Has anyone compared the EP175 and VTF-2 paired with M22s? For home theater I get the impression that the VTF-2 is the better choice, but for music which one is the better choice? Any thoughts...

VTF-2 is better for both.

Um, no offense, but every single thread on this forum pretty much has someone telling them to get the HSU VTF-2 or SVS PBS-1. It is not that Axiom subs are bad, they just are not quite as good as these companies that specialize only in subs. So please, look at any other forum topic, and you will see that posted everywhere.

Looks like I've got a competitor for the post of Axiom Board curmudgeon!

Snip...if you don't like answering questions repeatedly, just pass by the thread. You don't have to respond every time.
Many newbies aren't only newbies to this board, they're newbies to boards altogether. Besides, it's nice to have someone personally respond to your question. It's more like talking to someone about your questions, rather than just going to the library and looking the info up in a book. It's the interaction that makes boards fun, no?
and to answer your question. Yeah - get the Hsu. You won't be dissapointed.

Sorry I am not trying to be mean, there was just a thread two spots below this one that said something like:
"Recommended subs for M22's?"
I just thought the poster could have looked over the posts a little before posting his own topic. Then they would have seen an answer already.

Sorry for the newbie post. Before posting I did read many previous threads on the sub issue but felt very few addressed the issue from a musical perspective.
spiffnme - Thanks for sticking up for us newbies!! I also find your posts very informative.

Don't be sorry, mannyr...
I know that, although we all answer similar questions many times, in each iteration we tend to phrase it differently with distinct emphases, reflecting the particular way the questioner asks things. I don't feel repeated answers are a waste -- although, yes, I do encourage newbies to search the forum first.
To answer your question, yes, the Hsu subs are particularly good at music, thanks to their tight, accurate bass capabilities.

Manny, I don't have any personal observations on the two subs you mention, but I have a general comment. A sub should play low with fairly flat response, at high levels, and with moderate distortion(although relatively high levels of distortion aren't audible in the lowest bass frequencies). If it does, it's a good sub, and is good for music, movies and music in movies. If it doesn't, it isn't good enough. In my view no distinction between music and movies should be discussed, although this sometimes take place.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
