Selling a couple things I'm no longer using.

1. Velodyne Chrysalis Photon-8 subwoofer - $310 + shipping.
This sub is identical to the Velodyne VMS-8 but has the Chrysalis badge. The Photon-8/VMS-8 are the same as the Velodyne Minivee in performance (this has been confirmed by a Velodyne rep at AVS forum), and differ only in aesthetics.

I'm the original owner. I bought it in Nov 2013. The sub is in excellent physical and working condition, and includes grill, power cord, and original packaging. The amplifier is essentially new. Velodyne replaced it in Sept since I was having issues with the auto-on function not engaging easily. With the new amp, I've had no problems with the sub coming on out of standby, but I do notice it goes back into standby more quickly than other subs I've owned when there isn't a bass/LFE signal present, but it does come out of standby quickly once the signal is there. This is not a malfunction, but the way the amp is designed. Velodyne confirmed this amp works exactly as it should.


2. Dana 630i monitor/bookshelf speakers - $310 + shipping.
Very nice monitors from Dana (formerly sold by Jon Lane of The Audio Insider/Chane Music & Cinema) that use highly regarded SB Acoustics SB15 woofer and SB25 tweeter, and are finished in real cherry wood veneer.

I'm the second owner of these speakers. They function perfectly, but have a few marks in the veneer thanks to some less than perfect handling during shipping. Also, one port was knocked loose in shipping, but I reattached it with epoxy. While fixing the port, I looked over the xover, and everything else inside the speaker is in good shape. Again, the speakers both function fine.

These are really nice speakers, and I'd probably keep them if I didn't already have the bigger brothers, the 640i, in my main room.

I have also bought/sold audio through Audioholics, AVS, Audio Circle, Parts Express, and Emotiva forums (although none have a clear feedback system in place).

Here's are a couple pics of the Dana 630i from the original owner's for sale ad, and a few pics of the small cosmetic dings that I took. I will try to get a few more pics of the speakers to add.
