Yes, but assume you've installed the best driver available in the best enclosure available the only way to improve it is to servo control it. Right?

Bruce, Thanks for the reply! I actually placed my order for the DD-18 before they were available (February 2003). Order was placed through Soundtronics in Wilmington, NC, USA. I'm not sure who they work through (AVAD Southeast?) to get Velodyne. One final question. Will one be enough for my...

Where the heck are these? I'm STILL waiting! Anyone seen one? Even the website has no decent pics. Frustration...

Street price on HGS18 is more like $1,995.00

I was ready to write a check for the Mirage OM5's OMC3, etc. until my wife went with me for one last listen. She insisted on the Viennas after one listen. The mirages seem to come from all around but you cant really pinpoint where any one sound comes from (poor imaging?). They are also boomy...

I love the Vienna's. They are much warmer, laid-back and have a better/larger soundstage than the ML's. Both are excellent spkrs though. Listen to the Vienna's!

One more update: There will be digital input. I wish I could elaborate (not sure of the implementation.) Seems like computers are in everything. Who thought a subwoofer would ever have an on board computer? I bet the "good" subs could crash the hard drive:D . Actually the rattling can't...

Quote from avforums.com in UK from UncleEric: "A UK press release in the next week or two will highlight some interesting new products from Velodyne. VX-10 First off, Velodyne have now launched the VX-10 subwoofer. This is a small high performance budget model. The VX-10 will carry a 10"...

Just cancelled my HGS-18 order! Talked to Curt at Velo. He said the HGS line will be discontinued in 3-months. It will be replaced with a "Digital Drive" line which is: 1. improved 2. maintains THXUltra2 certification 3. is available in REAL piano black, maple and cherry 4. has...

Thanks, Actually a 7.1 setup but regardless why the limited range on crossovers? Is it prohibitively costly to implement a crossover with wider range? 40-80 has become the norm.

Is there any way to control the crossover to start real low like 22hz, instead of 40hz? For those that have truly fullrange mains? Thanks

Gustav? Who's that?:D Yes the new Michael Tillson Thomas' Mahler SACD is incredible on the Vienna's. Meanwhile, I am learning "sub speak". Apparently for $5k I should also check out the Aerial SW12, Revel or others. The SVS B4 is about as mysterious. I feel like I need to beg someone to...

Thanks guys and yes this is frustrating as hell trying to get a straight answer or one from someone who has experienced both....or I would have stopped posting long ago. The REL is not readily available. Tweeter has only 2 REL Stadium III's in their entire system (one step below the Stentor III...

I guess my hypothesis was correct: SVS for sheer muscle or output. REL for good music & blending with high-end speakers. Neither does both well?

Ron, Can you comment on how the B4 would compare to the REL Stentor III? or the Dual SS package. In regards to 3 things 1. musicality (if there is such a thing) 2. integration with main speakers, how well it blends with a main speaker that goes down to 22Hz (REL Neutrik high-level...

OK, after this post I will stop "beating a dead horse". Thanks AGAIN! IS the B4 superior to the Dual SS Package? Yes a box has better WAF. Finally sheetrock is finished & being painted & I only ran two RG6 cables w/RCA adapters and two 2-conductor, 12-guage speaker wires to the sub location...

Dustin, Where did "electrostatic" come from? Vienna's are anything but...very warm...not shrill & bright like electrostatics. Silkdome tweeters instead. Vienna Michael, What are REL's DISadvantages? & why an Internet company? There SHOULD be measurements to compare like...

Do you work for Adire or SVS, Dustin? This stuff is really frustrating. REL's website & some responses just seem like everyone is trying to talk over my head. I dont claim to know all this stuff. The sub is THE last piece of my puzzle....and Im anxious since the infocus 7200 & Firehawk...

OK, i give up. The room is actully even larger. The dimensions I gave were only the long part of an L-shaped room. I don't have an option of enclosing it since the house is on the National Register of Historic Places. So what do I need to get decent bass? The SVS Dual SS package? WAF will...

Huh? The REL connects to the same place your mains do on your amp simultaneously (not passing-thru). This has always been one of their main features.....& supposedly makes them blend better? Negligible draw from amp (i was worried that the additional current draw would hurt the amp, supposedly...

Dustin, You are wrong. They use 3-wires for high-level/speaker-level. The 2 positives from L&R plus one negative from either L OR R. Yes im calling high-level=speaker-level=amplified signal. They ALSO have low-level=LFE=line-level=the usual rca jack connection. Phil, Looks like REL is way...

Unfortunately my large basement room dictates the larger subs. 42' x 17'6 w/ an 8'6 ceiling. Thanks for the replies!

Sounds like the REL may be the best bet since music is my main concern. HT is less demanding and sounds good now. Why doesn't SVS include a similar high-level crossover? Is that REL's only advantage? And yes I did sink a wad in the VA's but I'm not one of those "eat up with it" audiophiles...

Then what specific impact would enabling the "THX Ultra 2 sub" on my Pioneer 49TXi have? The manual doesn't say. Are there certain performance parameters that you could check to determine if a sub meets the spec unofficially?

I have been advised that the REL Stentor sub is THE best match for my Vienna Acoustics speakers...it blends best musically. Which, if any, SVS should I consider as an equivalent. The REL can be connected high-level (Neutrik?) and low-level (LFE-rca jacks) simultaneously without me having...

Try REL or Velodyne. Good luck getting any advice here beyond DIY (adire), SVS or HSU.

An aside: Fremer is a liberal first and reviewer second. He can barely stop himself from going off on some liberal tirade while writing his reviews. His reviews may still be accurate, though (as long as Al Gore or President Bush don't make speakers that is.)

Easy question....SILK DOME...nuff said.

I agree Bose sux, BUT I need something in the $500 range for in-laws Christmas gift. What else is there similar that beats it for sound in the same price range and includes cd player & compact?
