I bought a HSU stf-2 today. Fall sale: 329 + shipping = $375.00
Main use will be HT and some music

1 STF-2 Powered
Subwoofer -
Black
$329.00
Subtotal: $329.00
Shipping: $46.00
Tax: $0.00
Total: $375.00

My first real subwoofer. After many hours of reading up on subs and going back and forth from HSU stf-2, vtf-1, vtf-2, Rythmic lv12R, PB-1000.

It finally came down to size, looks and price:

PB-1000: was 1 inch wider and I also didn't like the front screen, also $500 for a couple lower decibels
-I did like the warranty and almost bought this one and then changed my mind

Rythmic lv12R: was to expensive $630 shipped and 2 inches wider.

vtf-2: was too deep (23") and too expensive and I wasn't sure if the finish would be to shiny, also it weighs 80 lbs , ouch my back!

vtf-1: I decided I didn't need the extra flexibility of 2 ports... and if I didn't need that
then...

the STF-2 was the right price, right size, and I liked how it looked. Kind of an unassuming box. I like the idea of it not looking like a speaker so much. At least to me it doesn't look like a speaker. I know, I know...it isn't a speaker... it's a subwoofer. My first real subwoofer :)

Special thanks to "ImcLoud" and all who posted in my original thread

Correction... It only weighs 64 lbs. Not sure where I got 80 from.

I was at the San Jose flea market and stumbled upon a Hsu stf 2 in the box... asked the guy for a price and he told me 80 dollars. I still kick myself for walking away from that one.

That guy must have been kicking himself for letting it go for that price if he ever bothered checking what it was worth! Wonder where/how he got it!?
