Black Friday Clearance Sale on Chane (Originally Chase) speakers and subwoofers

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving! As promised, here are our Black Friday / Clearance items:

M1 MTM Loudspeaker:

The M1 was designed to be our affordable, $175 music and theater monitor. They are nothing short of astonishing loudspeakers selling for a minimal price. Each speaker stands about 19 inches tall x 6.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep.
"
We have had customers compare them to far more expensive speakers, and have always "held our own".

You can find some information here: http://www.chanemusiccinema.com/chane-home-theater-loudspeakers/M1

We have 160 in stock, ready to deliver at $100 EACH (plus shipping)

The biggest problem will be wondering how much speaker one can get for $100. :)

SBE-118 Subwoofer

Our very own Jman reviewed the SBE-118 here: http://www.chanemusiccinema.com/forum/showthread.php?47809-Chane-SBE-118-Subwoofer-Review

And Peter Loeser, Home Theater Shack Staff member, penned his review here (includes the three Theater 10's): http://www.hometheatershack.com/for...073-chane-3-2-home-theater-system-review.html

The SBE stands for sealed bass engine, and the idea behind this subwoofer is to allow one to configure it in any way one wants - from a single unit with a Dayton SA-230 amp to a Quad pack with our very own MQ-600 amplifier.

Here is some pricing:

SBE-118 passive units: $400 each plus shipping (duals are suggested when possible)

Dayton SA-230 amp: $195 - will turn a single SBE-118 into a powered sub at $595 plus shipping. There is nothing on the market that will deliver this much clean bass for this type of $$$$.

Dayton SA-1000 amp: $375 - will turn a pair of SBE-118's into an $1175 package that will ROCK any theater room. This is the same package Peter tested.

MQ-600 amp: $450. This amp normally sells for $600 - Black Friday pricing is $450. Add a quad pack of SBE-118's and you will NEVER look back in terms of quality bass - for $2050, this system just plain ROCKS.

We have 65 SBE-118's at this price and 100 MQ-600's. The MQ-600 also makes for an incredible high end basic power amplifier. Three of these in your system at $1350 plus shipping will give you 5 channels of incredible power with a channel left over to drive a PAIR of SBE-118's. The MQ-600 also plays nice with any of the excellent DIY drivers - Stereo Integrity, TC- Sounds, Mach 5 - you name it. This amp is a beauty!

All Sales must be paid for via PayPal @ [email protected]

I am available during normal business hours, eastern time zone, Monday to Friday with questions @ 800-664-9485. Feel free to email questions, or PM me here.

We are set up to take all Paypal approved credit cards - we pay all fees.

Hello Everyone,
Craig told me that they were not pleased with the way my subs looked so they put
an "extra coat" on them.
They are shipping all four subs and the MQ-600 on Thursday so I should receive them on Mon/Tues.
I'm looking forward to Da Boom!

sbdman; I'll let you know how it sounds "doubling up".
Thank You (as well as several others) for your invaluable advice in my subwoofer/amp decisions.

Blessings,
Brian

Tonto - I did have the conversation with one of the "powers" of Home Theater Shack today, and we discussed this unusual idea. It was well received, and we are going to discuss it further to firm up the details.

It may take another day or two to put it all together, but for now, it will be something done exclusively for Home Theater Shack members.

Where can I find some independent reviews of ya'lls speakers? Looking into some mains as my NHT are simply lacking in the low end.

This "unusual" word has me in suspense. Between all the Chane deleted and mangled threads with missing product pages, makes me sad to see what was a great blend, disappear - Chane Music and Cinema. The next generation A5rx-c WILL be a huge success (+1, Tonto!), but still needs a great sub for the best HT experience.

