Hey Folks,
I have often thought of adding a powered sub to my system. I have found an M&K MX-125 subwoofer for $100.

What do you folks think?
I have heard a lot of good about M&K, but also a little bad. I tried to llok up the cost of these too with no success. The mx-125II has a list price of $1200

So, any opinions on this beast?

Thanks in advance.

I would grab it. I have two MX-90's that I use as dual subs in my music system. These are truly incredible and I paid $200 each so $100 is a bargain for a higher model IMO.

Is it MX-125 or MX-125 MKII?
MKII has few improvements.
Regardless, $100 for a decent subwoofer is cheap price.
Even 8 inch generic brand costs more than that new.
Here is a link to manual for the later:

I have M&K satellites and love them. I'm not sure what you've heard bad about the brand, but I haven't...

I didn't say they are bad. Actually, M&K is very nice and well regarded brand.

I was just giving heads up to Mark about another sub that's locally listed and is highly regarded.
When subwoofer is in question, does SVS come in mind? :yes:
I'm pretty sure that M&K sub can not even come close to the SVS sub.

it is the mx-125, not the MKII

I think I might be able to get it for a bit less, but I'll have to see.

I'll be back
 
If you don't want it, tell me where it is..lol.
M&K, real M&K are musical and good for home theater..
SVS is a home theater brand, IMO.
 
I am running two MX-70 subs in stereo and they sound great for music and pretty good for HT. They don't go as low or as loud as the third sub I turn on for movies (Axiom EP500 ver.2) but they blend in better with my panel speakers. Sealed subs seem to work better for music than ported subs do imho. And 2 subs definitely sound better than just one.

If the sub is in good shape I would say go for it, especially at that price.

Not you... the OP said "I have heard a lot of good about M&K, but also a little bad."

I was just too lazy to hit the quote button on his post... sorry about the confusion. So, what bad has been said about M&K speakers?
 
I read a few reviews where people had problems or failure with the electronics. But only a few. I can't say I read anything about the performance.
That is it...............
