Velodyne DD's flying out of owners' houses


I've been watching the subwoofer listings for a couple months now, and notice alot of Velodyne DD-series units being listed. Normally when I see that I think poor price-performance ratio, but I've not seen anything critical of the DD series in print.

Sure, each seller typically lists a reason for selling that seems to indicate an issue other than unit performance, but the sheer number of units being listed makes me wonder about the price-performance characteristic. Anyone have thoughts to share on this?

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. No troll intended at all. I've done over 100 hours of research in the last couple months trying to find the "best" sub for my needs. I currently own a bottom-of-the-line Velodyne CT-120 (purchased originally for HT) and want to upgrade to something commensurate with my two-channel system (http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs_user.pl?vdone&1107477492&viewmine&publ).

The DD-10 or DD-12 looks like a solid contender based on the reviews, but as I mentioned, I get concerned when I see alot of a product on the market.

Gunbei, great perspective as usual. I love McCormack's modified stuff and believe it to be great bang for the buck, but there's always alot of the stock gear for sale here. I had not thought of that.

I do have a positive story with Velodyne service. Several years ago an RCA pin broke off and was stuck in one of the RCA input jacks. I took the sub back to circus city where I bought it. They shipped it to Velodyne and I had the unit back in a couple weeks.

Thanks for the thoughts on this, guys.
