velodyne fsr 18


hi all, i have a chance to grab a velodyne fsr 18 for $1000 canadian dollars. is this over priced.

the same guy had a paradigm servo v2 that i was going to buy but he sold it for $1200.

can anyone tell me if the velodyne fsr 18 is as good as the paradigm servo v2? is it better or worse?

my room is only 14x11.5 feet with a, 8 foot ceiling.
is the velodyne gonna be overkill in there.
it is gonna be used for home theater only.

thanks

I agree with Bjpd57al, all you need is a 12" or 15" sub. My audio room is 14x15x8, and I'm using a Velo F1500R (15") and it's more than enough. You' knock your walls down with the 18" unit!
As an owner of this particular BEAST;

Let me be very clear, for music, or video, this

is a no B.S. 18" 1250watt. 3000 watt peak.

Flat at 11hz. True sub-woofer. Identical to the H.G.S. 18

When blended, completely disappears.

Check out the heavy surround on the Velodyne.

You say video only, I also have a CHT-15,

that was reviewed and rated above All others.

IMHO, given your room size, you would be better

served with the likes of a CHT-15 instead of

a FSR-18. It WILL be overkill.

You will NEVER be able to realize the FSR's full

ability, with such a small room.

Listen to the subs. at home if possible, that is

the only sure way to get the right one.

A good 12" or 15" will be plenty of solid foundation,

given your room size. Especially if it is a Velodyne.

Look at the new Velodyne Optimum series. They have lots of the features of the DD series at lower costs but would be nearly perfect for a small room such as yours. You could purchase a new model for around the same price as the FSR 18 and get a better sub.
