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.

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.
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.
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.

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?
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...
Hi graystoke4,
Send an email to Joe Abrams at www.equusaudio.com. He's an extremely knowledgeable MIT dealer and would be able to help you choose the right cables for your kit.
Cheers,

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...
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...
Certainly.
Emotiva's target customer is the first time separates buyer looking for something cheap and usually for HT purposes. They are not interested in high end tube amps nor are they likely to have the resources to purchase one. The purchase of Carver doesn't fit Emotiva's customer base...
No, I have not because I'm a bit leery of using a Teflon based product, but thought it might be of interest to amirm with his sticky clam issues.
I only wax/polish once a year before the boat goes in for the season and with the 3M wax/polish it doesn't take long.
I've no experince with epoxy painted aluminum. That said, I use 3M polish/wax products on my fiberglass sailboat these days as I like their ease of use. I've used other waxes over the years and nothing, including 3M or even Collinite lasts the entire season. Be aware that all Meguiar's...
Good answer. A 20 ouncer solves a lot of problems.
Tom's all in one covers a lot. With the addition of a hammer and the No. 1 Odd Jobs you'd have a helluva tool kit.
Hi everyone.
Pledge, which contains silicone, will not harm or otherwise damage wood or clear coats. However, it does present real problems if you ever need to have touch up repairs or refinishing done to the item. Silicone creates a very slick surface tension, which repels any product...
