I noticed that Hsu was having a sale on the STF-3 @ only $480. That seems to be a tremendous deal. I know both Hsu and SVS subs are praised around here.

But again, I am in this for the long haul, so if someone can say that the EP500 is really worth 2x+ the cost of the STF-3, I'd be willing to listen.
