SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
SVS is primarily sold directly from the manufacturer. They can easily be adjusted and or positioned to sound less desirable than a REL. The REL is a -6dB sub-bass speaker equipped with only basic crossover, 2 position phase switch and volume. Bec... 
Distributed Bass Array Speaker Placement
Your speakers appear to be well engineered. Personally, I'd lose the CR-1 and run them full range and find a sub or DSP that can daisy chain and manage the crossover within the subs. I don't think there are any two DSP programs alike. You may be s... 
LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW!
@dorkwad  Your handle takes me back. Like minds? High School in the 60’s, instead of calling someone a dork my friends would say, ‘nah, you’re not a dork. Then there was the fictitious character, Wadslow Wadington which conveniently morfed into ... 
Low cost subwoofer upgrade
Had you used one of the Rythmik's to preform the subwoofer crawl to locate your rooms standing wave bass modes to properly position them in, you might of arrived. Your conclusion using the Rythmik's would suggest your front wall location is a room...

@keppertup2  Thanks for that contact information and your experience with them.  
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
@rwwear No the DD series has automatic room and main speaker EQ if you run the output into your preamp. But I never use the electronic xover in the sub for the main speakers. I want my mains to run full range without any other electronics to dist...

Since my two DD-12 Plus are working fine I haven't visited Velodyne Acoustics GmbH in a while. Early on they had links to internationally located service providers who seemed to have changed over time. It appears they're now using the RMA form me...

Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
I use two but I have used a distributed bass array of four placed asymmetrically within the room which eliminated all the rooms standing wave bass modes and provided immediate sense of timing or room loading. I've since manage a similar but not a...

CORRECTION: My Velodyne Plus subwoofers have been in my service for 12 years, not 22. Velodyne CA. Digital Drive Optimization technology may be over 20 years old beginning with the SMS-1. My apologies. ["On the other hand my current Plus 12’s an...

@gotolondon2 What did your dealer say about remedying this issue? I did resell all my Velodyne subwoofers with the introduction of each new model which would explain, as you say, ’just because.’ On the other hand my current Plus 12’s and the 10...

@oddiofyl   Every Velodyne sub of that Era will fail.   I sent my Dad's plate Amp on his HGS 10 to EBC in NJ about 5 years ago and it's been great since.    If this were the case I would expect far more original owner failure conformation. I re...

If you used your Velodyne DD Auto EQ or manually adjusted any of its parameters than no, I don't believe there's a modern equivalent of that level of processing except for the completely redesigned 2011 DD Plus now from Velodyne Acoustics GmbH (Au...
