Best Subwoofer for B&W 805s Speakers


As many might know the B&W 805s speakers lack bass and I am trying to find a subwoofer under $1000 that would integrate well these speakers. I've been doing a lot of research on the web and there are too many choices out there (SVS, HSU, AV123, EPIK...) and I can't seem to decide. This is srictly for a 2 channel stereo system so no HT. My Equipment is all Rotel. Any suggestions? Thanks.

REL Storm III @ $900 to $1,000 on the used market. Very musical with a seamless presentation... offering a high degree of flexibility as far as connection options and adjustability. I had previously owned four other subs, including two from Velodyne, one from Atlantic Technologies and an old Yamaha sub, and the REL bested them all by a wide margin.

I would have never sold my REL, except for the fact that my Dynaudio C4's don't need a subwoofer, and I plan on keeping them for a long while, and I used the proceeds from the sub for some NOS tubes. If I'm ever in the need for another sub, REL would be at the top of my list.
