Best subwoofer for 2 channel Hi End system


I need your suggest because I want to add a subwoofer to my Hi End system.
I have a pair of Tannoy Edinburgh HE loudspeakers with a Pass Aleph amplifier. Althought the bass are very good I want to add a subwoofer to reproduce very low freq.
Please let me know your opinion and recomendations.
Thanks.

I totally agree with Swampwalker. The 2Wq is an excellent sub for music and with the "Q" adjustment, you can get it to integrate seemlessly with about any speaker.
A pair is better for several reasons. One, it loads the room better for smoother response and second, there is some information in the lower range that is channel dependent.
I personally have found that 2 enhances the soundstage width and depth over using 1 sub that sums the low frequency information.
Also, as a final thought, the 2Wq is driven at speaker level. This removes the responsibility from the preamp and also allows the sub to take on the general characteristics of the driving amplifier for better blending.
It is a well designed and executed sub.
