    Velodyne servo F-1000
    I'm looking for a sub woofer and i called my local audio shops and I found one of these for $349. Anyone know anything about this sub?

    Yes, I just snagged one for the stereo. I like it a lot. Might be too small for surround sound at loud volumes, but it's perfect for audio. That price seems a little high.

    I ended up ordering the SVS SB-1000. It got great reviews and seems like it will fit well with my 2.1

    SVS has always been well regarded. I think you made a good choice. I read the reviews and it sounds perfect for the money.

    The Velodyne was good too, but it should have been priced at about $150 +/- $50, due to it's age.

    I used to sell Velodyne's back when I sold high end audio in the 90's and they are good subs and pretty clean seeing that they are servo controlled. I would add that they are very good for the money but you are right $349 is too much. I really think the SVS will serve you better if you are double duty with music and theater.

    I didn't realize how old it was. The gentleman on the phone mentioned it was $950 new but he didn't say how long ago haha. I'm pretty happy with my choice. The sub will be pairing up with my PSB B6's that I purchased a few months ago.
