Subwoofer
typical
Among the 24 subwoofers in the catalogue, this one is typical.
A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.
Slim form-factor variant — MJ engineered specifically for placement where conventional cube-shape Reference series cannot fit. Tall narrow cabinet (~800mm tall, 200mm deep) suits behind-furniture or narrow-alcove placement.
Amongst MJ range, this is the only model whose dimensions allow placement INSIDE the 305mm sealed cavity (200mm depth fits 285mm rule with 85mm rear clearance). All other MJ models exceed the cavity-placement depth envelope.
Assessed against 3 rivals across the sixty systems: it takes the slot in none of its 15 head-to-heads.
