Review 3 of 10

Price Paid:  $1000.00 from EBAY

Summary:
I have been looking for a complete subwoofer for almost 2 years. My 1st sub was a JBL. It was an OK sub, but nothing to brag about. So I upgraded to an infiniy IL120. Then I added a second IL120. They sounded pretty good, speacially for $300 a piece. After a while they just didn't do it for me anymore. So I went back on a my long search again. I tried a martin Logan sub, Velodyne HGS 15, Velodyne SPL 12 and even the over Hyped up VELODYNE DD15 (They were all good subs by the way but all overpriced). On August 20th of 2004, I finally found the truth and now I am a believer. After reading the reviews on this great site, I decided to give the Earthquake a try (I 've been hesitant at 1st, because they are mostly known for their car audio products). So I bought 2 Earthquake supernovas MKV 15. What a huge diffrence these BASS monsters have made to my home theater. Amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing !!! These are so good I had to send the 2nd one back. One is more than my walls can handle. I have a pretty big room (28' x 22') and this baby fills the entire room with beautifull thundering bass. It brought out sounds I've never never heard before. even in non action movies. If you have the money to spend, buy one of these and I will promiss you, your home theater system will be complete. Even if you don't have the money, GET A 2ND JOB and save up for it instead of wasting your money on other cheaper or even more expansive subs for that fact. And while you are at, make sure you save a little extra money to hire "appartment movers" or "2 man and a van" or even "8 brothers helping others" to help you carry this beast to it resting spot in your home theater. Trust me, you will need all the help you can get. This thing will brake your back ( a 90 lb heavey weight champion) . These babies retail for as much as $3000 at some stores, but you can pick one up on line for a fraction of the price. I honestly cannot understand how people could need a better or more expansive sub other that the supernova 15". So if you hate your neighbors, investing in supernova MKV15 in one legal way to settle your differences with them.

Strengths:
Very well built. Easy set up. Extreme bass. Pretty compact for a 15" sub. Musical but even more unbelievable with home theater. your haitful neibghor will learn to show you respect very fast.

Weaknesses:
Heavy but you won't be moving it a whole lot anyway.

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
