I have a Hsu VTF-2 and it is excellent. As a matter of fact it is a bit overpowering for my system and I have to turn it all the way down. If I turn it up it actually makes all the walls shake and I have to rehang my wife's stuff afterwards. One other drawback is the size, it is quite large...

Great response. I understand it a lot better now. I still have my Subwoofer a lot louder than the rest, but I just turn it all down on the back. I thought my DVD was screwed up. Also hooked up the optical cable, but need to check to see if my settings are correct. Watched Reservoir Dogs last...

Is the coax cable superior to the RCA cables I have hooked up right now?? I figured 3 wires was better than 1, so I used those. I am looking forward to getting home and messing around with it now.

Right now everything is hooked up with cables. Would switching to the optical cable improve this any. I know the DVDhas an optical output, and the reciever has an input, but don't want to buy the cable if I dont have to.

I have been looking at the Bravos' for use as rear speakers, but have shied away because of cost ($400 per pair). I did check them out at Ultimate Electronics and liked the sound. One thing I noticed was that there was almost no hiss when nothing was playing, but the source volume was turned up...

I have an issue with my system. My Yamaha reciever sounds fine with the volume set at -55 for music and CD's. When I switch to the DVD I have to jack the volume up to -25 for normal viewing, and all the way to -14 or so for real effect. Anyone have any idea why this is so. Do I have an...

I have a HSU VTF-2 that I really like. It is actually a bit too much sometimes and I have it turned almost all the way down. When I turn it up the bass becomes overwhelming, and I have to re-align the pictures ohung on my wall because it shakes the house so much. Many others seem to like the...

Opened the sub on monday, found the problem and sent the woofer to Hsu by FEDEX. Less that 48 hours later I have recieved a brand new part, installed it, and all seems well. I will give it a workout tonight. Hsu customer service has been top notch.

Mystery solved (I think). Sub evidently took a hit in shipping and woofer is blown. The speaker fabric does not move in and out easily because the magnets partially separated from the speaker and the whole assembly now has a slight cant. That also explains how sub would only come on at certain...

OK, I just did a swap test with test subwoofer. That one ran fine. Sounds like the main speaker is blown. VERY ragged bass that cuts in and out randomly, and sounds horrible. No crossover to speak of. Hsu doesn't respond until a certain point, then it comes on in a big way. Sounds like a...

Good point on listening to stuff. 10 years ago I bought a pair of Bose 10.2 (yes, Bose, I know what you are thinking) based on listening to them compared to about 15 other models. Back then I knew NOTHING, not that Bose was good or bad, just bought what I liked to hear. While grossly...

Just picked up a spare subwoofer from a friend. Will plug it in and test it out when I get home. Should be able to tell if it is the sub or the reciever settings based on component swapout. If it works, then the sub is bad, if not then I have a reciever/settings problem.

Thanks, I'll check out the sub cable. I bought a decent $20 cable at best buy, but just plugged it in. Maybe it is backwards.

I have the mains set to small, the LFE to both mains and subs, but I cannot find a setting turning LFE on or off. Would this be a separate control? To top it off I cannot find the manual for my reciever to work through the menues. I know the sub works because it will make sound (really badly)...
