I've noticed that most HSU subs are down-firing. I am considering a VTF-2 MK3. I am interested is a very musical sub that can also take advantage of the the LFE in DVD's. I also plan to buy M60's. No other speakers for now. My concern is that my listening and equipment will be upstairs over the living room. Will a down-firing sub penetrate through the floor more than a front-firing sub? I suppose those low waves will penetrate any way but will the degree of difference be significant? The sub will be placed on carpeting as well. Can anyone recommend front-firing subs equivalent to the HSU? Axiom, SVS (box type), Ed etc...? Thanks to all.
