Looks like there are some typo's in the review... with the Minivee being referred to as the Microvee on a few occasions...

Based on my time with the MiniVee, I declare Velodyne the king of bass per square inch. Not only did the MiniVee simply deliver more output and extension than I could have hoped for from such a small box, but it delivered rich quality bass that never sounded muddy. Although the MiniVee doesn't come cheap, one must realize it's quite costly to engineer a small potent sub over a much larger alternative. I can't think of a single product in its size class that can compete, regardless of price. With the Velodyne MiniVee on bass, mated with a potent pair of bookshelf speakers, you could very easily be enjoying full-range sound from a compact PC system that rivals most (if not all) of your friends dedicated home theater systems. Highly Recommended!

I'd be curious to see how this measures up to an Emotiva Ultra 10 sub... a bit bigger than the MiniVee and about 1/2 the price.

Gene,
Since Audioholics reviewed both the Chrysalis Photon and Velodyne Minivee...
I was wondering if you noticed any difference in the two subs...
From what I can tell... they're the same thing... just different look and name...
Additionally, a Velodyne rep at AVS stated the Velodyne VMS-8 and Minivee are essentially the same, just different aesthetics... and the VMS-8 looks almost identical to the Photon-8, differing only in the sticker on the amp and badge on the grill.
The measurements look different... but is that just due to differences in how the measurements were done?

The Photon 8 and MiniVee are identical in performance and parts like I stated in my review. This is directly from Velodyne Engineering. Only cosmetic differences exist.Since Audioholics reviewed both the Chrysalis Photon and Velodyne Minivee...

Yes I checked my measurements 3 times b/c they are slightly different than David's PHoton 8 measurements, but his scale is also not as fine as what I used and his measurement method was a bit difference. Still we are within 1-2dB of each other.
Don't you mean "heard and not seen" for a small sub?...but given its small footprint and ease to blend into any nook or cranny of a room, it can easily be tucked away to be "seen and not heard" as my late uncle used to say about children.
What's far more important is thanks for review of a quality micro sub. I wondered about the viability of those things, so it's good see this one stands.
