"If you know subwoofers, you know about Velodyne."

Home Theater Technology/February 1995
Face Off: Comparison of five subwoofers
"... the clean, full, and extended quality of the F-1800R's bass caused me
to gasp with the recognition that I was finally listening to a real subwoofer."
"... our entire listening room swelled with solid, satisfying bass, as if both
musician and instrument were in the room."
"...scenes such as the pre-battle sequence in Braveheart ... may very well
have threatened the room's structural integrity had we not backed off the
volume a bit..."
