I have had a couple good experiences from dealing with AV123 (budget speakers). I have also been tempted to try out the MFW-15, but some of the problems that have plagued this subwoofer, I did not want to take the chance (besides what a pain to have to return ship a 125lb box). It is really unfortunate that they have the QA issues and a questionable business model ( super sales, raffles, shutting down forums, banning members for raising issues), many other ID companies are surviving these economic times and offering a good product. I have to wonder how long they will survive with the legal issues now compounding an unsteady business.
