We would like to welcome Chase Home Theater (owned by craigsub) as a new sponsor here at Home Theater Shack.


Many of you already know about Chase Home Theater, but for those who don't, Chase has come a long way over the years, developing subwoofers and speakers that have excelled to the forefront of greatness in many ways. If you haven't looked at their products lately, please be sure to check them out at Chase Home Theater's website.

We are currently reviewing a speaker system from Chase that includes the following:

2 x VS18.1 Passive Subs
Dayton SA-1000 Amp
3 x SHO-10 Speakers

To celebrate our new relationship with Chase Home Theater, we are going to team up to give away this system to one of our members. This is a heavy duty giveaway valued at over $3,000 smacks! Go ahead and say it... WOW!

Be on the lookout for the official giveaway announcement and qualification details... coming soon!

Hey All,

At on point I saw a pic of the SHO 10's with the grill off. and now all I find is a single pic with the grill in place. What I saw with the grill off looked like a top of the line Seas driver with copper phase plug. The 6.5" Seas driver is the same driver Joseph Audio uses in their top shelf 2 way's. And Chase is using a tweeter that looks identical to the tweeters on my B&W DM303 speakers and the B&W CC3 center channel speakers. This is an excellent tweeter with infinite damping like the Nautilus tweeters but with a larger neodymium magnet structure.

I'll wait until I get them home before I let you know for sure. A 5.1 speaker array will definitely free up some cash for room tuning. I'll keep a pair of DM303 speakers for rear surrounds these do such a great job of staging music and movies and disappearing into the sound.

DJBump,

You are right, the center channel drivers are the drivers I described earlier and I am mistaken. I guess it is wishful thinking on my part. Thank you for the pic of the SHO-10's.
Still a beautiful driver compliment. I may have to replace the center channel on the 5.1 package with the soon to come MTM.

Thanks for your help.

But now the real question..., when is the review slated for presentation to the masses who are chomping on their computer keyboards as we write. Promises were made, hopes and dreams are fading into twilight with each passing of the minute hand another mind lost to the relentless passing...,

Ah, blah, blah, blah! But when do you think.

Hi Guys - For some clarification about the M1 monitor ...

Each monitor has two Kevlar 5.25 inch woofers with phase plugs. The tweeter is a silk dome with a dedicated aluminum baffle.

Production has started, and we should have them rolling in March. They will get vetted at our GTG in April.

From there, we may do a "pass it forward" with a trio of these speakers to let guys try them for two weeks at a time.

I am really looking forward to some forum member reviews on your speakers and subs.

CraigSub,

You know men, for those who cannot make the trek..., like me in Maine. Have you considered a conference call on Skype, with an open computer microphone and camera. Those reviewing from a distance over the net, the music may loose fidelity and impact but to watch the proceedings, hear comments, watch body language and see the subs in action..., the opportunity is priceless.

But, what is a GTG anyway? Is it like a shoot-out only better. You know I could get a few interested people together here. You may even sell a few pieces of gear.

Can you let me know..., us know...

Now I'm excited..., I won't sleep for a week in anticipation of this event.

For something in late April, we can accomodate 40 people here. We can actually have three theater setups going at once, although two of them might interfere with each other.

Theater 1 is appx. 25x24 with a 106 inch projections system
Theater 2 is appx. 27x25 with a 65 inch Panasonic plasma
Theater 3 is appx. 44x14.5, also with a 65 in Panasonic plasma

Are those rooms bedrooms??? LOL I jest.
As I saw those room size numbers:
I was thinking that with 3 different sized rooms, using the same equipment, you could demonstrate the differences in power, equalization, and speaker placement required to achieve a particular desired result in rooms of varying sizes.
Thinking further, I thought a dissassembly and reassembly of a subwoofer or a main with an explanation of all of it's component parts would be a useful and interesting demonstration.
And thirdly if there is 3 differing signal sources, amps or AVRs, and EQs to compare, that too would make for an interesting GTG.
And of course, between your company and those masses attending, you would be offering "Special" pricing on Chase Home Theater products for those who will be mightily impressed with the demo and take some units home with them, purchased direct from the company CEO with his own REAL signature (autograph) affixed!
Now THAT"S the way to make Home Theater Shack members feel "special".

So ... if I am reading this correctly ... I need to give a discount to people willing to look at my ugly signature on our products? :D

Sorry - I could not resist. :devil:

Seriously - there are some good ideas here. If things work out, we will have quite the display of products. We also are going to put the onus of the Skype on our 18 and 20 year olds. They have wanted it, and now the old man has no choice.

And I hope my humour doesn't offend anyone. We take the products seriously, in terms of delivering a lot for your dollar. We don't take ourselves too seriously. This business should be fun, especially for our customers. :hsd:

I note that you have been on the audio "websites" for some years and have made a huge contribution to the education of hundreds of other enthusiasts with your participation through the forums etc. I like your brand of internet activity.
And now here you are in the midst of building a business model which offers products in the very area of your own long term interests and expertise via the internet. That's a great human interest story and a true American enterprise one of which you should be very proud. I wish you good luck and fortune. I just might make the trip to Erie to hear your story.
