Congrats, Mr TAD! As a fellow DD+ owner, I am with you and equally have enjoyed the way it integrates with the big Wilsons. I do wonder whether it is the servo...or the software controlling the crossover and output of the Velodyne that make it so good. Probably both...integration is key...but also in a 'relatively small' box the power of the sub and the bass it is trying to produce is probably greatly assisted in accuracy, lowered distortion, etc by the servo element.
Fantastic to hear that they even integrate well with big Wilson speakers.
As you say, integration is key. The filters inside the DD+ subwoofers sounds great. I measure the room response and set them manually, but I've heard that the automatic mode works well too.
The servo works really well to tighten up the low-end response.
Hi, Fred. I personally do not think it is the software technology that makes your V-DD10 stand out from the crowd. My experience tells me that it is the technology of the direct servo that makes a sub stand out from the crowd and so easy to blend into the mains.
I agree. The servo is one of the key components why the DD+ subwoofers perform so well.
I have two Rythmik F-25's in my rig and they were purchased unheard based upon my observations of two other direct servo subs that I personally dialed into two different rigs. I consider this one of the best decisions I have made for my system and these actually beat out the musicality and lower octave reproductive efforts from a VMPS Larger with upgrades.
Great to hear that the Rythmik Audio subs works out great for you. I've had my eyes on them and I've listen to a podcast where the designer talks about the analogue servo. I've never considered servos in speakers before listening to him.
Rythmik Audio subs were my first goal, but they are impossible to find here in Sweden.
The pricing seems rather good if you're in the US.
Then I got to listen to some Velodyne subs and when I heard the DD+ series, I was sold.
I didn't think that was even possible with the way I had it hooked up. If you want to up your game to the top of dierct servo, you might want to consider (Gary's) Genesis Direct Servo subs.
Perfect! Another digital servo sub. I'm mainly thinking of subs for clients of mine, if Velodyne is discontinued.
The Genesis subs look really interesting and the pricing seems okay too.
Are there any other servo subs available, digital or analogue?
Many thanks for the information
Fred
