HSU VTF-15H MK1 - How Much is it Still Worth?

[thxbest]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering how much you would pay for a used HSU VTF-15H MK1 in rosewood, in great condition. I know the VTF-15H MKII is much better, but what would be the maximum price you'd consider for the older version?

Thanks for any input!

With a sub mostly about what your local market will support. Might get an idea from sold/completed listings on ebay or specific audio sales sites. If you were local I might go 400 or so.

My rule of thumb for used is the price should be no more than about half of original street price. I’ll go higher with something fairly new and/ or in extra clean condition and / or had minimal use. The $400 @lovinthehd recommended sounds about right for a sub that age.

The original VTF-15h was a great sub and an interesting design. It didn't have the highest excursion driver but it had a very linear one with extremely low inductance. It got a lot of mileage out of the large enclosure and ports. It was actually a bit larger than the MKII.

Curious, why sell it at all? Going subless or ?
