I am considering the HSU VTF 2, HSU STF 2 and the Velodyne CHT 10 or 12. All
are in the range of $400 to $500. My room is 12" by 18" with my kitchen
behind it. I will use the sub 75% for music and 25% for Home theater. My
speakers are bookshelf Paradigm reference studio 20's. I am looking for a
tight punchy bass as opposed to a loud or booming type of bass. Am I better
off with Velodyne or HSU.

Thanks

All are excellent. I'd go for one of the Hsu units, simply on the
basis of price.

The Hsu VTF-2 in max output mode would be the better choice. Based on the
size of your room with wide opening to your kitchen, you may want to
consider a larger sub if your music is played at high levels.

One option would be to buy and if not satisfied, trade up for a larger
model. Another option is to buy the STF-2 and if it is just adequate, add a
second STF-2 later.
