I had them looking into a HSU package. http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/performance1.html I hadn't heard that either, but I have a Hsu subwoofer and have been very please with it. |

Not enough to give a true review or recommendation, but enough to know they blow the doors off an Acoustamas setup. Magnolia Home Theater inside Best Buy stores has them. They also have a few different small and inexpensive Def Tech set ups. If you've got one near you, check them out. The staff isn't the most knowledgeble and if your friend needs a little help, you may want to go with him. They've got a decent selection for this application. It may also be a way to introduce him to better stuff like Vienna and Martin Logan. They may not be his cup of tea, but at least he'll get an idea of why we pay more and are more picky. |

Gold Member Username: ChitownPost Number: 1373 Registered: Apr-05 | I agree with the Orb and did recommend it. It was outside of their price range. A little strange since somehow they thought Bose was worthwhile at that price Stu thanks for the heads up about Magnolia. I haven't walked into Best Buy so long, I don't even know what they carry any more. |
