Hi Canada, The SMS-1 is for bass management only. Thanks for the kind words.

Canada  » Jun 30, 2011 08:05 AM

Does the Velodyne DD system take care of just the bass or everything.

Canada  » Jun 30, 2011 08:05 AM

I cant even imagine what the 802D's sound like but I am still sometimes surprised by my 683's.

kingofgrills  » Apr 10, 2010 12:20 PM

Fantastic room! B&W speakers are probably my all-time favorite line, and you have them beautifully implemented in your room! It's clear to see you've put a great amount of planning in the room -- for equipment, EQ, and room treatment -- and it undoubtedly shines through in the presentation. Bravo!

simthy-bluray  » Apr 01, 2010 05:49 AM
