After this review came out, I stumbled across a thread on the HTF site.

I find it odd that everyone labels the LFM-1 as simply a re-badged HSU STF-3. I know they are very similar designs by Dr. Hsu himself, but the amp is obviously different, and Steve has stated that the driver is also different.

After seeing a comparison of the PB1-ISD against the STF-3 on another board, I was set on getting the SVS unit. However, when gonk here compared the same ISD driver in the 25-35 PCi, he actually favored the LFM-1. I would like to believe that all things considered, the LFM-1 would slightly best the STF-3. Of course this is all subjective, and I'm still immensely satisfied with my decision to get the Outlaw sub.
