I've not heard all of the Velo subs, but the ones I did hear sounded like they were geared for HT, and not music. Really loud, and really boomy. Great for movies, but music...bleck. Hsu makes subs with pretty much one goal in mind. Accuracy. Much like Axiom speakers, a Hsu sub reproduces low bass with superb accuracy, which means tight and clean. It'll only BOOM if it's supposed to boom.
I also highly recommend trying to find someone in your area with a Hsu. Bring your velo along and give them a go.
Just missed your last post while I was writing this. I'm pretty sure you'll be bring home a Hsu with you after your visit.
I've always wanted to go visit their place as well, but their hours never match up with when I'm available to go.
