Seeking subwoofer recommendation

I am looking for advice on a subwoofer to pair with Vandersteen 2CE speakers and a Rogue Cronus Magnum II integrated amp. It is my first foray into sub-ville, and I want a decent sub (new or used) for less than $500. I know there aren't stellar performers at this price-point - I just want to dip my toes in the water and see how the sub sound contributes to my system. Feel free to recommend subs up to $1000 if they are a much more worthy performer. I want something that will integrate well. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Room size is 18'x15' with brick walls, wood beam ceiling and fully rugged.

I think SVS SB-2000 subs are their best sellers.

The Rogue Chronus Is easily hi Passed Rogue Audio has done many for us with both Vandersteen 
2W Q series and Vandersteen Quatro series with hipass installed.
Nice that many well wishers here are having fun with their svs woofers and their speakers but I don’t think any are actually using them with same phase and time correct design speakers you own Or asking about.
its real simple when you value live music Vandersteen Reference his speakers are all in sync with what the microphone diaphram picks up
whe many conventional designs drivers are 180 out of phase with their other drivers. The advantages 
of you choosing 
the 2WQ it hooks up with Its 6db x over same time coherent as your speakers and relieves all the heavy lifting your amp does below 80 hz
this allows the whole system to work with better clarity and transparency.
