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!

Thanks to everyone for their input.  Obviously I have a lot to learn.  What I am most certainly NOT pleased about is that I've sent REL 3 emails and left one voice message and not gotten one response.  That in itself might be reason to look elsewhere.  @Artemus_5, good point.  The guy certainly steered me right with the other stuff, but they will only recommend what they sell.  @pingstonesmile, alas due to the WAF, there will have to be compromises made.

Thanks @b_limo.  The good news is that I did hear back from REL finally.  Regarding matching with my speakers, part of the problem is I really cannot get any info on the Eben X-Streames in terms of their specs.  I just know they are like the Raidhos.
