Sub-Woofer?

I've got a 'classic' system; Rega Planar 3, Sonographe SC1 pre-amp, Counterpoint SA12 amp and Cabasse Galiote bookshelf speakers.

I'd like richer bass and am planning to add a REL sub-woofer. I am looking at a T5 on Ebay. Any thoughts on this? Good idea? Bad one?  any caveats?

All input appreciated!

Good Morning!

I like my little JL Dominion D108 Sub. if you're not looking for anything other than a bit more bottom end, it's a nice, solid little sub that won't break the bank. 

Depending on what new speakers I end up getting, I will either add a second one, or sell it because I won't need it anymore. Good Luck!

Using ESL speakers I needed to make sure any sub purchase would keep up with the speed of the speakers.  I recently ordered a pair of Rythmik servo F12Gs.  Couldn't be happier.

I cross them over at the bottom range of my speakers and I now have seamless integration that reaches into the teens. 

The subs arrived in less than a week after my order.  Two days of fiddling to get them right, and I now have exactly what I hoped for, bass without limits, no boom when it isn't called for, but full support when it is.  Symphonic classics are now a joy to behold.  Once you get concert hall realism nailed, jazz and rock fall right into place.

Regardless of what you pick, I do recommend getting two if you can.  They disappear this way.

I've become a 2 sub dude (subdude?) after touting the fact that one sub is fine, which it is. Now I think 2 is better, and I have to stop there as more would clog up my speaker posts (using REL high level connections only).
