I used to be a Hsu dealer until they went (like quite a few high-end
manufactures) factory-direct about a decade ago. Hsu is a very good
product, although may not be the best value on the internet.

With the above being said, you might consider the Dayton T1503A as a better
value. At considerably under $1k, it is comparable in real-world
performance as the ULS-15 at more than twice the price. I guess you're
really just paying $1k for the finish with Hsu.

If finish a furniture grade wood or paint finish is at the top of your list,
you might consider a DIY system with a Dayton cabinet finished in Cherry,
Maple, or Gloss Black and adding the Dayton Titanic 15" and 1000-watt
amplifier (either as a separate or on-board) and you're still at half of the
Hsu if you like working with your hands.

I personally would rather spend more of the money on a highly regarded
minimonitor and stands and save on the powered subwoofer system. Feel free
to ask me my opinions on minimonitor recommendations or if I can be of any
assistance.

Sincerely,

I have to replace my current speakers and I am thinking of a
mini-monitor/subwoofer setup. The Hsu ULS-15 appears to have the most
bang for the buck plus Hsu Research, at least in the past, was highly
regarded. However, I have heard or read very little about the company
and its products in recent years and they don't actually have a dealer
network.
