theoretical question

[mike c]

Say, you guys have 7 new speakers, a new yammy rxv2600, a new tv and a 1200USD sub (SVS, Axiom, whatever) … then suddenly you win a gift check worth 3000USD at your local audio store which has the following packages worth exactly 3000USD each.

Option 1
Velodyne DD-15

Option 2
Rotel 200w x 2
Rotel 120w x 5
another 1200USD axiom or svs sub

Which would you choose?

Option 2
Rotel 200w x 2
Rotel 120w x 5

Nice start to room #2!

[mike c]

no room #2 ... you have this ONE room

 

[STRONGBADF1]

no room #2 ... you have this ONE room

I only have one room? Sounds like a true bachelor pad! I think the neigbors are going to be very upset!!!

 

[Matt34]

Option #2 for sure!

 

[gellor]

hm...i voted on the poll before even reading the question. I just thought..."theoretical question, option 1 or option 2?" sorta like "Would you like what's behind door number 1 or door number 2?"

Still...I stand by my answer.

I would go with option 2 because that's just to much to spend on a sub. I swear by the HGS/DD Velo subs, - have a HGS-18. But, I am not willing to pay that amount of money for it and the amplification and sub upgrade you are looking at gives you a huge overall upgrade.

Heck, then I would take both subs, sell them online, and buy a DD-18 for the money I made off that.

I'm cheap, but my tastes aren't. So, I have to work around both.

so you dont want to spend that amount of money on the dd-15, but you're gonna buy a dd-18?

or you mean, you want the amps AND the DD?

 

[mike c]

the rotel digital amps are about to come out ...

aside from space and weight savings, what does digital do better than our standard amps?

 

[rollinrocker]

option 2. You'll be very happy with option 2. I'm also thinking of a two option upgrade. I should probably take my own advise, leave the monster sub and get the other components.

Go with option 1, the velodyne DD-15 sub, it's one of the best subs out there, bar none.

I owned a Rotel stereo amp, 200watts x2, I promptly returned it after a week. Rotel over-emphasizes the lower frequencies, everything was boomy.
