Anyone heard Shahinian Contra Bombarde Subwoofer

Just Curious. Being a Shahinian fan I was curious of listener impressions. It is a very rare item so not many listeners out there. One is for sale now on Ebay. I was under the impression that Shahinian stopped making them because they were so expensive to make. I guess the internal cabinetry is complex. I know Richard Shahinian commented it would be irritating to neighbors as it has such low response (flat to 17Hz).

I have been a very close friend of the Shahinian family since the late 70's and know of the Contra Bombarde sub very well. In my opinion this is perhaps one of the finest subs ever made. If you can snag one on ebay and you have the room for it, I would grab it. As with the majority of Richards products, they were very complex, overbuilt using Finland Birch plywood, and very expensive to hand build.

Just my .02 worth
