Which subwoofer should I get?

@mwsl

For your speakers I would recommend avoiding subwoofers and letting them run as they are.

They have 3 x 9 inch woofers and response down to 25Hz driven by a robust powerful amplifier. Unless you want to high pass filter your main speakers (not recommended) the subwoofers will contribute little additional content. Be aware that subwoofer integrations are a compromise and will introduce cancellation and dynamic issues that critical music listeners can detect.  

the elac subwoofers are fantastic fast deep bass and an incredible app

the ds 1200 at 3k is a killer sub for the money

I have listened for many months to my system without a sub, and was able to listen to the system with the SVS home theater (ported bass) sub for about a month. There is no question that the subwoofer added a tangible sense of air and space to the experience. While I love my speakers (!!), I do think that adding a sub will be a positive add.

I also would be happy with two SVS SB-2000. I prefer sealed subs for music. Less bloat not using a port, tighter sound. Balance them left and right in stereo.

There is no question that whatever sub I end up getting, it will be sealed.

The Elac subs look very interesting

.....and the Paradigm subs look very interesting as well. Definitely more expensive; in line with REL costs.

To all of you.....

I'm finding myself drawn to subs with app control. I don't understand why REL (with their great reputation and significant pricing) hasn't gone down this road yet.
