Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Hsu Ventriloquist system

I didn't get a chance to do all that much listening. I just know it was far better than his HTIB. With the little listening I did, I'd say movies sounded better than music, but again, I didn't have time that night to listen much. I must say that I wasn't thrilled with his receiver. I'd like to talk him into a better receiver as well. He is currently using a Sony STR-DE475. I have a similar unit in my bedroom and hate it.

I don't listen to music to much with the Hsu system as I have M80's for my stereo set up,but what music I have listened through it sounds pretty good.We are talking a $500 system here including a sub,of course there is better but for the money and size it does sound really good.

I must have missed that post wid.
I also was not considering any smallish HT setup a year ago. I never thought my father would be interested in such a thing.
I'm hearing you now though!!

Hey Chess,

The only reason I went with such a small system in the first place was I didn't have much room for it.My living room is where my stereo is and I wanted to find a small system to be put in the same room.The Hsu system was a gift to the wife as she insisted on having a HT system for her movies.Well anyone who is married knows the boss always gets what she wants .So now she has her system and I have mine.

Plus I was familar with Hsu quality as I also have 2 VTF-2's.I figured the VT-12's couldn't be all that bad............and it they aren't.

That is good to know wid since it would be alot cheaper than even the smallest Axiom setup, unless i went searching for used items and perhaps even some of the discontinued models.

Hey...the Ventriloquist and STF-1 earned my seal of approval a while ago. For $500...I think it is agreat system.

I know the folks at Hsu are extremely proud of the STF-1. They say the driver and its sound came out perfect.

Here are some reviews of the Hsu system.
