    Side work for product reps pays

    Scored a pretty badass little item this weekend. I had to go to Portland to do an AV install for one of our product rep's son's new house. Install a bunch of speakers, volume controls, TVs, components, etc. Afterwards, we were back at his house, looking at all the cool gear he had stashed in his garage, when I mentioned I needed a subwoofer for my living room system. Well, this is what he pulls out:



    Miller & Kriesel MX-70. This motherfucker is a little badass. Dual 8" drivers, positioned in a push-pull configuration, 125 watts RMS, powered via an internal on-board power amplifier. Currently, this sub retails at just over $1k. This model is an older one by about 7-8 years, but still went for the same amount. How much did I get it for? Coming back another day next week to run speaker wire, coax, and set up his personal system.

    Who the hell repped M&K in PDX?

    Sweet fucking swap, dewd. You will love that sub. Clean solid thunder, pretty snappy, and of course, the best bass is almost always found in ported boxes...

    Now you really need to swap me that HK for this Onkyo and a tiny bit of cash.

      MK makes very good shit. My friend's parents just built a ridiculous house, and the media room has all MK speakers and sub. Sounds amazing.

        I just bought a velodyne on a whim. Did I make a mistake?

        Trades are always badass. I used to barter all the time - never got a 1k sub though.

            Looks like a really nice piece! What other speakers are you running? Room dimensions?

            Nice score for sure.

                  Shhhhh......It's more fun just to watch the animals in the zoo. Soon I expect he'll throw his poop at the glass. Or lick his finger. (Jscotty)

                    I saw a monkey jacking off once at the zoo. I was like 5.

                      I don't think I would have known what was going on at 5. Funny how fast we turned Josh's thread. We are such a bunch of ADD bastards.

                        I didn't know the term at the time - but i remembered the image forever. I also remember the time a hippo had diarrhea in the water. It looked like boiling chili and smelled like death.

                          so - velodyne subs. Are they any good or should I return it? it's a 10'' and hit really hard in the store.

                              Nice tip. You'll love the sub, don't let the size fool you(did that sound ghey?). I have the vx100? and satellite speakers, M&K makes some pretty impressive shit.
