Over the years I've slowly been upgrading my theater room and working on the wife
. I'm at the point where I've moved into a nice 11'x20'x7' dedicated room with low budget 7.1 speakers: L/R Dayton Towers T652, Dayton center, Dayton 1200 sub, sinclair bipolar surrounds and cheap sony for surround backs. I'm currently making and placing acoustic panels throughout the room (already a nice improvement with only 3 panels up).
My wife gave me the go ahead to spend some more money and I really want to buy a nice subwoofer. So, with all that said, budget wise thinking 500 to 900. Initially I like the outlaw ultra12, but then after reading reviews it sounds like the HSU is in a different league, so then I start thinking, okay, go big or go home, so now I'm looking at the VTF 15h which is on clearance. Now I hear HSU has an upgrade (MK2) and that it's worth the money, but is it if the prior model is on clearance?
Lately I've also been reading that people like the PSA models, or at least it's being brought up more frequently...
I've also thought about the SVS but I kinda like how big the HSU is based on an image search (go big or go home
.
Question (finally): So, what is the answer? Again, coming from the dayton sub (which has been great btw), is there a huge difference between the HSU and outlaw? And if so, is there a big difference between the HSU 15 MK2 vs the clearance 15? Lastly, what about these PSA subs? Are they better? Not sure I like the one port option though...but maybe it's better?
Oh, and last thing...will it work to use both the dayton 1200 and my new sub when I get it? Suppose it can't hurt to try...just hate to see a nice subwoofer not being used. I have a Yahmaha receiver (not sure which model, bought it used for cheap) that has 7.2 hookups.
