Peter, I certainly appreciate that you didn't try the hard sell. too much of that elsewhere anymore. If I do upgrade it will most likely be new from HSU directly. in hindsight that's probably what I should have done 3 months ago. in any case I will enjoy my current VTF-2 for at least a couple of more months. The new VTF-2 Mk 3 would probably make the most sense in my room and current set-up.
Mojave. thanks for that table! I think maybe I now know why some might think that the Mk 1 is better. its probably the Class A/B amp vs the BASH. However I believe the signal quality difference is too little and the freqs too low to be discernable PLUS the BASH is soooo much more efficient with the greater headroom. its a no-brainer really. I also like that the Mk 3 has better specs but am concerned that it might be at the expense of accuracy at the higher frequencies. like 40-80Hz range as my receiver's minimum cross-over is 60Hz. My other choice would be to get a different receiver and cross-over at 40 or 50Hz. My current main speaker (Infinity Reference Sixes) have an in-room FR (according to REW) down to 26Hz before starting to drop-off (the published specs say 35Hz) so they definitely could handle such a low freq x-over. Anyway thanks for the info.
EDIT: Oh, and I just wanted to add, I've noticed HSU subs do seem to have very high resale values. and that always helps when its time to upgrade.

'Audioholics Top AV Gear Guide for 2015: High End Value Pick: HSU VTF-15H MK2' 'If you don't mind a huge box and your goal is the most possible output and extension from an affordable sub, you would be hard pressed to beat the HSU VTF-15H MK2 sub. We reviewed the first version of the sub which did very well in our testing.
- 1⁄2˝ of insulation from each end of the wire to expose the bare metal. If your speaker wire is fray-ing, tightly twist the metal. Unscrew the plastic hex nut on the binding post to insert the exposed wireinto the hole. Tighten the binding posts by hand. Run the wires from your system’s amplifier to the subwoofer’s HIGH LEVEL INPUTS.
- Jan 03, 2019 The kitchen has two doorways leading to a second living room and dining room. My plan was to add a 2nd vtf 2.5 later in the year but now I'm wondering if they would be inadequate. HSU recommends dual VTF 3 MK 5. Since I'm over the initial 30 days, they offered to accept a return with a 15% restocking fee and I'd be responsible for the shipping.
VTF-2 MK5 Subwoofer
Once again we are giving you even better bang for your buck - the new MK5 has vastly improved performance, AND still cost less! |
With the new VTF-2 MK5, we have vastly improved the performance over the MK4 while lowering its price!
Marvell sata driver windows 10. With the MK5, we have made it a front firing design. It now comes with rubber feet to help eliminate any issues with feet buzzing against a hard floor.
As with all our current VTF series subwoofer, it has hybrid tuning, variable Q, and sealed operating modes – making this one of the most flexible subwoofers we have offered to date, catering to virtually any audiophile’s preferences. Parallels 11 for mac.
Harnessing the unique Variable Tuning Frequency port technology (VTF), each port uses the air generated from the long throw woofer to dramatically boost the deeper frequencies. The VTF-2 MK5 succeeds down to a very deep 18 Hz with one port open (in maximum extension mode).
The reason for variable tuning is that all subwoofer designs, especially consumer-level subwoofers, involve tradeoffs in design. You cannot have a small subwoofer that goes very low, plays very loud and costs very little. Traditionally, the engineer decides what tradeoff he or she thinks is best for the consumer. The consumer has to take it or leave it.
The VTF-2 MK5 changes all that. It allows you, the user, to choose the tradeoff. If you enjoy music that is loud but does not have much deep bass, set the VTF series for maximum output. That way, you get maximum dynamic range with the lowest distortion. If you like music with deep bass, set it for maximum bass extension to reproduce the deep bass accurately. You can even switch between the two modes depending on what you play. That means effectively you get a subwoofer that can play loudly, and can play low, all in one, at a reasonable price!

'The HSU VTF-2 Mk5 subwoofer is truly a 'True Subwoofer'. I get in-room response down to 25Hz before it starts to roll off. But, it not only goes deep. It is the antithesis of a one-note bass. The bass is tuneful and I am thrilled with it in my otherwise all-Magneplanar surround sound system. The price is extremely good for the quality of the speaker and provides extreme value.'— Ron 'I just got my HSU VTF-2 MK4 sub in today and had all evening to play around with it. I love this thing!! It hits lower than my Polk PSW505, and it seems effortless in comparison. I like how tight and accurate the notes can hit. This has been a great investment for my home theater.
Most people buy new audio gear for use with music or movies. I tend to play games a lot more, but I believe that great audio equipment is just as important when it comes to getting the most out of a games soundtrack. Mass Effect 3 sounds so much better with my HSU providing the low frequencies.
Thank you, Dr. HSU, for an amazing product line! I will be back for more in the future! '
