What mix of movies to music would you say? 60/40? 90/10? Are you looking for maximum sound pressure level that rattles your guts, or just accurate, solid, quality bass? Prefer a microsub or will any size do?

I run dual Def Tech 15's but I am going to be changing them out later this year to something else so I'll be following your thread.

SVS rocks. Really well built and are known for playing as low as the specs say. My friend just picked up their dual-12 "Plus/2" and it is a ferocious beast, yet smooth and tame when you need it to be. Clearly the best sub I've heard in the last year for HT without totally breaking the bank. Velo's are superb and usually handle music very well, but I don't know about that exact model. Servo-controlled subs are very cool. Nice to see Outlaw on your list! Major respect for what that company is doing for price/performance. Haven't heard that LFM yet, only read good reviews of it.

Might want to also check out REL and Sunfire to see if they have anything that fits your requirements and budget. I have heard REL several times and was really impressed. Sunfire is somewhat legendary I guess you could say.

Have you checked out AVS Sub Forum? lots of good insight. Also, some good info here where you will find the SVS engineers once in a while.

Good luck in your quest for the ultimate ear-gasm
