Considering a Second Subwoofer for the Front
Hasn't Salk closed? With a four sub array I can't imagine your shooting for stereo. The mono room lock should be amazing. I did it using three different asymmetrically positioned subs and it worked just fine. If the master sub has remote control... 
Towers with built in subs vs separate subs
fuzztone is exactly right.  Ported or sealed no amount of room optimization, correction or equalization will ameliorate the sound stage optimized null location of your speakers and allow the ability of -3dB subwoofers their full potential for roo... 
Subwoofer Basics Help
Your situation is why there’s a variety of -3dB subwoofers that offer High / Speaker level inputs with varying levels of EQ adjustments which aid in a variety of speaker and room pairings. With proper positioning they can offer more detailed integ... 
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
drlou77 I don’t’ doubt your description of that comparison. Sadly, it’s now quite obvious how it came to be. Please read REL’s actual free trial policy from the link below. @drlou77 If I don’t like it he will give me a credit towards another mo... 
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
@drlou77  Bought the REL S/510 today.  Thanks for all your help! You helped yourself. After which ever Velodyne you were using you"ll see soon enough. Is there a REL free trial period? All the best.   
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... 
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
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...
