Hello all!
FIrst off (this is literally my first post), thanks for all the awesome information here, I've been lurking for a while and really enjoying the threads on this whole board; you all seem like a pretty great group who really know their stuff.
I'm building my first non-craigslist sourced system, and I'm ready to pick out a sub.
So far I have a Denon 1912, 4 SVS SBS-02s and an SVS SCS-02 center. (if you haven't heard, SVS are having a pretty awesome sale right now).
As per the "So you want advice..." thread here are my details:
1. Budget - flexible the SB-12 is pretty much already over what I wanted/planned to spend - the HSU is looking good as a nice way to save $200.
2. Size Limit - The HSU is about as big as I would like to go. The SB-12 is ideal. I understand at this size I'm not going to get change-your-underwear chest smashing bass, but I'm hoping being a little more free with my budget will get me something I will enjoy (with a little UMPH for movie nights).
3. Room Size - I'm moving house soon, and am unsure as to the dimensions of the room my setup will be living fo the next year +, I would assume a pretty small room with 8 foot ceilings (moving to NY/Suburbs and living in an apartment).
4. Primary Uses - 50/30/20 movies/music/gaming.
5. Listening Habits - As we'll be in an apartment, we probably won't be at high volumes too often, as much as I would like anyway.
6. Appearance Requirements - the simpler the better, if it doesn't have to be shiny that's a plus.
7. Not in a HUGE hurry, but it would be nice to have it sometime in July.
From what I've read on my own, I've narrowed it down to the SVS SB-12 or the HSU VTF-1, but I am open to other suggestions. Any input would be greatly appreciated, I'm a big time newbie in this world.
For those who are interested, my previous system was $150 total, and was made up of:
$50 Bose Acousitmass 5
$50 Onkyo TX-SR502
$50 Sony sub (60w 8")
$0 Design Acoustics PS-24 Center Channel (found in apartment complex garbage room)
Thanks again!
