They sort of fade into the background like furniture, so black makes them not stick out. I think it looks nice in a lot of setups. Keep in mind that the veneer of the HSU and Sierra speakers may not match exactly and that might drive you even more insane than just having black subs.
I think HSU has a lot going for them in terms of value and output. Everyone is always wowed at his presentations. SVS just has great marketing, I don't see much value in their subs. They are a bit overpriced for what they are. DIY guys can make subs that sound as good or better than SVS for less than half the money. PSA is even more overpriced, IMO
I think the benefits of direct servo subs far outweigh the bigger subs you listed. They're able to do a lot more with what they have and the incredible dynamics and quick transient response match the Sierra Towers really well.
Lot of bias going on around here lately...for something as subjective as speakers and sub...maybe time to move on from this forum...wow.
