Subwoofer with good monitors

Hello
I have monitors that goes down to 39Hz so I would like to add
Subwoofer just to reinforce the bass. I'm not looking for
Subwoofer that goes to 16Hz or 18Hz. I would be O.K. with one
that goes to 25Hz. Also, I really don't want to use external
crossover. Would REL R305 do the job or Velodyne DD10 so I
can use built in crossover. My room is 17' x 11.5' x 9'.
Thanks in advance on Yours opinions.

Stay away from THX subs for music.They tend to have a peak around 80 hz or so,for more movie impact.SVS,Hsu,have good value subs.There's a lot of good competition nowadays.

FWIW, I recently added an REL B3 to my Aerial Acoustic 5B monitors (60Hz to 22kHz ±2dB, -8dB at 50Hz) powered by a 50w Jolida 302, and found the integration very easy and extraordinarily musical. It's lots of fun and worth exploring IMHO.

Look into the Omega Deep Hemp Sub. This sub was designed as a music only sub to work with the omega line of fast full range single driver speakers. The sub is an 8" hemp driver that reaches down to the mid 20hz range. It will work well with all loudspeakers. I had a pair and wished that I didn't have to sell them. Very,very,very musical!

Jl Audio Fathom F-110 would be something you should look at.

What part of the country do you live? You should always try to hear the sub in your own system if you have a dealer/manufacturer that will accommodate. I may be able to help.
