from HSU Research Summary:
The new HSU VTF-1 is my first sub. I replaced my Bose 301s with bookshelf Ascend 170SE speakers. They are very clear and neutral, but lack bass-thus the sub. I did listen to more expensive subs from Paradigm and Klipsch. I ordered the VTF1 based on HSU's excellent reputation, return policy, and customer service. The sub turned out to be much better,and more, than expected. It is not boomie, but provides authority as in the Irish drums in The Celtic Ladies new CD. I listen mostly to music, however, when played with a DVD, such as Saving Pvt Ryan, it wil provide realistic, surround sound that shakes the house. For a small or medium size room, up to 3000 CF, it is more than I will ever need.l Strengths:
Clear bass-no boominess; variable tuning to maximize loudness or depth of bass; very musical and tons of "punch"for home theater; less expensive than similar offerings from Onix, SVS, and Axiom; better sound (IMO) than more expensive offerings from klipsch and Paradigm; helpful and knowledageable customer service; fast, cheap shipping-$27 CA-FL, five days;sub built like a tank-55 lb shipping wt. and seven year warrenty. Weaknesses:
For this price, none. Black box is not very pretty (matches my speakers) but a maple version is coming soon for no extra charge. This sub will not fill a huge room, but the 3000 CF rating is probably conservative. Similar Products Used:
None-myfirst, and probably last, sub.
