Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  mijostyn Yes, the single mass accel/decel of the driver's mass 'moves' the sub. But the push/push also causes movement (flexing the outside walls of the enclosure) in the same way. So also imperfect. Not relevant, because this post is not abou... 
The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore
Sooooo, we need get our 'impairement curve' from the audiologist.  Then we can tell Audacity (or other equalizer) to compensate what the in-hearing-location microphone measurement found and then we have perfect audio. Its time that somone develo...

whart Those Class D plate amps with 'electronic' (can't think of the term) power supplies (without the huge/heavy transformers and coolers) are very light and cheap to ship. My LT1300 plate amp is 40 lbs, this one is maybe 5 lbs.   
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  motown-l there is only one decent sub pate amp out there that is suitable to drive a large sub: Dayton Audio SPA1000 (1000W with DSP?. This is $600 (shipped/tax). I am not sure how much the ’smart’ electronics of the DD-15 amp contribute (and t...

mijostyn interesting but irrelevant in this context. Push pull has been around long before the term balanced force has been coined.

How does used SVS SB-2000 compare to (repaired) Velodyne DD-15?  
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  fpomposo I have a hard time envisioning a competitive sub for say the budget to repair/retain the DD-15 ($800). I don't like the complexity (no adj crossover frequency aside from what receiver offers (often only 50Hz; I run B&W Nautilus 804... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  jafant If a "REL" is another sub, what REL can I get for $800 that competes well with the DD-15 (in big room setup and/or normal room setup)?    
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
dweller I have the plate amp out. Fuses good. Power on other side. Some discoloration on input power module (assumed culprit). No loose wires, speaker connected and works. Since fuses are good and no pop or any other noise when turning on, assume ... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  jafant "If you are using this Sub(DD 15)  in a H/T set-up, yes repair it. Otherwise move on to a REL for a Stereo system set-up." What is a REL?  I am currently using my 18" DAyton UM18-22 in sealed box with Lt1300 external plate amp in super ...

  asvjerry repair of original is probably cheaper than replacement plate amp of similar power. Running as passive is super easy. I have plate amp out and found discolored area on incoming power board, likely culprit.  I am running my Dayton UM1... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  asvjerry see 2nd option above, but no feedback control (and no auto on/off, and no crossover control beyond what receiver allows).  Another plate with sufficient power: probably better to repair the existing for about $400 (shipping, taxes inc... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
oddiofyl I have quote from EBC; they would be the one I sent the amp to for repair if going that route. Just not sure how good the DD-15 compared to others/modern in used condition and value range.     
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  mofojo Yup: Option 1: Repair (invest $500), total value $800-$900 Option 2: that is my 2nd option. Actually have two Class D on hand. Connect directly to sub out of receiver. But then do NOT have the Velodyne 'feedback control', and not sure ... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
  jasonbourne71 what to get 'more recent' that is better for under $800 (repaired value of DD-15)?
