I think £3200 is a lot of money in anyones book, but its comparably priced when you look at other similarly placed products in the market. The Velodyne DD15 and 12 plus models are both more expensive, and the X12 will at least hold its own against the DD15, and Velodyne havent had to factor in the cost of THX testing and dont offer a 10 year warranty. JLA F113 V2 again is more expensive but hasnt had THX testing and doesnt match the MK warranty. Of course, both those products include arbitrary eq on board while the MK does not, but MK, as KK, prefer to simplify the design and make it right from the ground up rather than adding elements that could potential detract from what theyre trying to achieve.No offense, I'm not attacking the brand.
Its just that, to me £3200 is a lot of money. I appreciate that isn't the same for everyone.
The X12 as reviewed here comes out very well, but I happen to agree with the reviewer that its very, very expensive. Value for money is somewhat subjective, but, for me, I would look for it elsewhere.
There are plenty of comparable products on the market that are roughly priced the same or more. Different people have different ideas of what is and isnt expensive or overpriced, but if you compare the products your looking at to the rest of market place, the MK subwoofers are placed well in the market and in many cases are less expensive than a lot of the counter parts on offer. All the products have their own unique design elements and selling points. Product end performance is also directly comparable by the end user, assuming you can get a demonstration of course, and the individual can decide from there which products are right for them.
