For Sale: Velodyne CHT-8 Powered Subwoofer (2003) – Audiophile Classic

$100 OBO Pick up in Whittier (90603) next to JCPenney Up for sale is a Velodyne CHT Series CHT-8 powered subwoofer, manufactured January 31, 2003—from the era when Velodyne was still building subs in the U.S. with an obsessive focus on accuracy rather than hype. This is a true audiophile sub, known for tight, musical bass that integrates beautifully with vintage and high-end two-channel systems, not the boomy home-theater sound of modern budget subs. Highlights • 8” high-excursion driver • Built-in high-current amplifier • Exceptionally fast, controlled low-frequency response • Ideal for vinyl, jazz, classical, acoustic, and critical listening rooms • Classic Velodyne build quality from the early 2000s (pre-cost-cutting era) Why Audiophiles Love It The CHT-8 is respected for its musicality and accuracy, making it a perfect companion to vintage bookshelf or floor-standing speakers where precision matters more than sheer output. Condition Fully functional. Normal cosmetic wear consistent with age. Some tears on mesh. No modifications. Priced below typical vintage market value for a fast, straightforward sale. Comparable Velodyne subs from this era often list higher, but this is priced to move to someone who appreciates what it is. Perfect for: • Vintage hi-fi systems • Two-channel listening rooms • Turntable setups • Audiophiles who value clean, honest bass Serious buyers only. This is a classic piece of Velodyne history—and they don’t build them like this anymore.
