    Oh, BTW, HSU and Carver/Sunfire also use TC Sounds drivers like SVS does.
    Just the Ultras and 10"ISD and not for much longer.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)

    For music, I'm very satisfy with the SRS but I need more Oomph for movies. :D

    SVS subs are designed and tuned for HT first and foremost, with the primary goal being towards maximum extension and output, although plugging the ports, can help change this somewhat.

    Which just so happen to be the models I currently have. ;)

    It does beg the question though, how much longer till the others also try to follow suit? :p

    Word on the Ultra is that they are working on it...improving it so that it's significantly better than the new 12.3 driver is a difficult objective to achieve. The 10" ISD may not be improvable, it's really on a par with the 12" 12.2 plus driver.

    As far as others go...if you mean competitors...I don't really think bringing the drivers back in house was timed to coincide with anything Hsu's trying to accomplish. This was a decision reached long ago. They didn't want to go overseas and couldn't find a domestic partner that could deliver what they ultimately needed and so decided to do it themselves.
