Got my M60's, Qs8's and VP150 set-up with my Yamaha 1400. I need a sub. Narrowed the list down to HSU, SVS, and Velodyne. Room dimensions are 15 x 30 x 8. Any recommendations?

Take a hard look at the 1.HSU STF-3... Flat to 25 HZ bass, and an excellent sounding unit. 2. SVS PB1-ISD... Flat to 20 Hz, slightly bigger than the STF-3, which gives the deeper bass. 3. SVS 20-39 PCi ... flat to 17 Hz, much bigger than either, though the size is in its 39 inch height...

All are $599... all are excellent !

What are your thoughts on Velodyne? The CHT-15 is in my price range.

The Velo is tuned for high output above 30 Hz... and drops very quickly below that. It is not a bad woofer, just not something that will hit the deep notes.
