velodyne dd plus? still considered best of the best?


are these subs still comparable to the top subs today for music and sound quality?  I was thinking about getting a used one, the resale value puts them around the same price for me as a new svs sealed 3000 series, new ryhmik , new  rel t7i, or used jl audio e series

I posted in another thread that Velodyne has sold its sub line to another company, so hopefully we’ll see some service available soon. I love my pair of DD10 plus, though the remote sensor seems to be less responsive lately. The nice thing is not only does it have high level speaker inputs like the REL, but you can also hook up the xlr or rca. I use high level for stereo and xlr for Home theater system, so subs work for both my systems.

The ddplus was designed for low bass in 20’s and below, and I like having ability to change crossover slope via remote.

They keep up well with my TAD’s which have wonderful bass, but roll off in low 30’s.   I like very tight bass with no overshoot, but the servo can be lowered for looser bass.

I’m using them in a 12,000 cubic foot space, and though I don’t like a lot of bass, they do satisfy my needs.
