Sounds like you'd be very happy with the VTF-2. I know I am.

That's about the same size as my room, and my VTF-2 might break the windows if I turned the volume up far enough. I'm confident that I would notice little to no difference with a larger sub in my room.

yeah Spiffy, let us know.

I just finished comparing my VTF-3 with a 20-39PC+. We can compare notes.

Hey, Curtis, you are going to post your thorough comparative review here, right?

I have given some thoughts out privately. Going to see if I can work out some time with Craig so he can come over to listen......otherwise I need to send the thing back, it is taking up a lot of room.

Lets put it this way.....Sushi, IMHO, you are correct in assuming that your VTF-3 purchase was a great choice for your purposes.

Just like how I felt after the budget speaker comparison we did a while back, I am very happy with my VTF-3 purchase. And what makes it even better is that mine cost even less because it was b-stock.

I purchased the M60's, VP150,QS8's and EP175 about 3 weeks ago. I saw all the Hsu references here but am now more curious than ever! Before my 30 days runs out, can anyone answer: What will I gain if I choose the VTF-2 over the EP175? I really don't like that much BASS with my music and at least so far, movies seem ok. I have noticed that the red "on" indicator has already gone out on the EP175 but I'm not too concerned about that my biggest issue is will I get cleaner, crisper bass if I get the Hsu's? I'd really like to hear from others that have gone through the same quandry.

Thanks,

Bob

I've never listened to the Axiom subs, but from various reviews it seems that the EP series produce a very tight, clean, and crisp bass sound, which is much in line with the bass characteristics of the Axiom main speakers.

That said, I am pretty sure that the Hsu VTF-2 goes significantly deeper in the very bottom octave, with a higher maximum SPL available, than the EP175. However, I don't know whether the Hsu sounds noticeably "cleaner and crisper" than the EP175 driven within its limits.
