Musical subwoofer for under 1K

Thanks for the help! I now have a good starting point.

hsu tn1200 is wonderful...takes up little floor space, but as my wife likes to say, "it's the size of a small human." it's a passive sub and can be bought new for around $450. very hard to come by used, but a used high current solid state power amp is not (if your processor/receiver has a built in crossover....). i haven't heard the VTF-2, but it has excellent reviews and is only $499 new. good luck.

Thanks for the help.
I am going with a used vandersteen 2w that I found here on audiogon.

This is a little more expensive, but you may get it discounted to $1,000 or $1,100: the REL Strata III. It is simply an amazingly musical subwoofer and great for HT as well. Far better, IMHO, than the REL Q100E. I use it with B&W Nautilus 805's. Simply phenomenal. Spend a little more and you will be incredibly happy with it. It was a whole new system when I replaced my Audiopro with it.
