Hiya,
I currently have a HSU VTF3 MK2 I have been very happy with the unit until i was at a friend's house and i heard his sub. His sub was quick punchy and not boomy at all.
I spent the next week and a bit carrying my vtf3 around the room trying different locations, xover fidling recalibrating everything but no go.
I found the vtf3 very boomy in my room.
I was going to write this off as a bad room need treatment but before i went ahead i brought in a psb sub 5i which is also ported and not big enough for my room but alas i put it in the same location and the boom is gone... the sub is punchy and not boomy.
This got me thinking that maybe i should upgrade my sub to a different model...
I know this is a bad time to purchase a sub as lot of companies are releasing new subs... but i narrowed it down to the following:
- PSB 6i
- PSB HD10
- SVS SB12 Plus
- Paradigm sub 12
I have spent a few days reading and i know my choices are all over but here is my logic.
I found the 5i to be not bad but i would need probably 4 of them to fit my room (20x25). Running with Arcam receiver.. mostly for movies but i occasionally listen to music there as well.
I was thinking of overlooking the 6i mostly because it is ported and i think maybe the cause of the boominess in my current sub. I do live in a condo so i don't want earth shattering bass.. just accurate enough to enjoy the movies and music and it has to be accurate, fast and not boomy.
My friend whose sub i liked i did borrow it and it turns out to be a svs sb12 plus in rosenut which is a fantastic sub initially i put it in the same spot as my hsu and it has been great... not boomy at all.
Any comments and suggestions for me on the sub? Also note i don't want to shake the building just accurate quick non boomy bass.
thanks
