I would go with the 40's and use the money you will save for something else. They are almost *identical* in everyway.

Kieran, I use this scene as one of my testing points for subs and showing off my system to friends and relatives. My whole room vibrates during the pod race scene in Phantom Menace. It gives me a sense of actually being in the pod myself. Usually I play -10dB below reference during that...

Martin, In my opinion, musically they are about the same. For HT use, again IMO, the SVS outshines the Paradigm Servo 15.

Navid, I have dual Paradigm Servo 15's and a CS+ 20-39. Depending on where you live and what is available to you, you could almost buy 2 CS+ or PC+ 20-39's for the price of 1 PS-15. I have tried the SVS sub with the Paradigm Reference speakers I own (100's, 40's & CC) and they sound...

SVS 20-39PC+! NUFF SAID!

SVS 20-39PC+!

Sihan, The Servo 15 had a very slight advantage in dB's over the other 2, the VTF-3 having the least, but my overall favorite for sound was the CS+ 20-39. I feel the 20-39 is the most versatile for both music and HT. I have dual Servo 15's and VTF-3's but we only ran 1 of each during our...

I am looking forward to your little review/comparisons on these subs. I myself have done the similar comparisons with a SVS 20-39CS+, 16-46CS+, a Hsu VTF-3 and a Servo 15. I had 9 guys over for some pizza and a few beverages of our choice, which lasted for an entire weekend :) It was a blast.

Sound is subjective to the individual Ron. That has always been my point when comparing any brand speakers or subs. In the end result *I* am the only opinion that matters, like you said. I am just trying to better understand the mind-set of the average consumer, in what they are looking for...

Sheldon, I have a 20-39CS+ w/1000watt amp & a Berhinger FDPro.

Bolivar G, It's not the lesser of 2 evils. The VTF-3 is a fantastic sub. IMO it's apples to oranges with almost any SVS sub because it's a box to a cyclinder. I honestly cant make up my mind which sub I like better. Everytime I get a new DVD or CD I play it over and over on both subs...

I'm far from an expert, I just reached the level of novice. :) Tom V. owner of SVS, posted these stats on another thread. HSU VTF-3/$849/20hz-100dB, 31hz 112dB Velodyne HGS12/$2000/issue 85/20hz-100dB, 31hz-107dB You could add a 2nd VTF-3 and still save a couple hundred off of buying...

Dustin is dead on, which is getting annoying :) If I move my 20-39 under 3ft, I my picture on my tube starts to turn. My sub is 4ft away just to be safe.

Ditto on the 20-39PC+
