I'm trying to decide which sub to get:
US$620 Velodyne CHT12R (DLS-4000)
US$510 Wharfedale SW300
US$460 Definitive Technologies Prosub 200TL
Room size = L13' x W10' x H8.5' Concrete walls, solid wooden floor. Subwoofer usage 99% for movies.
Speakers: Wharfedale Diamond 8.4/C/DFS
Receiver: Yamaha RXV-2095
Unfortunately I am only able to demo the Prosub 200TL and nothing else 
Any suggestions/comments/tips/experience on the subs would be great. Currently I am leaning towards the SW300. Any idea if this has a protection mechanism?
Price is "almost" irrelevant, as sound quality/reliability will swing the decision  |

Take a look at HSU subs. I prefer them over the Def Techs which I think are too boomy and not responsive enough for staccato passages. The Velodynes are great if you are on a budget, but for that price, I think the HSU is a lot better. |

Unfortunately, I can only select from those three subs and nothing else at the moment. |

Argh, that is unfortunate. If that is the case, I'll take the Def Techs over Wharfedale and Velodyne. |

I'd take the Velo, but have not heard the Wharfedale. |

don't know about that particular model, but my first sub was a JBL e150 and my God it was a hopeless POS. |
