Anyone know of the MDS Ambria sub-woofer?

me283 · 18-04-2005, 14:33

Help! I don't even know if this is the right forum, but it's a last resort so here goes:

I have a sub-woofer unit. It is a tall, black pyramid thing, and has the name "MDS" on it. On the base it says "Ambris S-2000 sub-woofer unit"; apart from finding a mention on an obscure website I can find out nothing about it.

Can anyone here enlighten me? Any info on spec, quality, performance, and price would be gratefully received. And does anyone know if the thing is any good?

Thanks in advance!

Actually I got it wrong, it says "Ambria"... but due to absolutely no replies I guess nobody out there knows about it! Never mind!

Where did you get it from. Maybe one can track down some info that way.

Sadly not, I picked it up from someone who had no info on it either. It looks fantastic though!

Just MDS, which I think is to do with Momentum Data Systems, although I could be wrong. I also think I have found my unit here:

http://www.audiocircuit.com/index.php?transfer=906

But it tells me absolutely nothing!

The easiest way is to attach the image to a post (go to thread page, click "Go Advanced", then right down at the bottom (below "Post Icons" and "Miscellaneous Option" is the "Manage Attachments" button. You can use the to upload up to three attachments each time, or five for each post (just go to the upload page twice).

The way to embed images into the post is (on the advanced screen) click the yellow button that looks a little like a mountain with a sun above it. You will need to type the URL for the image into the dialog that comes up.

The other (quicker) way is to type the full address of the image between and "[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]" tags.

eg [IMG ]http://my.server.com/me/myimage.jpg[/IMG ]. I inserted the space after the letters IMG in each case to prevent the forum software interpreting that as an image, but you don't need to enter the spaces.

BTW, the IMG tags (and yellow button) only work if the picture is stored on a web server somewhere, so you would need to upload images to a web site.

Thanks for that. I have tried to find the model I've got but to no avail. Also there seems to be Mordant Short and Mordaunt-Short. Shows I know absolutely nothing about hi-fi!

The AudioCircuit site is quite hard to work but there is some info there (pick MDS from the list of brands):

"The product was manufactured from 1991 to unknown.

S-2000 subwoofer, satellite, (4) 2-way sat, subwoofer with 6 drivers and croSS-over"

And it also suggests that MDS isn't short for Mordaunt Short.
