I'd stick to box subs over cylinders if you can accommodate the box. Also keep in mind BIGGER isn't always better. It takes a lot of good engineering to make a high performance sub in a smaller enclosure. HSU does a great job of this and Velodyne perhaps best exemplifies this with their DD...

Its gonna be extremely tough to match the performance of the HSU sub you are looking at for this price class. I'd either wait for the sub, or expect to spend a little more coin for an alternative like the Axiom EP350 Note the EP350 has the same driver as the EP500 and EP600. It just...

Hey guys, here is my interview of Steve Hackett: http://www.audioholics.com/news/editorials/SteveHackettInterview.php Up next, Daryl...

It's always important to consider design goals of an engineered system before broad brushing a product. NEVER assume you or even the reviewer knows more about the design intent than the company that actually designed the product.

That is true. Some of their lower end products like their self terminating coax cables are quite good. If they didn't slap batteries on their high end stuff, boast a bunch of marketing technobabble nonsense, and charge more for their so called "high end" cables than a new car, they would be...

You gain SPL either way but depending on how the subs play into the room it can be anywhere from up to 6dB gain or loss if you have acoustical cancellations. Either way, if you want deeper extension in a large room, its best to go with multiple larger subs.

Try to tone down the ignorance for once please. There is more to subwoofer design than stuffing a bunch of unnecessary bracing or overstuffing into a box. I personally own 2 DD15s and although they don't sound as dead as other products I've compared them to when you knock on the side wall, the...

Right now we are concentrating our efforts on the new site design and launch. After it is up and running we will definately refresh and expand this section. Thanks for your interest.

Haha good one. Out of the several thousands of entries for a contest like this, perhaps 3-4 valid ones can actually find a good home for speakers of this magnitude. :D

Possibly, but the low end extension and overall output in such a large room would suffer. I wouldnt recommend anything smaller than DD15's in that room. The laws of phsyics come into play here, BIGGER enclosure and BIGGER driver equals more extension and output. Don't forget the DD15s and...

NO. You mean 4 DD12s I presume. Having first hand experience with the entire DD line, there is a big step up going from DD12s to DD15s. In a room his size, I'd go at least 2 DD15s or preferably 2 DD18s.

In a room that size you should definately have 2 subs. If the DD-18 price is too steep, I'd go with a pair of DD-15s. Thats a huge room!

please re-read the portion of the review you are referring to as I rewrote it a bit to clarify. As a fullrange tower, there would be no need to self limit them. I meant the limiter feature should they ever do a dedicated sub, kinda like what Velodyne and Axiom does with their products that way...

Why do you wish you had $30k? They cost $15k/pair. :rolleyes:

Likewise and I'd love to hear: Selling England by the Pound Trick of the Tail in 5.1 :D
