Rhyno,
Rhyno, I'm curious to learn, how much listening time you've had with the Von Schweikert S/3 sub?
EAD used the S/3 at there CES exhibit 2 shows ago to great effect,,, for both music and video. The reviews were exceptional.
I'd wager you've spent no more than 15 minutes with the S/3,, and then,, you probably had your mind made up before you sat down for a listen. I'm also curious to learn where you auditioned the S/3 since Houston has only one VS dealer,,, and as I recall, you listened to the VS HT array, incl the S/3 just a few minutes, before auditioning my VR5 HSE's in 2 channel.
Your response above concerning the Von Schweikert S/3 subwoofer should not be taken as serious and experienced audiophile feedback. The S/3 sub is superb IMHO and I've lived happily with mine over the last 2 years.
I'd suggest, if you are in the hunt for a sub, listen to the S/3's yourself. Von Schweikert has a 90 day "if not satisfied" return policy on their products. You've got nothing to lose! A new smaller VS sub will be launched soon,,, smaller package 12"x12"x12" with a 10" downfiring woofer in a beautifully finished enclosure. Much less expensive than the S/3, it offers terrific value at it price point.
