need help with a subwoofer

I own a pair of Tyler Acoustic Taylo monitors with a pair of base modules to match. These are not Ref. I's or II's but something that Ty experimented with. The sound is GREAT but I have been looking for a sub to get that very last half octive and was prepared to purchase a Rel Storm III but the local dealer is not customer friendly in this area. I read in one of the mags about the HSU TN1220HO but when investigating on the web, I find a mixed bag of reviews, mostly negative. I want something that will go to 20 with decent output, will be wife friendly, and will not break the bank. Any suggestions?

Hi, Dumboat. See the post I made below about Widescreen Review mag's reviews of sub-woofers. Refer to that post before reading this one, so my comments make sense.

Since you asked about the Hsu models, this is how WR mag rated them:
1. Model TN825: average score = 3.83 ($400) A decent, middle-of-the-raod performer.
2. Model TN1225HO: average score = 4.46 ($300 for passive version; $800 with 200-watt amp) A good performer - lowest rating for any factor was 4.0.
3. Model VTF2: average score = 4.125 ($499) A solid, middle-of-the-road performer. A good value, also, when price is considered.

Hope this extra info is useful in addition to the material in my other post.
