Folks,


This is for dedicated HT setup. Room Size = 22'L x 16'W
95% Movies only.

Speakers: M50ti, QS8, VP150

Sub: HSU VTF-2 MK2

Is this SUB a good choice for my room size. Should I go for VTF-3? Am under tight budget, but if it really makes sense then I will go for VTF-3.

Thanks.

Hmm...I'm in an 11x16 room, and my STF-2 is almost too much. This is a very capable sub, but I've not tried it in a larger room. I'm sure others will be along shortly with more help.

I had an STF-2 in a room about that size and it worked just fine. I upgraded to a VTF-3R, which has a little more punch, but the STF-2 was very impressive.

The main difference betwen the VTF-2 and STF-2 is the VTF models have a tunable port for max output or max bass extension. The STF-2 is $100 cheaper than the VTF-2.

Hey you could almost afford M60s for the savings

Don't sweat the details too much. Whatever choice you make, it will likely sound better than anything you've heard before.
