Need sub recommendations for vr4 jr's


Hope this is the right place for this thread... no listing for subs elsewhere, especially for stereo use...

I have a pair of VR4 JR's. ..and a Velodyne CT10 sub... I know the sub can be improved upon and that is my aim shortly. I can spend around $1000, new or used doesn't matter to me... I'd prefer runing two, I 'think'... wich means another $1000... later.

My idea is to gain a sub for stereo - music... I'm thinking Velodyne once more but a 12 or 15 SPL R or higher.. and perhaps TWO 12'S... but dont' really know

I'm running the little 10 via the line inputs right from the preamp... with no crossover that way it runs up to 200 hz... and actually I like the extra lift to the music the increased freq range gives... never having a REAL DECENT/GOOD sub though, perhaps I'm listening wrong...

the room is just under 14 wide, and right at 20 long, with two openings into hallways that will eventually be closed offf with the addition of doors of some type ... so not entirely closed offf yet, but wil be.

Please help, and thank you very much for sharing your experience...

I have a REL Storm III and ended up taking it out of the 2-channel setup after a couple of months with my 4jrs. I loved it with my previous bass shy speakers, but with the jr's they just sounded better w/o it. There was more bass with the sub obviously, but when switched off the resulting bass sounded cleaner and faster.
ACI -- Force and Titan
Axiom -- EP-500 or the lower models
HSU -- several models avail.
Definitive Technology -- Supercube I, II & II subs
. . . that's all I can think of at the moment within your price range.
Most home audio subs dont perform well in the range that you wish to enhance. I would recommend passive live sound reinforcement or PA type bass systems. They excel at mid bass. Mackie and JBL come to mind. Check out www.sweetwater.com.
I do appreciate the info & experiences... the additional range I seek may well be attended to as we speak... via power cords at several locations... I've a noticeable presence there now... also in some tube replacements.

I suppose, given info from others I've met here having a non detented phase correction, switch, the ability to overcome or eliminate the crossover in the sub itself are important.... and IMO, a seemless integration with the JR's most important... funny I've not seen anyone mention good ol' Velodyne... or Bob Carvers offerings... they are certainly popular... one current REL owner says if he had to do it all over again he's go ACI... 'TITAN'...

Correct me if I'm wrong here... but I'd as soon run the thing in stereo off the RCA OUTS on my preamp... foregoing the additional speaker wire purchaseing... is that wrong? ...of am I missing something?
