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!

you told me "faster and tighter bass means less bass". that is not what i heard or described.......but you told me that's what it was/is (and i completely disagree).

maybe you left out an "imo" or "seems to me"?? if so......no problem... please do carry on. we're all entitled to our own thoughts/impressions and opinions. even if someone else thinks otherwise.

10ft kettle drum? can't say i've ever heard one??. you could very well be right but if it's used in music and i want musicality..... *i still think* the dd12 would sound better.

cheers

I don't want to put words in anyones mouth but I think the point I was trying to make is that the F112 has a more deatailed bass. When I say faster I am talking about taught clarity rather than a muddy sound.

It's difficult to compare subs unless they are set up in the exact same place as the one prior and the crossover and volume are set the same. By the time one is moved and the other is placed it's easy to forget what the other was like. There is also the possibility of hearing more detail the second time something is played. I'm not saying this is what happens all the time but some of the time.

Wow, great discussion. But Im quite a noob as far as subwoofer terminology and procedures. Its all Chinese to me, and I'm Chinese (ABC)! XD. Can anyone point me to some comprehensive publication or website on subs?
