Velodyne Vs. Hsu

I know everyone else is going to say it, so I'll be the first REL ST series get the best you can afford, you'll be very happy :) btw you should be careful about your ghetto blaster bass coment you'll get flamed by the rapphiles here, all of that aside I don't care what they think ;)

I will agree with Tim in regard to REL ST subwoofers. I own a Storm III that I use with a pair of B&W N803's. This is a musical subwoofer that is able to provide tuneful bass that integrates better than any other subwoofer that I have had in my system. An excellent choice, one that you will not regret.

Velodynes with servo control are great, but watch out for the earliest version of the HGS-10. Mine is the early version and is working great after 6 months, but a lot of people at Audioreview had major failures. The HGS-12 didn't have as many problems. The bigger Hsu seems to be a great sub (check out the Audio Critic review), but it's tall and tips over easily. It's hard to hide. My Velodyne is an 11" cube that goes anywhere. In a normal size room a HGS-10 is plenty. I listen mainly to baroque chamber orchestra,organ music and The Who. It's only down -4 dB at 20Hz at my listening position. 20Hz is clean without doubling;it knocks dust off the ceiling fan and cracks the walls.

Try a SV sub. You want buy either one of these, I promise.

At the price point of a Hsu I would choose it over a similarly priced Velodyne. But for more $$$ I would also get a REL.
