I used to own the DLS-3750R and I got it for $250 shipped brand new, and at that price point it was very good, I wouldn't however pay $500 for it. I would save up and get an SVS or HSU, which would blow the Velodyne out of the water. The remove is a very nice feature, but I found that once my levels were set, I rarely used the remote, but the classic/jazz setting gave the flattest response.
