I know zip about the Paradigm, but from what I've learned, here and elsewhere, you can't miss with either the Hsu, or the SVS. I know Ray3 has a 20-39, and Spiffnme has the VTF-3, I think. Each feels he has the better sub. It's a win/win decision between those two. Go with the one that fits your room and budget, and don't look back.
