Wow, good stuff guys. Special thanks to Tom and Jason for their detailed advice.

While the STF-3 is a great deal, I'm a little put-off by the fact that they don't appear to have a 30-day money back guarantee. The VTF's do, but there's no mention of it with the STF's. I'm not going to buy unheard speakers over the 'net without a return policy, no matter how well reviewed or cheap. That, and the fact that the HSU subs are made in China means I'd much rather support Axiom or SVS. But I digress....

I'm still on the fence about this, but I'm leaning more towards doing the Sub+Surrounds option, as my existing sub is the oldest item in my HT system and really ought to be replaced.

Thanks all!
