That's a lot of air to move. If $1500 is your budget including shipping, taxes, ... then I would follow Jason's advice and put all of it towards 1 better sub, you can always get a 2nd one at a later time if you feel you're missing something.
Also I just noticed that you're in Canada, so I would just rule out pretty much all US manufacturers unless you can get it shipped to a US address and then pick it up. Epik doesn't ship to Canada and even if you pick one up they will not honor the warranty once it leaves the US, when I was looking at the VTF15, the shipping + duties + Fedex charges + whatever was an extra $300/$400 so this makes it less attractive for us Canadians. If you're in the GTA, www.sonicboomaudio.com is a SVS dealer so you could pick it up locally. If not Axiom and FunkyWaves are your best bet.

Edit: Axiom has the EP350 starting at $656 US on their auction site. I don't know how 2 of them will perform in your room as I've only heard the EP500 and EP600 but even with taxes it will fit your budget.

If I may throw something else into the realm of possibilities, I would consider finding a Paradigm dealer and offering him $1500(or less) for a pair of DSP3400's.

Ty. When it comes to axiom subs. i think i would b looking at the somewhere 400/500/600 all would be out of reach for a pair but atleast there is lay away for the second..

Or could go the Funky wave way with the 15.3 and save for the second one if needed.

The sonicboomaudio website i m having problems veiwing im sure there is a dealer close by though.

Sonic Boom is it's own dealer, they are located in Richmond Hill, actually Buttonville area I believe.

There is also a 15.3 listed as a demo unit under specials that is priced at $1000.

Wouldn't the pc-ultra be close to $2000 once you add HST and shipping? In that price range the FW 12.x would be the way to go IMO.
