Room Size: Currently less than 3000 cubic feet. This could change later on down the road at most something between 3k-4k cubic feet. I don't think it will ever be in a huge room. I like to listen to things fairly loud.
Possible combinations that were recommended to me: VTF-3 HO + MBM-12 VTF-3.3 x 2 LFM-1 Plus x 2 LFM-1 Plus x 1
Uhhh Yeah after talking to jan about too much power I want to repost my current room measurements. I think that definitely might be the wrong recommendations for my room. My TV is positioned at a diagnal viewing in the corner.
Height = 8 Width = 17 Length = 13 1768 Cubic Feet is about right.
It is a very nice setup. Dr Hsu is very good with his recommendations. I've had occasion to speak with him several times. Hsu subs are excellent values and you really can't go wrong. The website shows that new Mk3 VTF 2 has serious output at an unbelievable price. Your room is very similar to my living room (which in my small home is also the listening room) which is 18x14x8. The old VTF 2 shook this house so the new one would be scary.
I owe it to the members on this forum. I have received great advice from such knowledgable folks such as yourself. I originally went down a different path and with some steering and weeks of research I found a system more suitable to my own liking. Ended up being way more money than I originally anticipated but hey what the hell we only live once and we can't take the money with us!
I still feel pretty clueless but I plan on setting up the system myself and reading the manuals a few times until I feel pretty confident and know my system inside and out. To me that is the fun part. I have been around electronics all my life but mostly computers (I custom build them for myself every few years or so). I never really had a passion for audio until recently.
