Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $1300.00 from Tweeter

Summary:
I bought this subwoofer in late 2004. I have used it primarily for movies and SACD/DVD Audio music. I have never turned it up very loud, I live in a townhouse with neighbors on both sides. The subwoofer just started to make strange noises, like a farting noise. I called Velodyne, I have to remove the applifier, send it in(my expense). Then the cost to repair will be about $235.00. This product is a little over 3 years old, with very lite use. I will never buy another product of Velodyne's. I have never had a speaker go bad from any high end company(thats the only ones I buy from). I think this product is a piece of crap, and I have no intension of spending anymore money on it. I would think twice about buying it, there are a lot of other subwoofers with simular abilities, built much better.

Strengths:
None

Weaknesses:
Poor durability/quality.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $698.00 from 6th Ave Electronics

Summary:
This Velodyne SPL-1000II 10" sealed woofer simply delivers the best all around bass for: music/movies. I've tried Polk, Sony,and others. Velodyne is simply synonymous with rich deep precision bass. Superior in all price ranges.

Strengths:
Be it watching movies like Ladder 49 or listening to the Montreux Jazz Festival, Velodyne let's you know that it's in the game to deliver from 22 two 170 hertz of realistic hard driving bass!

Weaknesses:
Don't be absured. Remove this box from the web page.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
