If you can swing $700-800 you should be able to get a used James EMB-1000. This is a terrific musical sub that will just blend in.
I replace my sunfire true sub mark II with the EMB-1000 and the difference was so obvious....suddently the bass was just a smooth clean extension of my other speakers. The sunfire was always a little boomy and a little muffled. The EMB-1000 is a 10". I then replace the emb-1000 with their 12" emb-1200 just because I found one at an irresistable price. Honestly, there is almost no difference, but that's probably because of my listening preferences.
Admittedly, it's very hard to find a James dealer to listen to these speakers...but I am comfortable recommending them, even if you haven't heard them first....they are that good.
