Velodyne makes amazing subs I know you're the seller I keep a close eye on stuff like this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One recently sold for 1/3 the cost of the one someone is selling on Ebay. Cory was selling P312s for 2k, much better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have researched the HGS18THX Ultra 2, only found 1 sold in the last 2-3 years and sold for $2200.00 before that last one sold for $1780.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the THX, but was a much better bargain than that. It would certainly be hard to replace for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Cory had P312sw a few weeks ago for $2k and they listed for $4k new. No way a 20 year old sub that listed for $2600 new will sell today for $2550 today. If it sells, the seller had an extremely unknowledgeable buyer.

Ceptorman Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I still think it's WAY overpriced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering you can buy 2 Klipsch RP-1600's right now brand new (on sale $1169) and still have change in your pocket yeah I'd say it's a bit over priced. The fact that the seller has referenced an amp repair specialist a few times already for his 20 year old sub doesn't instill a whole lot of confidence either. Now maybe if the sub amp was already refurbished and had some sort of warranty but even then I would think it would be a tough sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy in PA that repairs Velodyne sub amps. He is in my option the best. with a 2 year warranty. How much did he charge you to fix the amp of this sub?

Frzninvt Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I picked mine up years ago for $400 to play with my other two HGS-15's supporting a trio of La Scala's. The servo in these units ensure extremely low clean distortion free bass as it monitors cone movement thousands of time a second. Yes they are old but even the new Klipsch subs can't dig as deep regardless of what the specifications indicate. I owned one Klipsch subwoofer a KSW-15 that I bought new and it was a POS. Boxed in back up and sold it. The only worthwhile subs Klipsch has ever produced are the RSW line and the THX Ultra's. The rest are mediocre at best and the self destructing plate amp issues have plagued Klipsch for years. However, the eBay asking price is well beyond optimistic maybe $500 to $800 tops if it is in perfect working order. If the servo circuit goes in these getting it repaired will be difficult as the woofer and amp need to be sent together in order to calibrate the servo properly if you can find someone to repair it as Velodyne no longer services these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
