Paradigm vs. Velodyne

For all round (music and home theater) applications, would you choose the Paradigm Refrence Servo Sub or the Velodyne HGS-18?

It costs more than twice as much. The velodyne is more accurate, and goes deeper with a higher SPL, especially good for home theatre. Two HGS 15 is overkill in all but the largest rooms and would cost more still, if that matters to you. Good luck. They're not too easy to find used either. (I've been looking) Happy listening!

That's never been a problem for me since discovering the high end. With two, in room bass response can be smoothed infinitely. Also, two would cost less if they were USED, and by the time I can afford them there should be several on the used market, so I'm good to go, and will enjoy my Sunfire until then.
