M&K subwoofer blew it's 125W amplifier, found replacement but...

Techlord

Hello everyone,

I have an M&K LCR 750-THX 5.1 speaker system and my M&K V-1250THX subwoofer blew it's 125W amplifier, being an older model I wasn't able to get a direct replacement as they are no longer available! I have never cared for any THX modes for my subwoofer as I have kept it set to Variable for Bass Level and the Low Pass Filter at 80Hz 24db/OCTAVE.

I have however found a replacement M&K VX-1250 250W amp (newer model) except it's the non-THX version. Now for my question, how well will the integration of this new non-THX version subwoofer change how it blends in with the rest of my speaker system? Here is a picture of my older dead amp and the second the new amp. The newer M&K amp is only $139.95, better than spending $1200 for a new SB-1250!




I would appreciate any insight and thank you,
Techlord.

I would contact Miller & Kreisel about that. Hopefully they would give you the correct answer being as they are the experts on their own equipment.

Is it too much amp for the woofer? Does the driver itself (woofer) need to be replaced as well?

Those are some of the pther questions I would be asking as well.


Hope this helps...
