I see the details have now been reported on Hsu's own forum. PC

I spoke to Dr Hsu on the phone and he mentioned the VTF3HO will be $999 with turbocharger, and $899 without it (+ freight). Shipping starts in December. PC

Wise words. Ditto IMHO PC

Cheers Curtis. I have become a real fan of Hsu's subwoofers and Ascend speakers, so if you hear anything more on this DSP thing let me know. Glad to hear Hsu has not abandoned HTF as it sounded like Parker wanted to clear up the off limits to Hsu advertising rumor. Hsu just doesn't have a...

Thats interesting. Curtis do you know if this technology is going into the new model they are shipping in June? I was lucky enough to get a good listen to a Velodyne DD-15 and no doubt the DSP control at the listening seat produced good results. If Hsu can get this sort of thing down to more...

I would choose the Hsu. I am very happy with my STF-2 in my bedroom sound system and the VTF-3 in my main music system. PC

Parker obviously wanted to publicly clear the air as far as the forum advertising is concerned. Nobody knows Parkers business like Parker and IMHO this helps clears the air. Looking at various past posts it seems the Svs exclusive advertisment rights where a long held belief. It is his...

Mike I have to disagree. There are some quite substantial differences in the way many subwoofers sound. The biggest acoustical problem area of each listening room is in the >150Hz low frequencies. These room problems and the different setups make listening and comparing subwoofers in your room...

It didn't take me long to get the feel for what most of the regular posting members prefer. So it should be pretty clear that this forum has a very strong SVS flavor. You would hope that this platform stays non biased and that personal opinion is taken as it should be. Jack has Hsu actually...

:D :D PC

Robb ;) with all good intentions your drawing at straws when of course Ed has not recorded data on the VTF-3MK2 so I was not talking objective data. Comparing data from different sources is (in most cases) about as useful as a parachute without a rip cord. In actual fact it was little more than...

Craig I followed with interest your posts about DBT and I think it sorts out the men from the mice. I also agree that speakers are always going to invoke a bigger group result variance than that of limited bandwidth bass reproduction. But make no mistake the tonality and definition of a good...

I have often said that I found the VTF-3MK2 is the best sounding subwoofer 'for me'. I didn't say that its the best for 'you' or 'anyone else', and saying otherwise is simply not correct. I will perhaps say its worth a listen but as I often mention people should take opinions with a grain of...

Lets debunk a rumor or two before fantasy and reality blur. Not once have I ever said that all objective data is useless info to be discounted at all costs. It seems the objective police are on their horses trying to round up story that has not been discussed at any stage (by me anyhow). It...

Wayne No forums are a great source of information such as operational issues, reliability issues, company support issues, upcoming product etc etc. I also like a hearty yet friendly debate with people chasing the non existent dream of perfect sound reproduction. :) Robb Like a friend...

Rob/Jack I believe audio is more subjective, you believe its objective. So what we differ, its what makes the world go around and its not a life threating decision anyhow. ;) The vast majority of buyers are purchasing audio only to 'please us' not to say on forums that it measures this way or...

Not a chance, personal preference recommendations hold no weight and anyone who thinks they do is shortchanging themselves. Lets be clear I am not saying objective data is useless information, but much of the objective data is either superficial, very flawed or worse of all misinterpreted and...

Craig I got to agree with this because no matter what subwoofer I auditioned I just couldn't find another subwoofer that I liked better. It really is an overachieving subwoofer especially for its excellent value. PC

No you choose for yourself. My favorite has nothing to do with what sounds best to you. Of course if you prefer to listen to something that doesn't sound the 'best to you' then thats totally your choice. Much like our individual music choice or the food we choose to eat, the whole aim of a...

Jack you mean only you can decide which one sounds the best. :D PC

Rob my doubt is with the 'no listening'. Hence you can have no knowledge of how they sound because you have done 'no direct comparing'. I think the in home trial period is a must have no matter if its B&M brand or one of these direct market brands.:) My only real problem is not with the...

Forgetting the very obvious choices that a buyer can use to make his decision like size, finish and price. Its my understanding from what you are saying 'you simply don't understand the numbers', but if you did thats all you would need to be able to choose a subwoofer. That to me means you...

Jack are you saying that measured objective data is the only way to buy a subwoofer? PC

Craig that sounds bad, but I been winged here many times for saying I like my Hsu. In the time I have been a member I have seen some pretty hot under the collar subwoofer exchanges [on this forum], followed closely by the mods deleting the whole/part thread. I have not seen that on the Hsu...

Dave most here know that mentioning Hsu in this forum is like mentioning Svs in the Hsu forum. You never going to get either forum to swing the other way. AVS forum is a much more neutrally orientated balance of postings. As far as the VTF3 MK2 vs PB12-ISD after listening to both I too preferred...

Certainly is. Price/Performance comparisons like this are where you can see the value of it being directly sold to us the consumer. Works for me. PC

Boy at $975 to $1,375 that Krix is sure super expensive for the performance. I wonder if they sell any? The sales guys must feel guilty at that price. I think I will stick to my $700 Hsu Research VTF-3MK2. PC

My STF-2 at $424 shipped, or VTF-2Mk2 at $524 shipped. PC

I notice on Hsu's forum that the STF-3 will be one of the Hsu models that will get its own optional plug in turbocharger. Although numbers where not disclosed according to Hsu it will be like adding another subwoofer and give the subwoofer more frequency extension. The bad part is my STF-2 is...
