Will Brink Audioholic Jul 4, 2020 135 0 16 44 Oct 23, 2023 #1 My Velodyne HGS 12 had died. It did it once a decade ago, I sent the plate amp off to be fixed, been good ever since. Seems to have died again. I love that sub. It was $ for the time, and is used for music only. I can send send off again ( I used ebcelectronics) or get a new sub. Fixing it is more cost effective, but I wanted to see what's out there in compact subs around 2k price range. Back in the day when I got the sub there was not than many brands, now it's endless. Maybe best to get two smaller subs? Medium sized room and music only using Anthem STR integrated amp and ATC SCM 19vs mains. Thanx

S shadyJ Speaker of the House Staff member Oct 16, 2006 12,053 0 113 Oct 23, 2023 #4 Definitely go for two subs. ARC room correction will do a lot better with two subs vs one. Dual Hsu ULS-15 mk2 is a great choice. Other good choices are a couple of SVS SB-2000 Pros or Arendal 1961 1S subs. Starke Sound SW15 is worth considering. If you aren't concerned about saving space, look at dual Hsu VTF-3 mk5s, dual Arendal 1961 1Vs, or dual Monoprice 12" THX Ultras. Reactions: lovinthehd and Will Brink
