"It delivered room-shaking bass and dramatically demonstrated the

effectiveness of a single subwoofer placed to one side of the room."

- Julian Hirsh

Stereo Review, January 1997

"In general, the Velodyne could play slightly louder, and often

cleaner, than the Sunfire."

-D.B. Keele, Jr.

Audio/June 1998

"How do they get this kind of bass out of such a tiny box? Deep, tight,

tuneful and loud enough to rattle pictures on the wall--this is serious

subwoofing."

-Robert Deutsch

By utilizing this method, you will have a bi-amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for your system.
