In Reply to: New Subwoofer for my h/t: Velodyne vs Sunfire vs .. posted by TomP on February 01, 2001 at 20:25:58:
I use a Sunfire in a room 12x19x10 and it does a fantastic job with "booms" and "bangs"... Does real nice on music as well... especially if you have large main speakers, don't care for it's upper frequencies (70+). Has an extremely small footprint as well.See if you're dealer will allow you to take a demo unit home. That's the only way. If they won't, find one that will.

I have an HGS-18, and this sub really puts it out! The 15 is an amazing sub as well. I actually went with the Velodyne over the Sunfire because I felt the Velodyne had a cleaner sound, although the Sunfire is very good for movies, too.I'd say to demo both of them to see which one sounds better in your room. Also if there is a WAF involved, she may tend to lean towards the Sunfire. I got around the size issue with the Velodyne by having her listen to it, with her eyes shut so she made the decision based on sound only. Plus, she put a vase w/flowers on it, so it does look quite nice.
