Velodyne DD12 or DD15


hello there,

am thinking of getting a velodyne DD 12 or 15 series sub.

both have great reviews. hopefully you folks out there can shed some light or experience with them.
My room size is 22' length by 14' with 9' ceiling height.
I play both music and movies in my home theatre set up.

Compared with DD12 which actually looks neater as it is smaller also cheaper, i wonder if the DD15 actually plays tighter bass for music and yet can produce deep theatrical bass for movies. ( somehow i always thought smaller subs are more agile and faster)

Another question comes to mind, DD series had been around for quite some time now, wonder if the next generation new model would be coming out any time soon?

Cheers!

Go with DD-15 over DD-12, but have you considered a DD-18, instead of either one of those? I used to have subs that didn't go as low on low frequency (below 20 hz) in movies. I have a DD-18 now, and I have no regrets choosing it over a DD-15. My room is about the same size as yours. If cost for a DD-18 is not issue for you, I guarantee you will always enjoy a bigger sub for movies and come to understand what is meant by sub-sonic low frequency impact... :-)

I use an HGS-15 with a SMS-1 that I think was Velodyne's approach to room correction before the DD series. Believe me, the HGS-15/SMS-1 pair can deliver that more felt than heard experience when a low organ pedal note is invoked and pressurize your chest when an explosion occurs in a film. Our media room is 19 X 14 X 8. The sub integrates seamlessly, and you are only aware of its contribution when it does something you know the mains can't possibly be doing, like a subtle vibration or shaking the room. The introduction of the organ in a good recording of Saint Saen's 3rd symphony is a thrill. I use an 80 Hz crossover.
