In his review of the Velodyne Digital Drive DD-18 powered subwoofer, Larry Greenhill comments, "When I've tested other 'breakthrough' subwoofers, I've been disappointed. All the convenient fine-tuning in the world won't matter if I end up with the same nasty old room modes and woofer bloat." But as LG discovers, the DD-18 is indeed different.

Stereophile's multichannel music maven, Kalman Rubinson, checks out the Fosgate Audionics FAP V1 surround processor/preamplifier. KR writes, "No Dolby Digital, no DTS—just Dolby Pro Logic . . . . But the more I thought about it, the more interesting a prospect the FAP V1 seemed."

Next, we have Art Dudley's Listening #18. AD decides to tackle unconventional audio technology, stating, "For every 10 or so outright howlers, a product of unconventional technology comes along that actually works." Dudley attempts to seperate the righteous from the ridiculous.
