Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub....

I have a ULD Series II 18, which crosses over to my Budge
Khorus speakers at 60 hz. It does not sound slow or on-musical.

The standard crossover point of 100 hz is too high for hiend
speakers, and may account for Uncle Mike's poor impression.

A variable crossover is essential when working with hiend speakers.

And, yes I'd love have the new Talon Roc, but I'll have to
live with my old ULD 18 SII until the dock strike is over.

Aloha.

Just Mike- "Uncle" is a term used here in Hawaii for those who share their mana'o(knowledge or stories) with others.

Ezmeralda11- "slow and non-musical were Just Mike's terms notmine. At a 60 hz crossover point and levels correctly set, the Velodyne does not call attention to itself and fills in the bottom octave nicely in my current listening room.

I'm sure there are better subs. The best I ever owned were a pair of six foot tall custom built transmission line Epiks which tipped the scales at 400 lbs each. They produced a wonderful sense of space and air.

Aloha.

Mike- The Epiks were circa 1984, before I moved to Maui.

Aloha.
