Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15?

Magnepan 1.6/QR.

. Electrostatic : Quad, Martin Logan or Magnepan
. Tannoy monitors : DMT or System range

There is no problem with any reasonable woofer diameter at the frequency range involved here. This is a variation on the myth of "smaller woofers are fast, larger woofers are slow." Any well designed woofer (which in this case basically means its magnet assembly is powerful enough for the driver) is appropriate to this job and the DD series certainly is a good design.

Vladimir - That's my expectation too, especially since the DD-15 used the same magnet as the larger DD-18. Do you have any thoughts about getting fronts and whether it's wise to get something that's lighter in the base and use the Velodyne in 2-channel?

Aroc/Emile - Thanks for the suggestions. There's a dealer a couple hours away who has Maggies, Velodynes and even the Anthem elctronics I'm interested in and I hope I can listen to them together.

Vladimir. Jonsher. This is an interesting theory, something I was not aware of. Thanks for pointing this out.

Many people seem to feel the Velodyne Digital Drive subs are top notch. All 4 models seem to use the same amp. The 10" and 12" models seemingly the same magnet while the 15" and 18" commonly use a bigger one.

So I am wondering is the only reason to have these different size units because of the way they each react with different room sizes based on their driver sizes and not for matching with main speakers? Also, since a larger driver will push more air volume wouldn't this also have the effect of possibly slowing it? Or is it because of the DD design, ie damping factor, etc. that this volume difference becomes negligible and therefore irrelevant?

Thanks for your input.
