My ht is approximately 3696 ft^3. All openings in the room can be shut. I currently have a VTF-2. While I love this sub, it does not give me the impact in the chest during movies that I am looking for in this space. It used to in my smaller ht, but not in this one.
I have been looking at various options (i.e. vmps, svs, stryke diy, vtf-3...etc.), but the one intriguing me the most that seems to best fit into my budget level ~$650 is the upcoming HSU STF12. Dr. Hsu has emailed me stating that the STF12 is equal to the VTF-3 locked in max output mode. I have done exhaustive research on this site and others regarding the VTF-3 and it's different output modes. I have read in a couple of places that max output is the preferred mode over max extension for the VTF-3.
My questions for VTF-3 owners are:
1. Is max output really the preferred mode?
2. If the STF12 is in fact a VTF-3 in max output, will it fill my ht with the desired "slam effect"? (I will probably be using it along with my VTF-2)
FWIW, I do not listen to organ music.
Thanks.
