I am new here and have been lurking for a few weeks. You all have a great forum and I have learned alot. I have a question that perhaps some of you can guide me on. I am retiring my 20 year old Klipsch Heresys and I have ordered Paradigm Studio 20s, CC Studio Center and Atoms for my first HT system and I need to decide on a sub. The system will be used 50/50 HT/music, the room is small (11x13) and I live in an apartment so I cannot crank the sub up too much. The choices I have come to are:
1. (lest expensive) Paradigm PDR8 $270
2. Paradigm (middle cost)PDR10 $315
3. HSU VTF2 (Most expensive). $450
I have not been able to audition the Paradigm subs, but I have listened to the HSU and it sounds pretty good. The
Paradigms are less expensive and since they smaller they would be much easier to place in my small room. The questions are:
1. Given the modest volume requirements I have for a sub and the small room it will be in, will the HSU provide significantly better sound.
2. Would the Paradigm subs be more musical with tighter bass do to their small size? If the HSU is the superior product I have no problem spending the extra dollars, but if smaller and less expensive would work just as well given my volume constraints then one of the Paradigms would be the way to go for me. Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Nick
