Small quality HiFi subs reaching 22Hz

Any recommendations for good small subs to support ported monitors reaching 40Hz. Just aquired pair of System Audio SA2K monitors, and would like something nice to reach low 20's.

Mainly listen to a full spectrum of jazz (includes "fusion"), classical, movie scores, and ambient electronic music.

Sub won't require much amplification to match monitor output.

Thanks in advance,

Frank

It would be very helpful if you start by giving us your definition of "small". Also a general price range.

Sdcampbell,

You're right. 8"-10" driver in a 12" cube (approx), with 200-400 watts. Pricing = $1200-ish?

What is your idea of "small"?

There are only a few of ways to recreate real low frequencies - high cabinet volume, high cone excursion, and gobbs of power.

Accurate "Low 20's" is going to to take a lot of all three. I would be very, very, leery of any small subwoofer claiming to reach into the 20's accurately. Hell, it takes a lot EQ'ing and power for large subs to do so without massive distortion.
