    Why not ask on the Velodyne forum?

    The best thing to do is find a shop that has both speakers & demo both & decide which you like the best.
    Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2

    in my opinion, Velodyne hands done makes the best
    high end subwoofers. If you are looking to spend under
    $1200 for a subwoofer then SVS or HSU will give you great
    bang for the buck.

    I haven't head the polk or velodyne satellite speakers - I
    would listen to both and then make a decision.
    Pio Elite 60 in 1080p PRO-150FD KURO
    Integra DTC-9.8 - Pio Elite BDP-95FD
    Cinenova Grande 3 ( 600W x 3 ) - Polk LSi15s, LSiC
    Outlaw M2200s x 2 ( 300W x 2 ) - Polk LC265i x 2
    Velodyne HGS-15X

    agreed. I haven't heard anything that comes close to the 1812.
    And i'm not just talking about 13hz and a certain SPL- but the way the bass is delivered. Cerwin Vega 15" subs can play loud and low- that doesn't mean they sound good.
