How do the HGS series and Paradigm Servo 15a servo circuits compare?

from what i read, the servo controlled velodynes have lower distortion limit (limiter will-kick in earlier to minimize distortion) compared to paradigm. other than that, i have no idea of how the electronic circuits compare.

Velodyne uses a chip on the woofer that compares the input signal to the movement of the cone. Any difference in the two is corrected by the servo/amp.

Paradigm uses feedback from the woofers electrical changes to the amp to compare input and movement.

For a great example of the Velodyne working, start tapping the woofer with your figertip with it turned off. Continue

tapping and switch it on.

Paradigm uses feedback from the woofers electrical changes to the amp to compare input and movement.

How could Paradigm call that servo? Then my Yamaha mini system with its bass feedback contraption is also a servo.
