Subwoofer hunt

@bob_reynolds : Thanks Bob! I am looking into the HSU sealed ones as of now. However, I had read on the JL's site for reviews of one of their models that the amp had failed on the buyer within 6 months of purchase. I was curious to know if HSU subs are reliable.

I found Hsu to be very reliable and the customer service easy and quick to deal with. I had issues related to stock and availability, not reliability.

If you like SurgeX, Furman sells series mode surge protectors at half the price. :) Not all Furmans have SMP, but the one's that have comparable features to SurgeX are less expensive.

I've been using a pair of Hsu ULS-15s for six or seven years now. I leave them powered up 24/7 and have not experienced any reliabilty issues. The standby mode is not sensitive enough for the levels I listen at, so they don't "auto-on" unless levels are loud enough to trip them.

I have the pair eq'd with an SVSound AS-EQ1, which does a fantastic job of taming peaks in my room. They've been off the market a few years, but worth seeking out if you have bass/room issues.

I use a miniDSP HD for my sub, works great and integrated with OmniMic fantastically. Also work very well with Room EQ Wizard. The usual issues are users trying to EQ for flat instead of a descending (1-1.5 db/octave) slope, and complaining it sounds flat. :) 

Any receiver with Audyssey or DiracLive should do about the same. 

Best,
