Soon after I received my speakers in January, I was notified my job was being eliminated. I therefore put a hold on buying more toys.
I promised myself that I would finally buy the subwoofer when I got a new job. Well, that time is now!!! Yesterday I accepted a new job with a small medical device firm in New Hope, PA.
Sooooo, which sub will it be. It doesn't take a genius to figure out it'll be HSU (is it pronounced "Sue"?) or SVS (which I guess is pronounced "S-V-S")
I have a large room so it will probably be the STF-3 or the PB12-ISD. Like many things, I'm sure I'd be very happy with either one. Without over-analyzing this, an obvious difference is the HSU fires down into the carpet and the SVS fires down into a base plate. Is there much of a difference?
Thanks

Congratulations on th ejob John - what a poetic name for this new opportunity. As far as the sub goes, either works (I prefer SVS). I don't know what "large room" means, but that doesn't really matter. Set aside an hour and call both HSU (yes - "sue") and SVS and talk to them. They''ll walk you through some questions and ask about things you may not have considered. You may even be surprised to find you can get a smaller sub.

You really need to hear both if possible. If you can't do that, flip a coin. You'll get just as many people suggesting SVS as you will Hsu. (I'm in the Hsu camp.)

No advice on the subs. Just wanted to say New Hope is a neat little town. Kinda touristy in that it has one main street with a number of shops running along it that sell all kinds of things. No idea how it is to live there, but I've been through a few times and it seems like a nice little place.

The office I will be working out of is in a strip mall. They are actually old warehouses that were renovated. It's a neat place.

I would have tried until I saw the NY Giants helmet on your posting. Tomorrow would be good we can watch Eli get killed by the Steelers. That will almost be cruel and unusual punishment. I should talk, my Rams are playing more like the old LA Lambs.

From a Steeler's perspective, that would be "normal and usual treatment". . I smell a hijack on the horizon.
