Is Velodyne gone?

This is pure speculation on your part.  Do you have any REAL proof of this?

I am currently shopping for a new subwoofer for home theater. I've looked at subs with longer warranties, 5 years on all parts, including the amplifiers. So far, I've looked online at subs built by Axiom and SVS. Any opinions about these companies?

I've got a 2006ish Velodyne DD18 that was a floor model at a closing tweeter.  I got it cheap and it's still going strong.  I've heard the bigger ones last longer because the amps are stressed a lot less.  I'll be disappointed if I can't get parts for it when it croaks, though.  It's been a great sub.  I use a Behringer ultracurve to EQ out the room nodes so I really don't need a sub with all of the signal processing available.  When the time comes my next sub will probably be a cheaper, simpler one. 

I had JL on my radar for upgrade time. I found a post here with a LOT of people saying JLs are prone to failure due to some cheap internal part (last month?). Can't find the post now, however. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I had a HGS 10 and so does my Dad.  Both have needed amp repair, Velodyne acted like they were surprised at the failure when all along they knew and abandoned support 

I sent his amp to a place in Jersey and it works like new for $150
