Velodyne HGS Series 1 vs Series 2

Not enough to warrant the price! I checked these out very carefully, and ended up being VERY happy with a clone called the Boston Acoustics PV-1000 at 1/2 the price!

Same monkey, different cage....

I was in the market for a new hgs15, I was told by my dealer that Vel is comming out with a whole new design after the first of the year, it is supposed to have eq adjustments, so I am waiting, no info on prices yet, good luck

Here's what the "expert" at Velodyne says:
***********************************************
Performance is the same. Over a four year period there were many modifications made to the amplifier to make it more reliable and in some instances to make it quieter. So in January 2002 we designated the units Series II.

Thanks,

My opinion is that they were trying to fix the problems that were making the sub blow up. If you read audioreview.com you will see that they had a lot of problems with the early models.
