I recently added a Velodyne DD-15 to my Merlin VSM-MX 2-CH system. First I spoke with Kurt at Vel's Phoenix support, who is quite helpful. He said that the larger 15" & 18" models are faster and cleaner than the 10" & 12" models due to the fact that the amp has to work harder with the smaller drivers. I think the variable servo control is also important to getting tight bass for 2-CH applications. The lower the crossover frequency, the less obtrusive the crossover, and the more omnidirectional the bass. With a low crossover point it's less likely you'll need 2 subs (unless the room is very large.)
2-channel listening with a sub-woofer
Is anyone using a subwoofer for 2-channel listening? Have you ever heard a subwoofer for 2-channel listening?
If so, did the sub integrate seamlessly with the speakers? What sub was it?
When using a subwoofer, is it no longer important for the 2-channel amp to be able to drive the woofers?
For 2-channel, is a sub with a 15 inch driver faster than one with an 18 inch driver?
(say a 15 inch Velodyne DD vs an 18 inch Velodyne DD.
