Hey everyone, I have done quite a bit of research regarding adding a powered sub to my speaker setup. Currently I am using a Maverick Audio A1 connected to a pair of Cambridge s30's. I absolutely love how they sound but coming from an old Logitech 2.1 with an 8" sub I think its only natural to want a little more punch. Basically I have narrowed it down to a 10" as I think a 12" will overpower and lack the clarity I desire. This setup will be used primarily for music with an occasional movie. I was originally looking to purchase the psw505 from Polk but decided it was overkill for a 2.1 system.
So far my search has led me to:
Polk Audio psw110: While right in my price range, despite the great reviews on amazon I have read very mixed opinions when being used primarily for music.

Polk Audio psw111: A little bit more expensive than the 110 but allegedly much more crisp for music (also the same price point as the hsu sub)

HSU stf-1: seems to get a lot of praise from pretty much anyone who owns on. Made in the USA, but a little more expensive than the psw111 when shipping is factored in.

Anyone have any first hand experience with any of these? Can anyone throw some other options out there? Both the psw111 and the stf-1 will be stretching my budget by a small margin that's why I really like the price point of the psw110. Thanks in advance for any help!
