HS Envoy Owners (or other models)

[Ronald5599]

So who are the HS Envoy (other models are of course welcome) owners on the Forum? We should compare notes & interesting stories, help each other with issues if/when they arise, share pictures, that sort of thing etc.

I have an Envoy running on my showroom floor - does that count? Not one single problem in the whole time it's been there.

Just added Spaudio II. Sounds great.

Tell us more about the SpAudio II.  A few of us have been discussing it.  I'd love to hear your impressions of it.

I have an Envoy that was installed at my home in January 2005.  How can I help you?

Off the top of my head, there's Bill Stevenson, jsimo7, Brookenstein, Gomboman, tonyp, luvmytub, friar96 and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone.

Addendum:  The above members have Envoys.  Other HS owners are st18901, lawdawgva, Georgiapeach, Tatooed Lady, buckee, spiman, JackL, Lori, michael wobbe, anoroc, bear bath, ebirrane, MattNY, aquatub, mxw128, pruned hands, iggythewetcat, tubaholic, im45us, Perk1, jaj11, salesdvl and some others, I'm sure.

Well, it sounds far better with the speakers than the first Spaudio did.

The one drawback I see is that if you want to have the highest quality sound in the tub, you are going to need to put the external speakers right next to the thing, unless you can hang em' up high and run 'em loud without bugging the neighbors.

The only reason I think that is a 'drawback' is that some folks are interested in placing the speakers elsewhere, away from the tub so they can have music in the yard when not using the tub. That will work, of course, and the remote control gives you easy control over both the internal and external systems, but then you don't get the nice crisp sound when you ARE in the tub. BTW - the remote is RF so you can use it all over the yard: no 'line of sight' problems.

Also: if the tub lid is closed and you are enjoying the speakers on the patio or whatever, the tub makes an Excellant sub-woofer.

Name dropper.
Issues with the Grandee thus far (one month into ownership, occasional "bugs" in the system, etc)....
1) loud pump 2, possibly due to plumbing underneath hitting part of the frame, etc and increasing the sound of the pump.
2) 1/4" 'cut' in the underside of the cover, NOT on a seam or other "obvious" area that can be explained.
3) ummm....that's it.

Hi.......I'm a  Envoy owner. Had it since 4-1-2005 no issues with the tub but had a cover mount plate inside the cover come loose and the dealer fixed it and installed a new insert within a couple weeks

Thanks Chas for the info.  Thanks East Tx for the names of the Envoy & HS owners. I will contact them and get going on a small Envoy owners group (if they want).


Bill_Stevenson & Jsimo7: I know I am just very new to this, however, what about getting an Envoy Owners Group together. It could be within the Forum of course. Just a thought. I will contact Brookenstein, Gomboman, tonyp, luvmytub & friar96 off of East Tx's list. If anyone can remember any other Envoy owners please let us know. Thanks.

[Tubaholic]

Grandee owner going on 18 months now
nothing to report on issues all is fine...........

[Ronald5599]

Thanks for all the reports on your HS hot tub. We are still looking for as many Envoy owners as possible. If you or someone you know owns one, please speak up. Again, East Tx, thanks for your list.
