Need opinion of which subs to get

I have been doing a lot of searching, now just looking for input on best sub that would match my speakers. I have it narrowed down to dual SB12-nsd, or dual Rythmik F12SE, or maybe dual Epik Empires. these will be for music only, no HT, I am looking to boost that lower octave if you will, any input appreciated.

Current equipment:
Classe CP-35 preamp
Audio Research D-130 Amp
Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signatures(1 piece)

I was in your same boat a couple months ago.

Needed a sub for music only for Celestion Sl600s. Ended up getting lucky with a good match with a Revel b15a.

I use a pair of Rhythmiks and couldn't be happier. I've also heard great things about SVS from people that I trust. You're probably in good shape either way.

I always note that I use an Audyssey enabled pre-pro from Onkyo to integrate the subs, even tho this is a strictly 2 channel, audiophile type system. Speakers rotate between Merlin, Verity, Magnepan and (primarily) Ohm. Sources are QSonix and Cary digital, Acoustic Solid and Oracle analog. Down the fairway, audio hobbyist hardware.

I definitely prefer the "odd bedfellows" approach to a 2 channel system that includes subs. IME, whatever benefits were provided by my high end preamps (ARC LS-25 or Joule LA 100) were swamped by Audyssey.

The usual IMHO and YMMV disclaimers apply here.
