m & k subs ?


i am in the market for a new subwoofer. i had an m & k mx100 for about 15 years before it finally gave out. the sub is mainly used for movies. i am just wondering if i should stick to m & k or start investigating other avenues. i have found very little feedback on this website about m & k compared to other brands so i was starting to doubt if m & k is still one of the better ones out there. i have snell c/v as my lcr snell e/II for sides and snell k/II for rears all driven with mcintosh equipment. i was ready to pull the trigger on a m & k mx350 but now would consider any suggestions that audiogon members might think to be a better option. thanks in advance for any feedback you may give me!

M&K still make great HT subs. I had an MX 150, but listened to the 350 driven by big Mac gear in the dealer's "Hi-end" room. I was floored and bought the 150 on the spot. I have no idea how it was hooked up, I didn't know much then. I sold it about a year later and picked up a REL storm III. The main problem as I remember it was it relied on something external to set the crossover point. In HT the processor did this just fine, but no such luck for stereo listening. Those 2 12" woofers really hit hard, but was always overwhelming. Hope this helps.
