HSU STF2 vs VTF2?

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?

I've been kicking around getting a new sub for my Paradigm Studio/NADT752 setup and have narrowed my picks to these two also.. Reasons:size and price..

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

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.
