Subwoofer hunt

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,

Nobody mentioned sunfire or vanderstein . I have had alot of subs over the years( rel ,velodyne.sunfire,JL audio jbl and vandys never had a  hsu personally, no opinion there ). I believe treament is a huge part of a room operating properly.I currently run one sub in my audio room ,2 in my ht room .If i was doing it again personnally i would rather have two 10" or even 8" then one 12" .But thats a whole new debate .lol 
good luck ..

Elac SUB 2070 sounds awesome!  Opposed/vibration cancelling configuration, zero cabinet vibration, zero vibration transmitted to the floor.  Effortless.  :-)
