Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
HSU was also mentioned. and maybe the sealed SVS SB-3000 is a better comparison to the DD15. If ported is tolerated, then the PB-3000 and HSU VTF-3 may fall into the ($1,000, used) category. HSU 15 looks seriously (way too) big, approaching the s...

Maybe someone has a side by side comparision of the modern SVS SB-2000 and the Velodyne DD15?

If nothing works: put 2 wood screws (in new holes, small pre drill but not all the way through) in.

I often half insert the screws back in, push/pull them to the side (to jam) and apply lifting force to seperate the seal tape from the wood.

Currently driving it with an external class H brute, 'no controlled'. Does the job. Surprised how much amps it sucks in. Switched the class D to mono bridge mode to stay out of the first red clipping light flickering at high volume. Amp is QSC 702... 
Infinity Quantum 2 - crossover - tri amp
Already getting helpful tips from one reader on DIYaudio.  I may just start with active bi amping, running the two Watkins coils in parellel and use DSP driven by big power amp (have class H and class D on hand), then the passive network for the ... 
Subwoofers: Ported or sealed?
Sealed with correction and plenty of power.   
Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation.
How much distortion is required for 'correct presentation'?

I need to read up on how Velodyne's software/hardware works. Does it have an equalizer? How does it measure the movement of the speaker cone or how does the feedback control work? Or what crossover frequency the Velodyne uses (fixed? or adjustable... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Goood to know. Looking forward (hopefully soon) to get plate amp back from EBC and do a comparison switch: Audessy with external class H amp vs built in Velodyne optimization and amp.  What settings on the receiver do I need to choose when runnin... 
Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel
I still buy phycial media (and very rarely a download), rip to my laptop. Real LISTENING (sit down and listen) always from CD/SACD, but use the laptop to 'stream' when just listening with one ear/background/casual. I have started to re buy vinyl f...

How good is my Audyssey built into my receiver setting up the sub in my room? When using the built in plate amp, should I set up with Velodyne hardware/software (and how to disable Audissey/Receiver for the sub only) or switch off Velodyne and ru...

  rwwear: what does it do? similar to what audyssey does (measure room sound, make correction in time and equalizing frequencies, automatically)?     
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Not as earth shaking as my Dayton UM18-22 in 4 cuft sealed (driven by external plate amp from Elemental Design A7-450). But that is an 18" and a larger cabinet. Very 'tight' bass. Still need to do more listening, exploring (and get cable situation...

4.0 ohm measured.  Running the Qsc in bridge now, works well.
