DNicely1,

Sounds like we're in similar positions. I also considered an SVS (25-31 PCi), along with a Hsu (STF-3), but settled on the LMF-1. Just ordered it last night.

I currently have a little JVC sub that I pilfered from my wife's shelf system, so I'm hoping for a huge improvement. We'll have to compare notes.

Cheers!