But I'm happy to see Craig still offering several great quality/value products that I'd love to buy. The 18" Eminence driver he's been using in the SBE-18 is being repeated by an up and coming, fast selling sub manufacture's top end model, but, you can only get the passive version here, for $400, then just choose which amp to drive it with. I bought his Eminence drivers (4) he sold previously with an iNuke 6000dsp, and like Glock above, can attest the bass is unreal! Now, Glock is going for the single digit Hz to totally shake and break his home.

I also have (2) M-1's for rears, and they have overall a very enjoyable and smooth full range response. You can't buy more speaker than this for less.

Now... where did those Theater-10s go???

I'm getting ready to purchase some speakers and tried calling a couple days ago but have not heard back. It's tough but I'm trying to be patient (not something I do well at :) )

Bruce - I am sorry - Our secretary did forward a message with your phone number in it, and I misplaced it. I will be in the office Monday morning if you can call again.

And for anyone - Until I get the go ahead to post here, I cannot put the information up.

But anyone who calls me at 800-664-9485 will get the info directly starting Monday morning.

For a hint, we will be offering 30 M-1 systems as 5.0 (150 speakers total) and 6 Theater Ten systems as 5.0 (30 speakers total) in an in home trial unlike any that's ever been done. It will be the ultimate in low risk purchases.

I should also announce now that I am no longer part of Chane Music and Cinema. I will be "re-booting" Chase, and all the specials will be on Chase only products - M-1 speakers, Theater-10's, SBE-118 subwoofers, some of our original series SS-18.1, SS-18.2 and VS-18.1's ...

Great News Craig! Will you also be able to transfer the forum threads from Chane back to Chase?

I'm anxiously awaiting my new subs and amp! I just sold my last remaining
vented sub today (an old Def Tec PF15TL that I bought ages ago).
Can't wait to hear 8 sealed 18" drivers! I've been collecting some additional movies that
have great LFE and ready to Shake The House!
Thanks for the encouragement SBDman!

Blessings,Brian

P.S. I personally think the SS.18.2 is one of the meanest looking (and Great Sounding)
subs ever but with it's dual 18's it is a heavy beast. I Love Mine!...

Brian - I don't think the old "Chase" forum will be back. Discussions will be had with HTS, and we may possibly have a forum here in the near future. We may even bring in my financial services company - we have a lot of great dealers (auto) with whom I can help forum members get excellent deals on vehicles.

There is a lot of detail to get worked out - as you know, waiting for your subwoofers that should have shipped on Thursday. I am still waiting confirmation on this for you. :hsd:

Hey sbdman!,
I just listened to Haddaway's "What Is Love" cranked up pretty loud (according to Rat Shack meter, 110-111dB,
appx 6' off the floor in the middle of my 15' x 25' entertainment room).
That may not be as loud as some of your systems but it is loud to me! It is so Clean sounding that I have to
watch myself and not listen to it loud for extended periods of time. One time last year my left ear rang for several
weeks. I was sitting too close to one of my side surrounds. lol.
After awhile this morning I had to turn it down a bit. My XPA-1 and XPA-2 (these power my center and mains) LED's were really dancing.
No red showing but pretty close!
I also smelled a little electronic smoke (pushing a little too much wattage through my crossovers again.
May have to replace a few board capacitors again soon. lol).

When using the Audyssey XT32 calibration recommendation, I think it really limits my subs by instructing me to turn down the gain on my MQ-600
(I usually prefer to run them a little hotter) but they still sound Great!
I can't wait for my new subs to arrive but my system sounds Oh So Good already. I makes me smile ear to ear.
Nothing like 11 speakers, 2 x SS18.2's, Multi Channel Music Mode, and a few thousand watts to brighten up a Saturday morning!

Blessings,Brian :bigsmile:

P.S. Did I mention I LOVE MY SS18.2's!!!

Does anyone have links to speaker info and reviews? Very little available (I found the M1 intro thread here, - but no real reviews or comparisons. The picture looks good but how does it sound? And is the M1 or Theater10 a better speaker? Sorry - not much information to evaluate options.
