[QUOTE="Steve Payne, post: 51105, member: 231"] Re: Acceptability of Turbosound Floodlights I know there was some gnashing of teeth a while back over the erroneous message that Turbo was going to stop making the blue paint available. 99% sure that AM&S (US distributor) has some in stock. As I mentioned, part number is PBL-10. As far as TSW721/TFL780 subs (exact same sub) you just need to keep in mind that they were designed from the get-go to be used in multiples for larger systems. One is pretty useless, 2 not much better, 4 blocked with the mouths coupled is pretty much the minimum to start getting a sense of what they are supposed to do. 6 really start to come alive. The difference between 4 and 6 aside is pretty surprising. Of course, even more is better, depending upon your needs - think Pink Floyd. :-) I do think there are better subs out there today (Turbo TSW218 for one), but there are a lot of pluses for the 21s. At under 200 lbs. they are pretty easy to handle and stack. Their sonic character compliments the Flash/Flood well. As has been mentioned, rec-oning a 21" is not for the faint of heart and it is expensive. As has also been pointed out, with proper power and Turbo settings, I find that surrounds simply wear out before I experience any other failure. I ran an 18 Flood/24 721 rig for many years with great success before I moved into newer generation Turbo systems. I still have 20 of the 721s working everyday. [/QUOTE]
