It has been a while since I heard any Velodyne subs. Do they change models annually, like everyone else? Whatever; they have been around for a long time, and I have heard many of them over the years, including several of the Stereophile Recommended ones. I always hated them in the music range, over ~40 Hz, though I can't say I was ever able to get a handle on them below that, due to unfamiliarity with the rooms, etc. What I hated about them was, they lacked content, sounding musically vague and threadbare to me, and no one was ever able to integrate them with any speakers that I otherwise liked, so they always sounded "appended", to boot. Same with the Carver/Sunfire, for that matter.
On the other hand, REL used to offer some way-too-expensive consumer models that were actually decent, although I could not say from experience that they are anywhere near as powerful as the pro stuff.
Best regards,
