Review 5 of 6 Summary: I am both a professional and personal user of M&K products, not a retailer. For anyone that does not already know this, M&K is the leading professional audio speaker manufacturer. Everyone from Dolby&DTS, to Trevor Rabin(YES), George Lucas, THX, a host of digital editors & DVD authoring companies, and now even the mastering man himself on the east coast Bob Ludwig use MK. If you check out your liner notes on pretty much a who's who of music, you will find Gateway Mastering and Bob Ludwig(on a side note, his personal best master is Tori Amos, Boys for Pele. Buy it now if you do not own it. He has installed two of these subs in his newer DVD mastering suite.
If you want deep truly tactile bass, then this is definitely a sub you need to look into. It is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but the odds are very good that any movie you may be watching had its LFE signal mixed on this sub. Certainly not a sub for apartment dwellers, unless you plan on being evicted quite quickly, as your neighbors will feel about as much bass as you will. It does have a lower wife acceptance factor than say a sunfire sub, but still its worth it. There are subs that may be a touch more musical, and certainly subs that get a little deeper(REL), but this is the standard for the motion picture industry, need I say more?? Every single second of audio for Star Wars The Phantom Menace was mixed using this product, as well as the new Star Wars film currently in Production. Strengths: This is the industry standard for the Motion Picture/Professional Multi-Channel Audio Industry Weaknesses: none Similar Products Used: M&K MX-125 (few years ago) M&K MX-200 (still have, quite nice)
