Small quality HiFi subs reaching 22Hz

Any recommendations for good small subs to support ported monitors reaching 40Hz. Just aquired pair of System Audio SA2K monitors, and would like something nice to reach low 20's.

Mainly listen to a full spectrum of jazz (includes "fusion"), classical, movie scores, and ambient electronic music.

Sub won't require much amplification to match monitor output.

Thanks in advance,

It would be very helpful if you start by giving us your definition of "small". Also a general price range.

Here's an alternative idea: get a pair of subs, rather than just one, as a pair will provide lots more "oomph". Further, if placed properly, a pair of subs will load the room much better than one.

Outlaw Audio has a good sub (the LFM-1) that was designed for them by Hsu, and Outlaw currently has a special deal on a pair of the LFM-1 subs for $999 (they also provide a 30-day money-back trial). For more info, go to the following link:

Outlaw also has a smaller sub, the LFM-2, and you can get a pair of them for $549. See their web site for more info.

Outlaw's web site re-publishes a number of reviews of the LFM-1 sub. Here are links to three of the better reviews:
