    HSU VTF3R or SVS PB2 ISD

    I agree with Ed that the way this thread played out was most unfortunate. I am happy that Ed and I have reconciled our differences and, as far as I am concerned, this is now ancient history. I have offered to help Ed in any way I can should he decide to pursue the testing further. I extend...

    I was prepared to drop this but you got me riled up again.

    It's perfectly OK if someone wants to perform an analysis however they choose. I just don't want my name associated with it and I will be one of those who challenges how "scientific" the analysis was. As far as your concerns about whether the parties involved get to set the terms, that would...

    To a certain extent I'm being an antagonist here since I've not committed yet to what subwoofer I am going to get (its the last piece of my HT system). However, I am with Curtis on the "bigger isn't necessarily better" argument. If I carried that argument to an extreme, then using a V8 engine to...

    I know there was (and maybe still is) a special to get the VTF-3R for the same price as the regular VTF-3 ($849). BTW, the VTF price includes the shipping (SVS price doesn't). I am in the process of making a decision on what sub to get. I started out thinking that I would get one of the SVS...
