For under $800 for the 10" version and $900 for the 12" version, you get a full suite of physical connections, a 2.5GHz wireless connection rated up to 50 feet, and performance down to the mid 20Hz at -3dB. Add on the one-touch EQ with an included mic, a remote, four-position phase control, digital distortion limiting circuits, and a downfiring port for easy placement, and you'll wonder how they can charge such reasonable prices. We're very curious to see how these subs perform when we get one on our test bench. Discuss "Velodyne Wi-Q 10" and 12" Subwoofer Preview" here. Read the article.

My cordless phone works 100+ feet away from the base outside the house, so is audio significantly different or "complex" that 30-50ft is an issue? I'm curious to see how this performs as well.
