"As far as this Outlaw sub goes, my first thought is similar to those Hertz commercials "

I know Outlaw makes great equipment (amps/preamps) and they focused on satisfying music listening needs first (although a 12" 25 Hertz sub is going to be no slouch on HT). I had a Boston Acoustics PV700 and it just sounded boomy/muddy in my room. I am guessing that the Hsu would be great but in the end I am less interested in volume than I am in a great soundstage.

My Axioms are the M22's L/R, VP150 for the center, QS8's for the surround. From everything I am reading on these forums as well as all the reviews I've checked out it is going to sound great - can't wait! Now if I can just find the right sub to make music performances come alive...
