ML dynamo or HSU STF-2

[hitnbombs28]

I just bought a ML Dynamo at BB for $350 and was wondering if I maybe better off with a HSU STF-2? I really like the Dynamo with music and it does pretty good with Modern warfare 2. Movies it seems OK although it hasn't been broken in yet as I've only had about 10 hrs of time on it. I'm probably gonna order the HSU and do side by side but my budget is limited right now to under $500 for a sub so I really don't want to pay the shipping to send the HSU back if i don't like it as much. I will be upgrading later to a larger deeper sub and keeping which ever one i have for the office and mostly music. Right now I'm in an apartment with a living room that is 11x12x9 and will be using it for 50/25/25 music/movies/games. I don't need anything that will wake the neighbors and bring the cops to my door and accuracy is more important to me than going really low as i know i can't have both at my price point. any thoughts?

I think you will find that the HSU digs a bit deeper and a little more SPL, but they will have similar characteristics.

No one has any other opinions or comparisons of the 2...any ideas as to something better under $500? I know the STF-2 goes a bit deeper but is it as accurate as the ML or does it totally blow the dynamo away. Any body heard either one or maybe even both?

I haven't owned/used the Dynamo, but I can say the STF-2 is pretty tight sounding to my ears. It's certainly one of the best sounding subwoofers I've had the pleasure of owning; I wish I still had it.
