Well, the guy has a MILLER & KREISEL V 125 Powered Subwoofer for $100.00.
Like new shape.

1. Is it worth it?

2. Will it sound better than my current set-up of 2 PSW10's?

Thanks guys,

David

    It's not a bad deal, but won't offer any improvement over your current setup.

    Cheers,

    Look on ebay, maybe you can talk him down a little, and flip it for some coin.

    Not to offend anyone but I'd say damn near anything is a step up from the psw10

    No offense taken..LOL..I have been relatively happy with the 2 PSW10's I know they have limitations, especially in the home theater niche. Any and all opinions are appreciated.

    I would say it would be a big step up. MK subs are very musical and were extremely awesome in their time. They were the THX standard. I've heard an 8" in a pushpull config and it could shake paintings off the walls easily and was extremely good with music.

    I liked 'em enough that I bought 2. They still usually fetch 2-250, so it's a pretty decent deal, assuming the sub is in good shape.
