Room Assistance Sub woofer

I'm building my system slowly and trying to pay attention to value and looks (need to high wife acceptance factor).

Looking for a sub to fit a ~20'X15' hardfloor, hardwalls/windows, high ceiling room with a focus on music over home theatre booms. Currently have Paradigm Millinia 300's for the record player.

Anyone have suggestions for subs below about $800 new or used?

possibilities:
Hsu VTF2MK3 (VTF3 is too big)
REL T2

comments on these, my situation or others?

I use Rythmiks. Nice cabinet, excellent performance, resonable size, reasonable price. I would always recommend digital room correction (I use the Velodyne SMS-1 for this) if you're adding a subwoofer. The improvement from DRC is pretty striking.

Well, for my 2 cents...
I have found Velodyne, reliable, affordable, and above
all, they blend evenly into any application.
I have seen the F-1500 for $350, that is All you need.
Flat to about 15hz.

I use 1 along with a 18" Velodyne, and another 15" Velodyne.

Listen for yourself, remember the CHT-15, it stomped all
the others, like +6db more output, for one thing.
Check out the review. Even the Bag End, fell short, of
the Velodyne.

$800 you should be able to score a great deal.

Be patient, be ready, they go fast.
