I own the MJ Acoustics 150 MK2 sub, which I use along with Merlin TSM MXr's.
The story I was told was that the people running MJ were originally with REL, so the subs are sonically quite close. According to my friend, who owns REL, my MJ Sub is faster than his Stratta III (he thinks it's faster and goes deeper), but I find them very close.
The MJ 150 claims output down to 13hz!!! Hmmmm, from a 10" sub? Not likely with any real volume, but I do find it goes almost impossibly low for it's size. It's a good match for Magnepans as well.
The 150 features digital readouts and a very precise and detailed system for settings. It also has a RF remote. I'd thought this to be silly at first, but now I understand that being able to EXACTLY dial in a sub from a listening position. You can also set presets for different types of music (4), which is also a feature I've come to use much more than I expected.
Built quality is very good, which it should be at this price point. For the size these are expensive subs. I use mine for music only. (SVS is what I have for the theater room), though it can work for HT in smaller rooms. The MJ are clearly aimed at audiophile 2 channel more than HT.
Cheers,
Rob
