Thanks for the comments. The title is a play on "value".
500k for a 1BR condo? LOL! Good thing I rent.
I like the ML sub. It was between that and a REL for about the same $800 or so. The REL was said to be more seamless but the ML is more musical. The ML may not blend as well...if you're a super persnikety audiophile...but it's the most tuneful one I've tried yet. If you turn it up too loud...then it's too "obvious" and....wait...I guess that's what they mean by not as seamless as the REL...but...not a problem...there are a couple of nifty (and surprisingly well crafted) knobs that let you tweak away.
I like it.
