Hsu or yamaha sub?


I've been looking for a reasonably priced sub to match with my Thiel CS.5's. I don't want to spend a lot of money, yet I don't want to sacrifice quality.
The VTF-2 and Yst-800 seem to be the two hot subs for $500 or less.
Has anyone matched these to a quality pair of speakers for a stereo setup? How did they sound? Any suggestions would be helpful.
I plan on connecting this sub to my preamp out on my Arcam Alpha9.
Thanks!

I would get the HSU. Another decent new under $500 subwoofer is the Monitor Audio ASW-110.

Used you might find a REL Q100E or Stratus II for a little over $500.
