which subwoofer?

I am looking for a musical sub for a small room(11.5x15x8), my speakers are Meadowlark kestral 2's, a Birdland odeon lite dac and a Cayin ta-3o integrated tube amp. For the price of all of it used, this system is incredibly musical and rich in the high's and mids...but lacks that bit of deep punch I like. Is there a sub made that will integrate with my existing equipment without losing anything. I would like to keep the price under a 1000$ used, thanks in advance!

The ACI Force is wonderful. Fast and very musical. Great for a smallish room

I will second the Vandersteen 2wq. It would blend seemlessly with the Kestrels using an 80hz first order filter into your amp inputs as described for the Vandersteen sub. This would serve to open up the Kestrel's and give you an HONEST low end. If you are looking for a rumble box, stay away from the Vandy sub. It is an extremely accurate reproducer that is not for everyone. I think, if I remember correctly, that the Kestrel's are a first order design with transmission lines. A perfect fit for the 2wq.

Vandersteen 2wq with Model 5 crossovers!

I think you should be able to get a Velodyne DPS-10 in that price range. A DD-10 would be even better, of course.

Did you look at the Meadowlark subwoofer? I would only imagine a sub built from the same manufacturer would integrate reasonably well?
