musical sub

I need to improve my system with a compatible sub for my system as it has evolved so far. My primary concern is the musicality, although Home Theatre is important, it is not as important as the music enjoyment. We watch a lot of music dvd's and play lots and lots of CD's, and of course third is the home theatre.

For reference, the main pieces of my system so far are:

McCormack HT5 amp (5 channel)
Anthem D2 processor w/ Arc
B&W Nautilus series 804 fronts, HT2 ctr, SCM surrounds
McCormack UDP1 disk player (the upgraded model)
Dennon 3800BDI blu ray player
etc.

What I am looking for is something that will add to the system, is very musical, and that will survive eventual component upgrades as I learn more and refine the sound.

Any suggestions on the sub? (or equipment)

Thanks

The F Series Velodyne 15" and 18" and the FSR 18", HGS 15" and 18", ALL are very musical sub-woofers.

I am not as familiar with the other models,IMHO, these are
as good as ANY of the other brands, for the same price, and
often for less money.

Most people fail to integrate the sub-woofer with the mains,
so the sub. is OVER playing, the ideal sub. should not be
present when the music is played.

I LOVE MY MUSIC!

I also vote for JL and REL. SVS makes a decent sub for the money.

I too use JL. Strength is that the sub has so many different options for settings, you can really get it to integrate rather seamlessly.

I truly feel you would have to get up pretty early in the morning to come close to the Vandersteen 2WQ Subwoofer Made right here in USA.
We have successfully blended these units in many different
rooms with all types of speakers from Magies to Monitor types.
The 2WQ is a sealed system which offers superb in room response, zero Bass hangover when compared to ported designs,and a Sophisticated high Pass that allows your whole system to achieve greater clarity realism and transparency.
