I Need Help Picking a Sub

Hello all. Right now i have put together of a somewhat decent theater system in my small living room. I need help with a sub woofer because i dont know what to buy. I am giving myself a cap of $1400 for something used on audiogon. I have Martin Logan ascent front and center speakers. I have a sunfire pre and 5 channel amp all of which are balanced connections. i am looking at the revelB15 sub or perhaps a velodyne DD series. because my space is tiny i was thinking nothing more than a 8" woofer but someone told me to stick with nothing lower than 10" for clarity. i could use some help from those audio pros out there.

IMO REL subs were OK before subs started offering EQ programs. I never cared for REL's down firing driver which I believe they've finally given up on.

With your budget you should take a long look at either Velodyne DD series or JL. The JL seems to have a better build quality but the Velodyne has a great setup program. The last JL review I read the reviewer used the Velodyne to graph their differences and to adjust the JL into his room.

The Velodyne is an older design than the JL but there seems to be a lot more JL's on the used market.
