What's wrong with Velodyne?


I have two Velodyne subs. (HGS-12 and older one) and both have worked great, sound great, etc.

However, my experience with dealers is that they think very lowly of Velodyne and politely recommend staying away from them. One dealer used to carry them and dropped them, another well-established dealer said he though many other brands (some he didn't carry) would be better.

Is something going on here that I am missing? I don't think it's just dealers trying to sell products they carry.

Bundy, never forget that everyone you talk to has both an opinion and an agenda. This is doubly true of everyone in the CE industry, whether they're a vendor or a dealer.

Itball's point is right on, Velodyne has really branched out their sales channels. To be fair, Velodyne is selective of which outlets sell or have access to which lines, but some boutique dealers don't want to carry the premiere upscale line of a brand that has entry level dreck in mass market stores also.
