Great to see the HSU offerings expanding! What room size (cubic foot volume) would this sub support?

I'm still saving up for a VTF-15H based set - our main room is part of an open concept main floor - about 4000 cu ft

Room A - 1620 cu. ft (9ft ceilings) + stairwell to upper floor (~20 ft high)
Room B - 2475 cu ct (11 ft sloped cielings)

Hi PR@J

I would basically keep around the same estimates on our site (3000 cu ft). Though that's a very basic guidelines as there are many other variables that determine which sub would work best. We've had people that had a VTF-15H in a 2500 cu ft room and felt they needed two to meet their output needs and we've had ones that had an STF-2 in a 6000 cu ft room and that was enough for them. It just depends on your listening preferences, placement, openings, etc. Do you have a room diagram for both of those rooms?
