    To anyone who has tested the HSU VTF-3 How does it compair with other woofers.

    You gotta be kidding me! :D Hsu = 10 SVS = 8 Assuming this is not a joke, I will try and fill in where I can from memory. I did some very lengthy reviews that you can go look at as well. We did do extensive listening tests with a group of friends on both the Hsu VTF-3 and the SVS 20-39 CS. We...

    I have gotten a couple of emails from folks who are purchasing the VTF-3 and they will have them shortly and have promised to post a review. Also, Howard Ferstler is doing a review on the VTF-3 that is due out shortly. Based on conversations via email with him, the review promises to be very...

    adire subs sound + SVS quesiton

    From all the research I did (which was a TON) the two best boxed subs in the "bang for the buck" category, are the Dharman and the Hsu VTF-3.

    What are some of the best looking 5.1 speakers?

    I just set up my Divas today (two pairs of 6.1's) and the pictures really don't do them justice. For one thing, they look a little glossier in the photos when in fact, the wood has more of a satin finish. It's very understated and just like a nice piece of furniture. Secondly, if you leave the...

    AVIA Note: Subwoofer Calibration

    Am I correct that the AVIA discs' lowest frequency sweep is at 20 Hz? My Sub is still going strong at 20 but that's as low as the test disc seems to go. Are there deeper test tones in there somewhere that I'm missing?

    why do so many people on this forum use paradigm speakers?

    Because nothing breeds success like success. It's a snowball effect. The more people that own and are happy with a certain brand, the more buzz it creates and the more folks that will buy the same brand. Nothing says more about how well somebody liked a particular product more than if they...
