Outlaw makes some pretty good subs too. the LFM2 is fairly inexpensive. Every once in a while they have open box / seconds sales on their web sight.

Mike the problem with the Outlaw subs is they do not have the R&L low-level inputs to use from a preamp.

If I were to go with a system geared more to music, I'd like the VTF2--although it is no slouch for HT. Remember, this is just my opinion, but I slightly preferred the sound of the 10" driver with music. Also, this was the Mk2 version of the VTF2. The current VTF2, designated Mk3, uses a 12" driver.
I was looking for maximum slam for HT and ended up going with the VTF3 Mk2. I really hesitate to tell you which one to get because it's really subjective. Both subs sounded great. For a music only system I would have chosen the 10". As it was, I needed one for HT as well, and wanted something big and powerful and went with the 12".
I haven't heard the newer Hsu subs. My advice for subs is to buy the biggest you can afford. As long as you keep the gain under control it won't overpower a small room, and you're future-proofed if you move into a larger space.

Hu?? What's a low-level input? My LFM-1 has the standard coax and line-level. Have they changed their designs?

low level = line level
I think the previous post was just saying that there is only one line level input, so if you are using a stereo receiver (rather than AVR) and don't have a "subwoofer out" then you need to find another way to blend the two channels.

BTW if you're in Ottawa then the closest known Hsu dealer is probably Superteck in Montreal. I think that's the right spelling.

I use the line level from my stereo pre/pro. R – L in and then out to the stereo speakers. I have to use the sub’s X-over in this configuration.

You are using speaker cables (high level)............correct? I am talking about R&L low level inputs.......coax cable.
