Then go with M80s. If she`s complaining for M60s, it won't be that much worse with M80s!

Yeah I was into Audio Visual the other day and the guy said they're having a tax free sale in the next couple weeks (-13%). Do you think I'd still be able to get him down more from that on a sub or am I pushing it?
It's still a buyers market out there, if he thinks you're walking, he'll deal with you. When I bought my sub, they had it "on sale" online for over $800. I asked them what "their price" was, he said he could give it to me for $730 so I offered him $700...he took it. He also had a 4 month old display model DSP3400 that he said I could have for $600, which in hindsight, I wished I had of bought also. I find that almost any business will deal with you as long as they feel you're not convinced you want what they're selling. Afterall, you have what they want....$$$....they are one of many who have what you want, being the sub. Good luck.

Is it expensive to order HSU subs in Canada? I hear a lot about them as well.

You'd have to contact HSU about that, AFAIK when you bring audio equip't into Canada from the US, you just pay GST and PST as if you had purchased locally. I actually went to Canada Customs in person about 6 weeks ago and enquired about bringing audio equip't across the border....keep in mind I am referring to bringing said items across the border myself, not through a broker or ordering online for shipment. Contact HSU, see what they say, I'm sure they get a lot of enquiries from Canada.

Maybe we could convince BigWyres to bring a bunch back in his truck for us and have a sidewalk sale. If he is driving, he'd be to busy to pour concrete in them........I think.

Mark also has a point, although you don't have to quiet as devious. My wife was very negative about buying floor standing speakers even after we built the larger home. Until she heard them.
She still pretends to have no interest in good audio but a personal victory for me was one time she returned from visiting her Mom and they tried to watch a movie on her TV and just the built in speakers. She started explaining to me how hard it was to watch the movie because it sounded so bad. WIN!!!
Worst case scenario, she can go have a chat with my wife about how silly we are. I'm sure my wife would enjoy that. Could not have said it better!! I bought the M60's earlier this summer after auditioning the Studio 60's. Best decision that I have made in years. Wife was the same.....HOW BIG are they? Won't they be obtrusive? Won't they Stick out too much? Blah, Blah, Blah. I finally found a Mark Kopfler CD (not Ragpicker) and put it on. She was not in the listening area - but close. Bout 7 tracks into it, I paused it and she said Hey! I was enjoying listening to that! WIN!. We came back from our beach trip where the only speakers were the TV speakers. First thing we watched after returning - comment was "OH...that sounds different" WIN!.....She won't say better - that has to be the assumption.

So I contacted HSU and they are wondering what sub I would like a quote for. How is it that I size a sub anyway? Is it amp power? Enclosure size? I was thinking the VTF-2 MK 3, But that's just based on price, I don't know what I would need for size. I'd like to get it down to a few options for subs. So far I have the 2 from SVS and the Axiom EP350 and I'd like to see what HSU has to offer in that price range. I know I'm probably starting to annoy you guys picking you brains like this, But I really do appreciate it. Sometimes it's hard to get a response in other forums. @ Murph and Argon I have a feeling I'm going to be in the same situation. She loves listening to music and watching movies just as much as I do. She'll come around eventually. Edit: I found this , should give me an idea of what I need.

Epik and Outlaw might be a couple of other brands to check out. If you are in contact with HSU(or other) tell them the size of room you have, what your goals are(music,HT preference) and see what recommendations they make. For your size of space, I think you'll be looking at something similar to the EP350 or better in Axiom's lineup.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Someone snag them and let us know.
