Another one of my polls

[mike c]

say you found 3k just lying around ... and you have an urge to buy something.
(and you had the setup in my sig)

would you buy:
1) a Velodyne DD-15 or 18
or
2) a bookshelf speaker, a pre-amp, amp and tuner (Rotel electronics, Paradigm or B&W speaker)

I like HT but I don't really need a sub
but I also don't listen to 2 channel music
... so in short, I don't REALLY need both.

and please, no acoustic suggestions ... that is a battle for another day with the wife.

Hey look this is the only time my vote has counted 100% since Ive been married.

If I were you...Already have a two channel system built into the HT set up...Like HT very much and don't listen to only two channels that often...

Upgrade to the sub you have wanted for as long as I can remember.

After the arguement with the better half about how nice some GIK pannels could look in your room. Sorry had to because your room is one of the few that white cloth covered pannels could look pretty nice if not over done. I did this real small and light nobody will see it!

Hey Mike, are you the one that robbed the bank Come on, this is a no-brainier. Sell both of the other subs, because now you won't need more bass then one of these, DD here we come(unless you're trying' to fill the Grand Canyon, then get 2)

cheers
What else do you expect me to say

 

[mike c]

I honestly don't have anyone to sell to ... and I don't like losing money (which is inevitable selling used stuff) when I look at stuff, I see how much money I bought it with ... not how much the unit is now.

I can move the 15R to my PC and Axiom as secondary sub or to the bedroom

strongbad, don't worry ... i'll fight the good fight on that one.

 

[mike c]

exercise your right to vote

Mike,

You can always add on to the house. Most of us REALLY need an HT room AND a TV room. Dump those subs you've been toying with and get what you really, really want...the DD18. You know it's the right thing to do. hehheh

 

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

Wow, I don't like eithe rof those choices. How about a 12lb lobster and $2900 going towards the ol' credit card debt.

 

[3x10^8]

i agree, sell both those subs and get the velodyne.

 

[billy p]

I guess 3 G's won't get you much on that wish list?

 

[Buckeye_Nut]

If I had the sudden urge to buy something for my HT, I would buy neither of the above. I'd get a PJ and an 8' screen.

 

[mike c]

I notice that the Digital Drive has been around as early as may 2003 ...
I emailed Velodyne asking if there was gonna be a replacement model: of course the answer is in the negative because that would affect sales NOW.

but I'm wondering when they're gonna be replacing the DD ... either in cone material (hint: rohacell) or at least a facelift.

Mike,

You devil. Congratulations....I think. Now you too get to experience the wonderful world of WAF. (There goes the third sub! )

 

[mike c]

actually I have a secret weapon against WAF.

I hound her everyday, all the time, all that comes out of my mouth is DD. she just gives up and says that I do whatever I want.

 

[majorloser]

I'd buy either one SVS PB12-Ultra2 or two HSU VTF-3HO's. I'd still have a grand to invest in the B&W bookshelves on your wish list.

I think hes going for Velodyne because it would cost the same to ship those as a DD-15, but the it has an EQ.

[mike c]

majorloser, sheep's right ... with maybe the exception of HSU (which is canadian) the cost of SVS is prohibitive for me, otherwise I'd have a cylinder already.

rjbudz, will update you with a pic. either a pic of a DD or of me tied to a chair and with mouth gagged.
