Wonder if they're still using HDF, and what that sucker will weigh if so

In the OP under specs it does say HDF....

Looks like a decent budget sub with amplification. Should provide very nice performance for the average user.

M-215 vs V3611 vs FV25HP

Nice. From the CEA2010 measurements I deduct that its frequency response is down to 25Hz +/- 3dB and 20Hz +/- 6dB.


Which is very, very nice, but 16Hz let alone 12Hz are not realistic to advertise IMO. Unless there is other measurements that say differently...

Wow they are not messing around. Going after the ID big boy models.

What's next? Dual 18"?.... lol... oh crap, I think they heard me.

Their specs for the Monolith 15 were accurate. That sub is flat down to around 16hz with extremely low distortion and has usable output down to 12Hz. No reason to believe these specs are not accurate.

I think it's valid because while CEA2010 shows raw peak output, most of the time you will not be maxing out the sub and in that case you can opt for a different EQ (extension over output) and hit those numbers, just not at the CEA 2010 rated output.

Usually room gain means you wind up with PLENTY of output down deep, once you have a sub that has the displacement to work at those low freqs.

Yep, any way you slice it this sub should work out quite nicely.

Holy crap...

Those numbers suggest that @ 16~80Hz, The M-215 actually averaged almost 1dB higher...

The M-215 is 1.7 ~ 3.5dB higher @ 20~40Hz, but 1~2dB lower above 63Hz.

It seems it's tuned to 16Hz, so it doesn't have the bottom end like the FV25HP.

I will try to get one for review as well, just like the Monolith 15"... However, this time the bar has been set much higher...

 

[MKtheater]

As mentioned it was probably in THX mode when those numbers were ran, I wonder how the extension mode works. Lose a little at 16-20hz but gain at 12.5hz.

 

[blake18]

Good lord, this looks amazing!

Well at $2500 it’s playing with some very serious company, SVS PB-16 ULTRA, PSA TV3612, RYTHMIK F25HP etc.

I would still opt for one of the big boys for reliability and customer service, but we will have to see what the street price ends up being, I’m sure it going to garner a lot of fans.

I read some stories about monoprice customer service but I think everybody will have an issue at some time. Out of the ones posted I would take the PSA or Rythmik.

 

[golden78]

Sounds nice, but i thought my monolith 15 was heavy.. damn

 

[KidHorn]

I would opt for 2 15's on sale over this. Mainly to avoid the extra cost of back surgery.
