I have had velodyne and REL subs. They both sound great. However, I found the signal coming from the pwer amp w/the REL compared to the signal from pre to the velodyne, and the controls on the REL allowed for much better blending w/the stereo speakers. REL sounded great, very functional, and price in line w/the other big names.
My REL sub is now in my friend's living room, paired up w/B&W Nautilus book shelf speaks (can't remember the 80? model number.) powered by Krell integrated 150 w/ch...great sounding little system!
