I have no Sub now. Will be ordering SVS 25-31PCi or PC+. Ray3 has given me some more to think about so I’m not quite sure yet. The way I read all the comments is that you absolutely can’t go wrong with SVS or Hsu. I think Curtis in his reply said it best. As for why Hsu or SVS. “Unless you have heard subs from both companies, it comes down to four factors IMO....shape, size, cost, and whose marketing you like better.” I didn’t realize it but my final choice was based on this. I liked the shape and height of the SVS PC. I liked the fact that for a given output the columns weigh less than boxes. I liked the way their web site talked about their products. SVS is more money but the other factors won out. I have not heard either and the reviews of both are awesome. The way I figure…I can’t loose either way.
