Hello HSU family...hope everyones Holidays were great!

Got a question, I currently own 2 VTF2-MKIII's and in the next few weeks plan on either getting 2 more to even things out or maybe a MBM (or 2) instead.

My current room I use for our HT is not big...it's 11'x24'x8'...we are planning on moving in the next few years to a bigger house and will have my own dedicated HT room! Right now the two VTF's are great but would like to go for the gold...lol! I am just not sure if I should go with the VTF's or should I dable in the MBM units? Right now I have the VTF's in Max Output since I like that a bit better sounding than the Max Extension mode. I was thinking if I get a MBM and place it near LP and then keep my two VTF's in Max Extension up front where they are currently would this offer a better overall sound or would keeping with more VTF2-MKIII's be fine and set two at Max Extension and the other twoat Max Output?

Also, can the Turbo Boxes be installed on the VTF2-MKIII's? And if so, are these still available from HSU?

Enclosed is pics of my current setup....

That's a tough call Stu. Since you are planning on having a dedicated home theater in the future where you may need to get great results across a wide variety of seats, it will probably be most straightforward to just add two more VTF-2 MK3's. The MBM-12 MK2 does sound great though, and if you want to optimize for 1-3 seating positions, then a pair will be really nice.

Sincerely,
