Well, I will log into this thread and say I've become the lucky owner of a Contra Bombarde for $675, serial #18. One has floated around Seattle for a couple years and now I have it--minus one caster...the two drivers jumper cabled with lesser gauge and alligator clips. I intend to resolder the 10 or 12 gauge originals back on. I believe this previous owner wanted to build a crossover for it.
I have it hooked up to a nice Harmon Kardon A/V reciever with a cutoff signal to the sub of 40hz and its own 115W amp. It really shakes my whole 2-story house with little effort. More important, however, I never knew true bass quality till now, I realize. --Jonathan Cameron ([email protected]) 05 May 2005
