   …for this price range.

   I have never had a high opinion of Velodyne subs, but recently got to play with this one at a local Tweeter and came away pleasantly surprised. The bass was very tight, quick and accurate — I should note that it was positioned in a corner (optimal for maximum output) and the listening room was only about 10×12, so don’t know how it would sound in a bigger room.

   For its price of half a grand you could get the Internet-direct Hsu VTF-2 or SVS PB10 shipped which would probably outpower and outclass it, but if you are unreasonably leery of buying online sight unseen despite the reams of glowing professional and consumer reviews out there on those 2 makes, you could do far far worse than this Velodyne.

   It does have a remote which I must admit is a very attractive feature that the two Internet-direct models I mentioned above do not have, plus is more compact and attractive in appearance, and has a remote control that the others don’t. However I would be very surprised if it could go as low or as loud, so if you are looking for powerful kick-in-the-chest deep bass during your movies, those other 2 would be a better deal. For music listening the Velodyne would probably have an edge though, it’s very tight and quick.

   I have had this for about 4 years now and have never turned it up past about 30% of it capabilities and it really delivers a very tight and strong bass. I have it in the corner of a 12 x 20 room and it is more than enough. I am also in a townhouse and have had several complaints from both the neigbhors and my wife upstairts. It looks very classy with the gloss finish too. Buy it.
