RELL or Velodyne DD??

Velodyne DD series or Rell subwoofers?
Will the Velodyne DD stand up to the Rell stadium III.
With Velodyne's new Digital Drive room management technology are they going give Rell some competition in the high-end two-channel market?

I’m starting to check out subs. I have a pair of Wilson Benesch Arc’s and I think a sub would sound fine with this speaker.

I have never owned a subwoofer. Any input is welcome.

Don't be confused the DD series with the HGS series. I used to own the HGSII prior to switching over to the DD. The DD is
quite a bit better than the HGS.

I have heard the DD series I think it is a very good sub but, not as musical as the Rel Stadium III but, that is just my opinion. I am definitely not knocking the DD series at all just expressing my opion.

I bought a Stadium III precisly because of the advice that Rels are more musical. I cannot say that this is true. I am looking at one of the Velodyne's as a possible replacement.

Hstokar - can you give details? Do you find that the Rel Stadium is not suiting your needs?

I strongly considered the Stadium III (and one of Thiel's subs), but for my room (which is very cut up and has numerous issues requiring EQing), the DD series was the better way to go. I have been absolutely thrilled with the performance of my DD-12.
