Bridgman:
1. "BIG EGO" has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with wid, or any other member of this Forum!! All I was trying to say is if you make a mistake don't be afraid to admit it. Obviously, "BIG EGO" should have gone in a separate E-mail unrelated to anyone (however you do that). My apologies to wid for thinking that I would write something like that about him!! I certainly would not!!
2. "BTW Sirquack's first response had nothing to do with how long anyone had been on this forum -- as you correctly point out that doesn't count for much. What he said was that some of these people had been working with and bulding knowledge about AV for a long time and *that* wasn't something you should just blow off."
I misconstrued what he said. I realise that people on this Forum work hard; I can tell by the answers to questions. I just got peed-off with someone thinking that I was being rude to wid, when that was absolutelty false. However, I take your point; I was way out of line with Sirquack, I sincerely apologise to Sirquack, and I sincerely hope that Sirquack will accept my apology.
3. "Anyways, we Canadians are supposed to be a polite and tolerant lot, right ? It says that on the back of the flag in small letters."
I apologise for my conduct on this Forum, and for the other things said further down as a result of the "BIG EGO". Next time I will be more careful in how I write things, and if I misconstrue something in a way that's going to make me fly off the handle, I'll just 'take a pill', and cool off.
4. That's it unless you want more out of me (and that's not meant to be condescending).

1. Please read my response to bridgeman.
2. You are absolutely right; I was obnoxious and rude. I have apologized to everyone on this Forum, and am apologising to you for what I have written. Will you accept my apology?
3. Thanks for the advise on the EP350. Did you you use any methodology other than listening to choose the EP350?

Tamzarian.. thanks for considering what I've said, and yes, your apology is accepted!
I recommended the EP350 based on your equipment and room size, though to be honest I haven't heard it myself. It should meet your needs quite well.
I've got the EP500, and it is a significant step up due to the 500 watt amp & DSP technology. If your budget allows, you might consider the EP500 to 'future proof' your sub, especially if you may move to a larger room in the future.

The usual problem: my room is small, and major furniture is fixed in location. That means the sub is relegated to a non-negotiable position. Because I can't move it to the optimuum position, am I going to realise any benefit from it?

You'll have to play with it a bit, but you should see some benefit. Bearing in mind that I haven't heard the Hsu or the EP350, you should probably also consider SVS and Hsu subs in the same price range. Now, if you're looking at ~$11-1200 for a sub, go with the 500, hands down. 400 if you want a smaller box, although I have yet to see a review of one.

Ken & wid:
You've convinced me to go with a sub. I stated the dimensions of my small room (10' x 10' x 8'), with most furniture fixed in position.
So I'm going to walk into this sub-shop, with a room of different dimensions, all speakers properly placed, and whatever brand I listen to, is going to sound good. How do I make a decision. Just go with the recommendations that you made Ken (since you've been through this process). I've got about $700 CAN to spend, and as for finding audio shops in Ottawa to have a listen, you might as well live in Hooterville.
Best Regards

I would try and find a shop that still has some Hsu subs in stock. If you do then I would recommend the Hsu VTF 2 MK2. It will go plenty low and does sound great with music. I would have also said to check out the Axiom EP 350 but it doesn't look as if it has R&L low-level inputs. If you were connecting the sub from a set of pre outs I would definitely look for a sub that has these connections.

From everything I've read, that seems to be an excellent suggestion by Wid. I had my Sony SAWM40 (120W) in a room that had the same volume as yours. The bass was simply gut-wrenching in that little room . So my opinion is that you don't need a lot of power for that room volume. Try to find a sub that is musical. You will have to try it out in your room and should not rely on what you hear at the shops.
