1.1’s. :yes:

I knew I could count on you, Ivan, to help push me over the edge, lol! Are you using the 2301s at cape cod to drive the front panels?

Ha! No; in the Cape I use three MC-1.2KW’s per channel.

In Florida, I use an MC-2KW on the Bass bottoms, and two MC-1.2KW’s per channel.

The XRT2K’s absolutely love high power SS watts. :thumbsup:

* These are “end all” Lifetime Speakers. Zero regrets here.:ok:

I’m surprised that they weigh twice as much as 1.1s

Twelve 8” drivers will do that. ;)

The XRT2K’s have Twelve 12” drivers. :p

With the dealer giving you a full retail trade credit I'd have to say yes. Just do it. :thumbsup:

Stuff of dreams. If you can swing it, do it!

Rob, you have the room and the gear to go with a 2.1. I knew all along you could not resist the ultra Mac. Mac has been making speakers for a very long time. They have a tried and true technology dating back for decades. YES ABSOLUTELY GO FOR IT!! You are getting a great deal. How can you say no??

Best
