    Is Velodyne going out of business?

    Velodyne is back in business!!! Audio Reference of Germany purchased the subwoofer company lock, stock and barrel. They are in the transition process, but the new website is up. https://www.velodyneacoustics.com/

    Is Velodyne going out of business?

    6 of their 17 subs are listed as out of stock, some have been for a good while and one DD Plus is listed as one left. A few dealer sites note the Optimum series as discontinued. I still have not received a reply to my emails or phone calls.

    Is Velodyne going out of business?

    I'm not sure how you jumped to your conclusion since it appears you haven't heard the SVS yet. As the owner of two Velodyne subs and the SVS in question I can say the Velodyne subs sound better, have more connectivity options and more calibration/fine tuning options. The SVS isn't bad though.

    Thanks, I appreciate the confirmation. It is a shame though as they made fantastic subs.

    Is Velodyne going out of business?

    Hi Mark, Thanks for your thoughts in the matter. That's pretty much the impression one gets. Still, it would have been the right thing to return the three phone messages left and one email I sent in the last week. Jesse

    Is Velodyne going out of business?

    Looking at their site shows a lot of models out of stock with at least one in stock model stating it is the last one. Furthermore, I see from resellers that the Optimum models are discontinued. Are they going out of business?

    Age old sage advice. Airing one's dirty laundry in public is not the way to try and resolve any situation.

    New forum created for subjectivist members

    I do more reading here than posting, but those of you who know me from other sites know that I am a straight shooter. That said, I have to say it has been my observation of late that it's become obvious the "Site Founder And Administrator" doesn't know what's best, which is a real shame as this...

    Understanding Coupling/Decoupling - with particular reference to loudspeakers

    Hi Gary, Thank you for your response. As I noted above the extra weight in the stands resulted in greater clarity, which seemed to be a good thing at the lower volume levels I had been listening at. However, I discovered at higher levels the sound became a bit etched. Taking into account your...

    Understanding Coupling/Decoupling - with particular reference to loudspeakers

    Hi Gary, I'm Tom's friend, Jesse. I thought I'd provide a bit more information to you and see what you think. The monitors are sealed two ways, tweeter at the bottom with modified crossovers. They weigh 18 to 20 lbs. and came with 1/2" tall semi-hard rubber feet on the bottom. The stands are...
