"Against an $850 SVS 16-46PC subwoofer"

The SVS 16-46PC costs $650.00 according to the SVS site. This would mean the comparison was done between a $850 HSU VTF-3 and a $650.00 SVS 16-46PC.. a better price match would be to compare it to the $825 20-39PC-Plus, or the $875 16-46PC-Plus. Both of these models feature a 525watt BASH amplifier, as apposed to the 320watt featured in the 16-46PC.
