Subwoofer for classical music listener


This is my second post on the subject of subwoofers.
My first post wasn't specific enough.
I listen to classical music 90% of the time.
Are there any classical music listeners out there who have subwoofers?
if there are, could you let me know what you have?
i don't imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music, but I may be wrong.

For $1,000 & sealed sub(s), there's only 1 choice that makes sense IMO: the SVS SB-1000. It's a compact, powered, sealed 12" sub. I use one in my home office (where I have a relatively refined desktop audio system). It sounds very good and I only wish there was room for a second one.

With your speakers, you'd probably only want these dialed in at 50-60 Hz, tops. Because they're sealed, the bass doesn't go quite as deep as it would w/the ported version--but that's actually better, since the sealed design (in my experience) outputs more natural sounding bass.
Here's my 2 cents and it may just be worth that!
I've done a lot of research on subs and am an advocate of REL's. My system is dual purpose, 2-channel music and 5.5 channel home theater. When I say 5.5, meaning I have 5 subwoofers. A loudspeaker is only designed to generate frequencies to a certain level, typically around 40 Hz for floor standing and 60 Hz for quality bookshelf's. Therefore, why not allow every channel you have produce a full range from 20-20K? Anyone who does an A/B of a system with and w/o a sub quickly discovers something missing without the sub. We live in a full range world. If accurate reproduction of a musical performance is what we're after, then it's important to reproduce everything that was present during the original performance.
As far as REL's are concerned, they are integrated using a high level signal tapped directly from the speaker tap of the amp. This way the sub gets the signal at the same exact time and the same exact signature at the corresponding speaker. Setting the crossover and volume can be a bit tricky however, once set correctly, it's a seamless integration. You shouldn't hear your subwoofer. You should hear the system!
A subwoofer should cost roughly what a loudspeaker cost, or more! It's much more complex and it's the subwoofers job to integrate in the system, not the pre-amps or external crossover's!
I encourage anyone looking to buy a sub, to consider a REL. Don't just look at the pretty box, READ the technology behind it, how it's integrated, and why. Most other subs rely on the pre-amp's crossover or a separate external crossover. If buying extra gear to display is your thing, go for it. If you want a system that is truly integrated, synergistic, and sounds like its all "one" system, read about how the REL works....
I've found out the hard way that I'm extremely limited in what kind of subwoofer I can match to my NuForce class D monoblock amps.  If you've followed this thread you've read that the Vandersteen sub I bought was incompatible with my amps and could have damaged them.  (Thank goodness they're okay.)
Evidently I need a sub which can accept a "floating output" sub. I can't hook up subs to the same posts as the speakers use, which was the case with the Vandersteen.
I've  been told some REL models are compatible but I don't know which ones.
Does anyone know of any subs that are compatible with my type of amps.
People suggest I should change amps instead, but I'm really happy with how perfectly the NuForce amps match with my system.
I'm running a REI Stentor with my DALI Epicon 2's.  
It took me a while to dial it in.  Solo Harpsichord for some reason would always expose if I did not have it accurately dialed in.  This holds true for my DALIs and my previously owned Dunlavy SCIVs.
Once properly integrated, besides what a subwoofer does for piano, Janacek and Stravinsky, it really brings in the 'hall' of the recorded venue and more 'wood' from wood based instruments if that makes any sense.
