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.

I'm new to the Audiogon forums, but I too have a sub situation.  I currently have an SVS SB2000 running with my MA Silver 8s (Emotiva XSP-1 pre/XPA-2 amp).  Was planning to grab a second SB2000 but now thinking about upgrading to the SVS Ultra 13 and pairing it with my current SB2000...honestly I'm not sure what is best.  I primarily listen to large scale symphonic works (e.g. Bruckner, Mahler, etc.) so I'm not sure the SB2000 is really cutting it.  I have a pretty ungainly listening space: 24x12x15 ceiling.  This is not a "forever home" but non the less where I am now.  Any thoughts?

Sorry, I suppose it boils down to if dual SVS Ultra 13s are worth the extra cost over dual SB2000s...for a classical music application.

I think a 2nd SB2000 would do the trick. It would not be a good idea to use two different subs!

REL - full stop.

I used to have twin REL G2 subs (one in each corner at the front). My friend, who conducts orchestras and is far more knowledgeable on classical music, was impressed enough with my system that he bought twin REL G2 subs as well.
I have since upgraded to the new No25 model and plan on adding a second one when funds permit.
