Well, the MFW-15 has finally been released and AV123 couldn't be prouder. The ~100 pound MFW-15 subwoofer, starting at $599 each, features a 25mm front baffle and plenty of bracing along with a custom designed 15” driver, 350 watt high efficiency design amplifier with separate control panel for Level, Phase and Low Pass Frequency at the top back of the cabinet and an internally folded slot port. The subwoofer is offered in beautiful Rosewood, Cherry, Black and the unique Moho. Discuss "AV123 MFW-15 Subwoofer" here. Read the article.

They are claiming 15-19 Hz output in-room response with this thing (if I remember the article correctly now). That's pretty dang low. I'd like to see the actual stats myself, too.

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,533 0 113 Feb 1, 2008 #8 There already is a review of this sub by Craigsub I believe. Got high marks.
BobMac Enthusiast Jul 15, 2007 13 0 0 Napa VAlley Feb 1, 2008 #9 Greatness That wood looks great, and it supposedly sounds great too...all for a great price. One of those subs with five matching satellites would be a great combo. Where's my thesaurus?

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,533 0 113 Feb 1, 2008 #11 Yes, but at least you got a good deal on the Servo15
mike c Audioholic Warlord Jul 27, 2005 9,514 0 113 Manila Feb 1, 2008 #13 the wood finish on these things are probably worth the price ... if only I can find a matching color.

j_garcia Audioholic Jedi Jul 11, 2005 32,533 0 113 Feb 1, 2008 #15 I didn't actually see your review of it, if you have posted it Craig, I heard from someone else. Would you have any info you'd like to share on this guy? (summary?) I'm real curious to hear this sub. Mr Sheep there sure is a character alright...but he's a good guy

J Johnd Audioholic Samurai Oct 19, 2005 2,792 0 0 Feb 1, 2008 #16 Yeah Craig...inquiring minds want to know. Specifically, I'd like to know does it actually hit 15 Hz, and is it fairly accurate? If you've posted the graphs somewhere, as J asked, a link would be nice. Although, I'm pretty tired right now, so just the two answers would work for me. And like he wrote, Sheep ain't so bad. Thanks

Click to expand... yup! and dual PB13 Ultras too i still have some space ... 7.7 sounds nice kidding! but it looks like I need to go satin black with these guys if I do jump in ... but I will be waiting for the gloss finishes on their center channel.

C craigsub Audioholic Chief Jan 9, 2005 818 0 28 Feb 1, 2008 #18 One of my favorite torture tests is the WOTW Pods emerge scene. Here is a comparison of a single MFW-15, Dual MFW-15's and a single PB-13 Ultra. Note what the Ultra is doing in the 13-17 Hz range. For a single, 13.5 inch driver, this guy is incredible. Also ... what makes this scene so interesting is that rather than a simple sine wave, the sub is being asked to deliver multiple frequencies simultaneously. This was done using the Peak Hold function, and gives an idea of max SPL across a wide frequency range. This was taken at the listening position - about 13 feet away, in our upstairs theater room. Both subs are put in the same position, and of course, both will realize the same room gain from that position. The Ultra: Single MFW-15: Dual MFW-15's:

B Bluesmoke Audioholic Chief Jan 19, 2006 756 0 43 Feb 1, 2008 #19 I've been looking at this sub for a while. I hope AV123 doesn't raise their prices until I visit the States in a few months. I want one. They could raise it $100 and still have people waiting to buy them I think.
