I am thinking of buying the HSU STF-2 subwoofer since my very old Yamaha YST-SW60 sub really sucks, especially when the new THX flower intro played on Clone Wars. It sounded awful; most of the time it is fine, but I guess the THX demo was a little deeper than most of my blu-ray discs. Can someone tell me if the HSU STF-2 will be able to handle the new THX intro? I am not sure what frequencies it is trying to play, but I figure it is below the tuning frequency of the Yamaha (which lists a low frequency of 25Hz, upon further review, it is 10db down at this point).
Also, If I do go this route, can I hook up the Yamaha via the speaker inputs/outputs to my center channel and change it to LARGE on the AV receiver or would I be advised to just let the new subwoofer handle the center low output?
My other subwoofer choice to save money is one of those ebay specials, the PA-120, that I have read about so much. It does not seem like it plays as low or loud as the STF-2, but it is over $100 cheaper. Could it handle the THX intro?
If neither can, could I use a passive high pass filter like a Harrison Labs 12 db/octave? I thought of just slapping one of the 30 Hz modules on my Yamaha just to get me by without messing up the subwoofer.
