I asked a very similar question here last month when I was looking for a pair of subs to augment my ReQuests. Audiogoners referred me to a number of excellent subs which may also be suitable for your system. See replies to the post "Talon Roc - worth it?" at http://audiogo1.iserver.net/cgi-bin/forum5.pl?bhome&979558099&read&3&4&& . After spending some time auditioning, I ended up buying a pair of Talon Rocs. Their speed and detail are a very good match for the lively electrostatics. My listening room is not very big and I've now found one Roc is plenty for my system (even for HT) crossed-over low with -3dB bass setting on ReQuests. A new powered Roc lists for $4000, but you can probably pick up a good used/demo unit for $2000-$2500 (depending on age & condition). The Roc is well built and comes with a transferable warranty. The Rel Storm is also very good (maybe a tad slower), though I didn't get to hear it with MLs. I didn't get a chance to audition the Genesis model you asked about, so can't comment on how it compares. Hope this helps. By the way, there is some other info you may find useful in the thread just below entitled "1 sub? 2 subs?" Don
