I use a Velodyne DLS-R 3750 and absolutely love it. Never tried the Polk but the Velodyne quality is really nice.

Velodyne all the way.

I HAVE the Velodyne DSP 12 - AWESOME sub. I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING!

tks. in advance

set it to the classical (flat/standard) mode and forget it. The other DSP settings are jokes. Welcome to Club Polk.

How would either sub compare to a $300ish entry Hsu (ie VTF), eD, or SVS sub?

[aaharvel]

most here would go with the HSU or SVS over Velodyne/anything else. I've heard neither, so I wouldn't know.

exactly, the other settings make the sub sound way too boomy. Also, the volume buttons on the front is a joke. All you have is a flashing light to tell you how loud it is.

I just picked up this sub and so far it's pretty good. My question is which input should I use from the receiver to the sub? I have a single sub output(rca) from my receiver but my sub has two rca inputs for right and left, which makes no sense to me as its a sub. I guess if I use the RCA inputs I will have to pick up a single rca to double cable. Either way I am wondering if one is better sound quality over the other? the Speaker level input or the line input? thanks.

I own the HSU VTF-1 which is a bit more than your budget but if it's an indicator of the other subs then you won't be disappointed at all. My HSU VTF-1 sub is very musical and has wall rattling bass with practically zero (false) boom unless you are in another room.

but if it's an indicator of the other subs then you won't be disappointed at all. .

?????..what does that mean?

I meant if the cheaper HSU subs sound close to as good as the HSU VTF-1 then he won't be disappointed with a cheaper one...ie the HSU STF-1 which is closer to original posters price range.

How are the Hsu STF...anyone use them?
