Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?

HSU nor SVS beats a Velodyne. Do not allow the age of a product to cloud judgement. The DD15 is worth repairing.

Happy Listening!

Who has (no or in the past) tested (incl published tests) the DD15 against - old or new - subs in the (new or used) price range? 

What are strong pionts? What are weaknesses? 

Have you contacted Velodyne? They may send you a newer amp to swap out. Or purchase a rebuilt amp from them. I had a HGS 18 inch sub and i took it to the factory direct (about 2 hours from where i live) they fixed it and upgraded it very cheaply (cost wise). and i had it back with in 1hour.

No. I sent out the amp for repair to NJ. 

@m-db i’m a little late to the discussion.  Are you saying there is new firmware for the DDplus series?  Can you elaborate?

Early this year my pair of DD10plus subs weren’t responding to the remotes, so I sent them to the amp man.  I wish I had known about the guy in NJ since I probably could have driven the plates there.  Amp man seemed to struggle with various issues, but he did get them working perfectly.  

I’m glad Velodyne is back in business selling subs.  I really like my subs and run hem well below 40hz using the eq, since my TAD CR1’s go down to high 30’s.  

One of the things that drew me to The plus series is that they were designed to play really low bass.  I’m actually running mine in a huge room and I also keep them on sistrum stands 20” off the floor, which reduces output, but I feel makes them sound more articulate.  

Since I’m in a city condo loft, I didn’t want massive bass to avoid complaints.  
Suprising, but even a pair of 10” drivers gives me the kind of subtle, deep bass I’m looking for, and does double duty for 2 channel and Home Theater, even though I leave the servos at the highest setting, even for movies.  

I also like that I can change the slope on the fly, for bass shy recordings.
