REL Subwoofer to match monitor speakers similar to Raidho X-1s?

Hi All:  I have Eben X-Streame monitor speakers, which were sort of the precursors to the Raidho X-1 monitor speakers as I understand it.  A local hi fi shop recommended a REL T9x sub, based on the size of my room and the speed of the sub.  My concern is that I've read in other places that the RELs work best with speakers that already produce a full range of frequencies, and I have to believe that these relatively small monitors don't -- even though they have absolutely gorgeous mid-range and highs.

Any thoughts or suggestions about this?  I'm looking for a clean sound, not a boomy AV sound.

Thanks!

["the speed of the sub"] ?

Is this your first subwoofer?

You might want to ask your dealer where on the REL site does it give the subwoofer speed? 

Many modern subwoofers have the adjustability to better integrate with a wide variety of speakers than simply crossover and phase. Good luck with your search.
