| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @lono24 There are plenty of other great subs with great specs (especially for theater applications), if you are chasing lab measurements. FWIW, I used to be a Velodyne fanatic, but have changed to REL when I got intrigued by their approach. lo... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? @jim2 I can't imagine I would ever go back to non-servo tech for bass. Purchased my first servo sub from Jonas Miller and Ken Kreisel at their Wilshire Blvd. store 1978. In 1983 the Velodyne ULD-18 provided more control far less distortion and ... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! @mijostyn Are all your sources digitized? @phusis I had one of Tom's tinnitus inducing Tech 7 ServoDrive belt drive horns with the band for a few weeks. Brought it in the house and ran the source through the Velodyne's Rap EQ preset, OMG! I hat... | |
| Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!! "Subwoofer speed"? Can't wait to see the speed o meter measurements. Their design reminds me of a small version of the Danley Labs Matterhorn semi truck trailer subwoofer project they made some time ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o36Kp6ve... | |
| Worth repairing a Velodyne ULD-12 from the 90's? Your Father sounds like he had it going on, nice. Market value? Working, its still a potent little model. Without a need for it your on your own.

| Subwoofer Advice + big_greg, well said. mijostyn continues to take the time to share a great deal of his practical experience gained from his interesting system and room relationship. Also well done. I have great admiration when it comes to his immaculately dust ... | |
| My list of compact subs with room correction. @russ69 Sounds like you got rid of it so just an FYI. On page 38 of Velodyne’s SMS-1 manual the subject of room equalization is a bit confusing in its black hole description of standing waves. DSP, room optimization and a -3dB subwoofer itself ca... | |
| Subwoofers and Seating Position for Klipsch Forte iv's @deep_333 Do you have a measurement mic? REW? If not, you may crawling for a long while and still probably mess something up. I found the opposite far more practical. With the sub located at the listening position (as per Velodyne DD Optimizati... | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? With that budget and before you sell those difficult to outperform Studio's, I would insist on an in home comparative audition. As consumers we simply do not have the years of variety listening ability and experience that some audio professiona... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer highend64 'As far as the position of the Hsu sub, yes it is in a near null position by not quite. That is why it is off centered to compensate the difference. I have the tools to do measurements so finding the best place for the sub is not a pr... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer highend64 I apologize for not being more helpful. While you moved the HSU slightly and it measured differently is not how to position a subwoofer. The most effortless, quickest and practical way to find your rooms standing wave bass modes must b... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer highend64 The two Double Basses I own the open E string tunes to just over 41Hz. Regardless, its how the environment they're played in or how the producer wants it to sound that a -3dB subwoofer is able to convey the delicate sub sonics. Unlike t... | |
