Hi

I'm trying to convince my wife we need a SVS PCi 25-31 or 20-39 to replace the polk psw 404 that could not fill the room 16 x 30

She will go with the hsu sft-3, but the svs pb1-isd is out as the picture looks like it wont match my existing polk rti10's

Now i would like to get the 20-39 for the same price, but from the pictures I cannot tell if you can put some plant/something else ontop of it.

Thanks
Equipment:
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR601
Fronts: Polk RTi10's
Center: Polk Csi40
Rear: noname
Subwoofer: SVS 20-39 PCi One day
DVD: looking for better one

    Yes...

    But u will need to put about 4 rubber bands under the base of the plant to keep it from walking off on you :D

    Wait a second, a Cylinder subwoofer -- hmm, I dunno about that. It may restrict air flow. I wouldn't do it...

    If you could get a box subwoofer, yeah....

    Box, yes, cylinder no, easy as that.

    Thanks, I think I will neglect to mention that to my SO, and once it arrives will try out "Opps honey, but nothing can go ontop of it"

    Hopefully the next words are not from her "Well pack it up, i'm not having that in the family room"

    The STF-3 comes in black, as does the PB1-ISD. And they are about the same dimensions and weight. What is it in particular about the PB1-ISD (soon to be dubbed the PB12-ISD) that makes it unsuitable?

    From the pictures on the website it looks more like the PB1-ISD has some gray speckle in it. And the HSU looks plain black.

    After having the polk 404 which matched the speakers exacly, I am having trouble getting wife to accept anything that does not match exactly.

    The pb1 is solid black, No speckles....... The hsu's look basically the same don't they?

    Sounds like your better half may just not like audio in the family room, do you have another room to deticate :) to HT?

    Since she's already given you the thumbs up for the Hsu STF-3, what's the problem? Just buy it. If she ever complains about how it looks, just remind her that it was her decision.
