Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs

Hello all - was wondering if anyone can recommend a sub pairing that is commensurate with my Harbeth 40.3 XDs ...? I love it loud. Looking for tight , punchy thump from the kick drum that sounds like arena PA ...🥳 

my system : 

Manley Snappers , Manley Jumbo Shrimp Pre

 

Some of these Subs like the REL S/812 seemed kinda pricey....an Emminence $250 speaker in a shiny powered cabinet doesn’t seem worth $3200?

 

Thanks!

My room is smaller than yours and I’m using a Rel S/510 with my Reference 3A monitors. space permitting Id go with two of them. The Rel S Line is awesome, musical, fast and dynamic. It blew away the T-9X that it replaced.

Absolutely zero boom. Rel actually is spot on with their claim of it’s sonic characteristics .

good to know ....I have a cheaper SVS PB1000 & its not really focused at all, more of a HT kinda deal it would be ok ....you get what you pay for....
