Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub....

Just Mike- "Uncle" is a term used here in Hawaii for those who share their mana'o(knowledge or stories) with others.

Ezmeralda11- "slow and non-musical were Just Mike's terms notmine. At a 60 hz crossover point and levels correctly set, the Velodyne does not call attention to itself and fills in the bottom octave nicely in my current listening room.

I'm sure there are better subs. The best I ever owned were a pair of six foot tall custom built transmission line Epiks which tipped the scales at 400 lbs each. They produced a wonderful sense of space and air.

Aloha.

Dan...Gotcha, thanks for the clarification on "Uncle" ;-)

I bet those Epiks were amazing, in what timeframe were they made?

Mike- The Epiks were circa 1984, before I moved to Maui.

Aloha.

I love the ULD subs. I think they are the best sub for music.

No-one having mentioned the Rhea yet, I thoght I'd chip in. The Rhea sounded excellent & seamless with Virgo's. There was no perceptible muddiness and on reasonable recordings the sound of the strings was very clear (i.e. many cellos).
With the Rhea, the Virgo sounded like a much larger & superior speaker with better micro-dynamics and good "volume" on voclas & strings alike.

The usual caveats: I listen & judge by classical; the electronics used in this combo were Symphonic LIne & CAT; the cables were bearlabs IC & valhalla. Cheers!
