Hey, Nick. Welcome back.

So I could adjust the volume without losing the impact?



Probably not.

Irritating your neighbors is going to be a function of how judicious and considerate you are with the overall system volume, not the brand or model. Whether you get a Hsu, SVS, Axiom or whatever other capable sub you are considering, you're going to have the capacity to balance our your enjoyment with your neighbors displeasure. Differentiation between models will allow you to play louder in bigger spaces, but in that size room, any of the choices you mention are going to be great.

I think it just depends on your long term subwoofer strategy. If you want to "future proof" this purchase, spend a little more money now, so that - if you move to a bigger and/or more private space - you'll still have requisite capacity. If you're going to be in smallish, multi-unit spaces for the foreseeable future, just get an EP350, LFM-2, STF-2 or PB10-NSD and spend your money on other things you enjoy.
