I have just recently gotten all new speakers and AVR. I decided on something smaller as far as the speakers go, I went with Monitor Audio Radius 180's. I'm a little concerned that my Polk psw10 won't be able to give me the bass that I'm going to need with this set up. My room is 12x17x8 and it will be used 70/30 HT/music. I'm considering the following subs Epik Legend, HSU VTF-1 MK2/HSU STF-2 or Elemental A2 or A3 10". Any advantages or disadvantages over each other? Any other brand or model that might suit my needs better? Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks

    I think that Epik Legend is a great value and good for both music and HT.

    I would suggest Outlaw Audio subs.

    I graduated from the Polk 505 to outlaw LFM-1 EX and its a huge improvement in all ways. They have a smaller version LFM-1 PLUS for $549

    if you are thinking of buying VTF1-MK2. HSU has a sale going on VTF2-Mk4 for $ 519, I would say buy that instead, it goes lower than VTF 1-Mk4.
