spiff, do you know which SVS you'll be able to hear locally? I've not heard an HSU, but I would like to.

Pete, how do you like the PB1? I think it is the box version of my 20-39PCi. In my 16x22x10 room, I have the gain at about 45% and if I run it 2-3db hot, it is absolutely overwhelming. Right after I hooked it up, we watched LOTR - Fellowship. Even though my first "sub" was only a Velo CHT-10 that the room swallowed, I kind of knew what the SVS might be capable of. My wife - no clue. When the first major LFE poured out of that thing, the look on my wife's face was priceless.

How big is your room and how does the thing perform for you? I am amazed at guys with 2 subs or some of the really monster-powered ones. What is the point. You can only implode from bone-crushing LFE once. After that, you are dead anyhow.
