I know, do a sub shoot out and buy all 3, have a good long listen to all of them. Write up a good review for the rest of us and then ship back the ones you don't like. This way you know you will be getting the one that works best for you. I know it doesn't solve the shipping issue, but it would let you rest easier at night knowing it was the right choice.

Jakewash, if you want to see an HSU sub in Calgary, there is a place on 12ave and 14st SW called the Audio Room that sells them.

The guy there is old school audiophile and has some nice gear and has a STF-1 on the floor and sells a lot of the VTF2.2

He was a bit hard to understand (speech is slurred, probably by a stroke) but can order the VTF2.2 for $699. He also has some nice Velodyne stuff but much more expensive.
