Subwoofer for Magnepan 1.6's

I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6's, connected to a McCormack DNA 1 amp and tlc1 preamp. Eventually I will be incorporating them into a surround system, using the Arcam AVR 300. I am looking for a good subwoofer to go with the Maggies. I have a small listening room 11 x 14 and don't like boomy bass. I have heard good things about the Rel 3 and Vandersteen subs.

Martin Logans also mate well with planars. Their subwoofers are also compact in size and can produce tight bass.
