Hey mij, thank for the suggestions. The LS50’s did not make the cut back then and got returned. I have upgraded considerably from that system and now have much better equipment running B&W 805ds and a single REL S/5. Conceptually I like the speakon connection that REL uses and it works to my liking, i.e., I don’t know the sub is there until it gets turned off. I took a look a JL before I bought the REL and it was boomy to my ears. I’m sure better set up would have helped, but, it was a high end shop that prepared for me to come listen to the sub, so didn't question that.
I set up my sub to sound the way I like it based on the on the bassiest of music I typically listen to and then just leave it alone. Rock is always lean on bass. Jazz, techno, and electronica typically sound awesome.
Two subs are better than one of course, however, I will live with one sub for as long as I can as two required more money, more space and more cables.
