i tought i would upgrade from a 12incher and knowing this hsu isnt even recommended for HT i will return it.............i dont care i will pay the shipping twice....
lol. ouch. hsu just lost a customer who didnt audition himself.... because of a review!
but yes, a high fs, high sensitivity driver probably isnt 'the best choice' for the gut wrenching low bass in movies but also consider what you paid. like i said though, you need to try it in a different port tuning. two ports open might give the best output but one port will give you improved extention.
I still think you need to give it a shot in YOUR hanfs. if it outperforms the paradigm then for output you would still be very well off buying a second for 900. two HSU 15s with the low tuning should still outperform a single of the other subs by my guess.
it is still going to work well for HT... i'd assume better than what you're coming from... just not as well as the other, more expensive subs in this shootout. you need to give it a shot yourself to make the conclusion whether it's enough. for me 'enough' would be some LMS-5100 open baffle dipole subs crossed to an infinite baffle thigpen rotary or two but your kilometrage may very well vary.
