How to select a subwoofer


My current system is shaping up nicely. My next step is to decide on a sub to obtain deeper and tighter bass. My speakers go to 25hz and my room is 14wx22lx9high. I enjoy classical with other genre. The issue of budget is always a question and it should be below 3,0000. Different companies have various setups so I would like suggestions that you enjoy. Thanks, Steve

It sounds like you feel you need something more from your system. I always ask my customers to try to identify what it is. Systems may just not connect with people, they may not be involving, drawing the listener in and inviting more time be spent. So before I would jump into a sub when in fact your speakers claim to go nearly as low as most subs I would as myself a few questions.
1. Do I really love the sound of my system?
2. Do instruments sound like they do when I go to concerts, alive and real?
3. Are voices in the midrange breath taking on well recorded CD's?
4. Ask yourself, what is my body posture while I am listening? ( With bright/forward speakers I have found myself sitting on the front edge of the chair with shoulders forward and definitely not relaxed.)

Just my experience.
