I think the EP350 may have just been bumped from consideration. AV123 MFW-1515" woofer, 350 watts, and a 18-200Hz rating for $599.

Yeah. I don't really like the look of them. And that AV123 sub still comes out to be a better deal, especially with the 15" woofer.

Which is why being able to play below 20hz is not that critical and not really missed. In my A/B testing I could tell which subs went lower but I also never felt I was really missing anything with the higher tuned subs. Which is exactly what I was wondering last night. The PB12-NSD I have here plays down in to the teens just like the PB13, but the driver size, box size, amp all play a part in how each sub sounds. The PB13 has a more airy, encompassing sound to it compared to the PB12. The EP600 has an even more encompassing sound to it than the PB13. Which leads to more questions that I will ask in a separate thread. It does seem like others noticed the difference between the EP500/600 for movies and it was quite a difference. Those subs are out of my price range though.

Yes there are quite a few offerings that seem to go lower for less when compared to the EP350.
I don't exactly know why, but my marketing-hype sense goes all tingly whenever people start talking about the MFW15. I wish somebody would hurry up and measure the thing.

They have. This guy called "craigsub" who used to post on AVS has a new site with sub ratings. He seems to be well regarded within the AVS community and does his testing with a group of audiophiles and engineers. Check out his site here: http://www.tweakcityaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11Here's what he said about the MFW-15: Listening results: The MFW-15 amazed the panel by largely matching the PB13 Ultra in all musical areas with the exception of pipe organ. Bass is deep, tight and powerful, with no overhang at all. The cabinet work done on this subwoofer is absolultely stellar, especially in its price range. By stellar, we mean just how inert it is. The cabinet barely vibrates during the most powerful passages, and this helps the MFW-15 to get its excellent musical rating. It is, as an earlier graph shows, very linear in its response curve, all the way to 100 Hz. It is in the area of slam an linearity that allows this subwoofer to match more high priced units. The Steely Dan disc on this subwoofer is a bass head's dream, with a lot of the panel requesting to hear it again after the test. Stanley Clarke was also as crystal clear on the MFW-15 as with any subwoofer we have had.

I have seen the list. Its graphs I am interested in, like those done on hometheatershack.com. FWIW, Craig,through his newly formed company, is now associated with Mr. Seaton/AV123. Edited to correct exceedingly bad grammer.

Saturday I had a bunch of people from work over playing Rockband. Totally addicted two of them who have already gone out and bought the gear, but I digress.
One of the gals was leaning against the wall in the corner opposite the EP500. During the victory rumble after a song, the wall she was leaning on vibrated so much she screamed and looked behind her. Very very funny!
This reminds me, I need to look up the volume limiter feature in my Denon manual. The more drinks you serve the more people sneak up and turn the dial.
