I have a Velodyne CHT8 and I am considering replacing it with the LFM...would this be a noticeable improvement or should I save my $$$?
I want it to integrate with Polk Lsi 15 fronts, Rti 100s as surrounds, Sonus Faber Solo center and a Polk Csi 30 rear channel.TIA

Okay....let's say I keep the Velodyne AND get the LFM. Will they work ok together in a two sub set up? What is the appropriate placement of either sub when you have two? I am learning a lot from the posts on this site. Thanks laugh

Do you have a second system or a computer speaker set-up that would benefit from the CHT8?

On lighter side, perhaps the LFM-1 can be put in the system to handle the the normal combination of low-bass tasks, while the CHT8 can be set up as a LFE only sub and be placed immediately under/behind/next-to the primary seating sofa/chairs ... give the movie viewer that little extra bit of "tactile involvement" in some scenes, as long as it doesn't conflict with what you would be hearing from the LFM-1 and the rest of the system. eek

Ok...The Velodyne is on E Bay. Thanks but now I am presented with another challenge.... The LFM-1 or the SVS Pci 25-31? Hmmmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

But wait! There's more laugh ha. I also have to take into consideration that I live in a townhouse (my poor neighbors) and I will need to be able to turn it down some for now and then be able to let 'er rip when I get a house.

For what it's worth, I actually replaced an SVS 25-31PCi with an LFM-1 last year and I preferred the LFM-1.

Check out my review if you haven't already. Basically, the 25-31PCi was somewhat boomy at certain frequencies and didn't integrate with the rest of my speakers as well as the LFM-1 did.
