    anyone directly compared SVS 25-31 PCi and HSU STF-2?

    It looks like STF-2 goes deeper(-2db vs -3db@25hz). It looks like STF-2 goes cheaper($315+tax@Compusa vs $549+shipping). So the key point is how loud do you want in HT. My room is 12(w)x15(l)x8(h) with sub in the center of one side and sofa next to the wall of the other side. My receiver is...

    Which Polk Speaker Package Would You Choose?

    I auditioned Paradigm monitor series, B&W 600 series and KEF Q series before I bought my Polk RTi70. Even there are many better speakers for sound quality, you just can't beat RTi series price especially now and you will hold the ticket for full refund upgrade in one year if you buy it from CC...

    Polk RTi Series

    I also got RTi70 and i am very happy. For me Rti100 will not only waste your money but also degrade the clarity of your sound. I have HK AVR520 and with RTi70 alone it can go down as low as my PSW-350/RTi70 combanation. On the other hand, my psw-350 can go down deeper than Def Tech prosub...

    Energy C-5 or B&W 603 S3

    I audited both B&W 602s3 & 603s3 before and i think 602 sounds better than 603. I didn't audit C-5 so no comparision.

    Suggestions for Speakers to Audition?

    my personal experience: B&W602S3($600/pair) sounds better and looks nicer than paradigm monitor 7 v3($579/pair) but both without discount and not magnetic shielded. you may need stands for them but 602 sounds better than 602.5 & 603 in my ears. KEF Q9 ($1299/pair) looks & sounds best and...
