So I'm rebuilding my system and have all the components except for a sub. Receiver is a Pioneer VSX-D912-K and my satellites are Athena Point 5 MK II. I have no more than $700 to get a sub home and am looking for opinions. FWIW, I spend 95% of my time listening to music. I have looked heavily at both HSU Research and SVS subs. Both seem to be great. I have heard that the HSU subs (namely the VTF series) are better for music than SVS subs, but cannot personally confirm this. I live a mere 45 mins from the HSU Research facility so I plan to listen to them before making any decisions, but have no way to listen to any SVS subs as they are an internet-based company. I know every scenario is different and no one will be able to tell me what's best for me, but any and all suggestions/experiences about these subs and others are much appreciated.
