Elemental Design A5-300 vs HSU VTR3 MK3

[omegamaulers]

Intro pricing on the HSU seems to be pretty good but the price on the Elemental Design is even better. Anyone have either one of these subs?? Any feedback on these would be appreciated. The ED has a 500 watt amp vs 350 for the HSU Weight on the ED is 120 lbs I believe the HSU is 90 or more. ED seems to be a newer company so is there a quality difference between the two that I may not be aware of??

thanks

Someone did get the A5-300 and is pleased. I suggest PM him for details.

HSU is a known quantity with years of experience in the sub industry, I would suggest you go with them. ED is new to home audio and looks promising, but there are no real reviews.

I agree with Henwong, another option to weigh is if you want the look of a wood veneer or truck bed lining in your livingroom.

omegamaulers,
I know eD has a 30 day money back trial time, and would assume the same for the HSU. Why not order both, do a comparo of your own, and return the one that you decide doesn't measure up....then tell us about it! :)

If true sounds like a good idea :cool:

Recently picked up a ED A5-300. Nice tight and clear bass, not muddy at all. Upgraded from a Polk PSW10, so I had to turn the gain down. :D
