Hello,
I have two "projects" for sale - both not working as is, but can easily be taken advantage of.
The first is an AV123 MFW-15 subwoofer, a giant 100 lbs. ported monster, in black. This subwoofer is notorious for bad amplifiers, and this one indeed has a bad amplifier. I have an amplifier which will work, an AudioControl Architect 200 unit that is 2 ohm stable, (so stable bridged to 4 ohms) AND has a variable 18db high-pass for subsonic roll-off... that ends (starts?) at 20 Hz. So would be perfect for this subwoofer. If someone wants more low-end bandwidth (the subwoofer was originally rated for 15 - 17 Hz. and has a port tuning of 18 Hz.) then other amplifiers can be used. Asking $217 for the subwoofer, and $263 for the subwoofer with the AudioControl amplifier which is 420 Watts RMS @ 4 ohms bridged mono. Dimensions are 23.94" x 18.125" x 22.44" H x W x D.
The second are a pair of Meridian DSP6000 digital speakers: super top of the line, two piece, triamplified with linear phase DSP between the mid and the tweeter, 4 Vifa 8" woofers for the bass section, and a separate (and still quite heavy) midrange/tweeter unit that is a really attractive three dimensional trapezoid shape, and digital input only. Something is wrong with the electronics, so one can either figure out a passive crossover (factory is 6th order @ 200 Hz. and linear phase at 2.6 kHz), or one can use the nice Hypex Fusion Ncore amplifiers, which would be ideal as they have 3 amplifier modules and built-in crossovers - I would use the FusionAmp 123 for normal rooms or the FusionAmp 253 for larger rooms combined with high volumes. Looking for $637 for this pair, firm.
I'm also working on one other pair of Meridian DSP6000 speakers that completely work, amplifiers and everything. These only take a digital input, and so aren't easy to integrate into home theater, but are straightforward to use in 2 channel mode. And they sound spectacular (8 years as Stereophile Class A, for whatever that's worth when a magazine has advertisers). Looking for $1873 for that pair, firm. specifications: https://www.meridian-audio.info/public/6000[3355].pdf
I'm in 90042 in Los Angeles, California.
Cheers,

(Photos of subwoofer aren't mine (the sub is deep in the garage). I can take photos of it if someone wants, but it looks the same, and has a grille.
