I believe that I've reached the decision that a sealed sub is the best
choice for me. Reading the single review that the Adire site provides I see
it mentions that the SE version of the Rava may be a better choice for a
system like mine (5 Ascend Acoustics cbm-170's/Onkyo tx-sr700). I question
if I need the extra signal processing features of the SE. I am curious if
stepping up to the SE price point would bring better alternatives into the
picture. $600 is the upper limit to what I am willing to spend for my first
sub.

I am aware of the HSU VTF-2 and that it is actually paired with the Ascends
as a package. I have a preference for music listening and I feel like a
sealed model will be a better choice.

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me
