I can't answer about either one of those subs, but I would like to suggest that you listen to a Von Schweikert VR/S-1. I have used this sub with the Spendor S5e's, and it is a killer. Very fast, and when set up right it will blend in with that speaker as if it was made for it.
I now have the Spendor S8e's, and guess what... I am still using it with these beautiful music makers that go down clean to about 30Hz. I use the lowest crossover point and it adds just the right stuff to complete these very musical full range speakers.
I love this sub! When you take the time, as you should with any sub, and you don't crank it up too loud... blend it with the main speakers... this sub will hide out and add depth and a very solid bottom end.
I use the Audio Research VSi55 integrated tube amp. It has a sub RCA output, and nicely controls the sub output. Use a good interconnect, and a good power cable... that puts the whip cream on the cake!
Try it... you might like it!
