wuzzzer, yes i tried moving the RW-8 on top of the velodyne. I too had heard ppl talking about that..Although It didnt sound good at all, as a matter of fact it was boomy. Maybe because its front firing or maybe because its only got a 275 watt amp I dont know. It wasnt the deep sounding bass i was looking for. I tried across the room, next to me on the couch with the Velodyne next to the right speaker . what i noticed was I could hear the sub next to the couch a little better than the velodyne sub, it wasnt blending in the way i wanted it too. Then I tried both of them directly across from each other...one in front of both speakers..That wasnt too bad.. BUt im getting a Much better hard hitting bass with the two of them side by side..go figure i dunno why.
What i can tell u is..if u are in front of my system when my denon is playing Deep cut classic rock from sirius satelitte on direct mode...You would think im running a high powered 2000 watt 10 inch driver or a sub 12
