Absolutely TERRIFIC point, Jay.

I have never directly compared an MFW-15 to an EP500. However, I have heard both. I heard a pair of MFWs at an AV123 GTG (GetToGether)and thought them very impressive. But, I often find my EP500 to be very impressive as well. Craig rates the MFW higher than the EP500 but praises the EPs linearity (smooth frequency response).

The EP has one advantage over the MFW, and that is its DSP technology which virtually renders it bulletproof. It is possible, if you don't know what you're doing, to overdrive the MFW. However, if you overdrive a subwoofer, it is readily apparent and easily correctable.

The MFW is a terrific bang for the buck, but I have never felt deprived with my EP500.
