I haven't been around in almost a year, as I have been in a new position at work, and working on launching my own business. What big things have I been missing?

How did the MFW-15 turn out? Has AV123 lauched the BMF or the other subs yet?

Who eventually won Craigsub sub ratings?

Are the elemental designs subs still popular?

I see Tom V. has left SVS, but how are their new subs sounding?

Now that I have more free time, I would really like to get caught up.

Help me out guys!

I'll answer the two I know...

When he stopped doing them on here, the A7-900 was still on top.

And we just got our new CNC in and running under our power yesterday so I'd say we're still decently popular around here :)

Nope, AFAIK there's still no timetable for the BMF OR the X-plosive.

A7-900 "won" the highest score on Craigsub's ratings. Here's a link to his final list:

Well, they still aren't in stock, so I think that means eD is humming along just fine :D

Not sure yet. The new PB12-Plus, new PC12-Plus, and PC12-NSD have just released. We should be hearing impressions very soon.

Ascends sells Rythmik subs now. Hsu has veneered subs and a 15" sealed. Epik still sells but is out of stock. And no matter what the upgrade bug will always hit unless you stay off the forum's and be happy with what you got and save $$ :)

Wow, I did not know that. So no more subwoofer tests huh? :-)

ILkka says he still expects to be able to do some limited testing. I wouldn't hold my breath.

"Craig is now in the speaker business."

Yes, and working on an 18 inch ported sub called the Sasquatch. I believe that Mark Seaton has a hand in the design.

I wonder if Craig will do any more testing when the Sasquatch is launched?

Could it unseat the A7-900?

I am still looking for professional tests of a number of subs...

Tom Vodhanel is the co-founder of SVS and used to be head of R/D and tech support.

Haven't been able to find out exactly where he went but he's not active on any forums as far as I can tell.

I have heard that he is working on hot rods now. I'm sure he cashed out with enough money to be alright. :-)
