New member Username: SrexyPost Number: 1 Registered: 12-2003 | Just picked up an HSU STF2 from CompUSA (of all places) for $350. I realize it is a new model for them and consequently doesn't have many reviews yet but I was wondering if anyone has any comments vs the VTF2 which seems to be universally acclaimed for budget subwoofery. As background - I have a NAD T742 pushing 5 Polk Audio RM II series satellites so there isn't much in the way of low frequency coming from them. I haven't had a chance to tune the STF2 yet but am not convinced that it is the right choice for my setup anyway. Anyone care to comment? |

New member Username: MichaelslbPost Number: 1 Registered: 12-2003 | Rex and Paul, The STF-2 is basically just a VTF-2, minus the variable tuning feature of the VTF line. ...I would expect the STF-2 to sound VERY simlar to the VTF-2 when tuned in Max Extension mode. Hope that helps! Michael |

New member Username: HeffPost Number: 11 Registered: 12-2003 | The Hsu Research VTF-2 has been out for a while and there are many reviews. IMHO, the STF is the value leader at $349.99. I'm tempted by the great value of the STF-2, but am holding out for the VTF-3 MK II which may be shipping next month. |
