Look into the Audiokinesis SWARM subwoofer system. Four passive subs that you ASYMMETRICALLY distribute around the room with a 1000W amplifier to drive them. No single sub, (even Vandersteen or REL), can compete with this system, if set up right, and its relatively inexpensive - about $2500.00 for the whole deal.
Also see Robert Greene's review in TAS from last summer. He said it was the BEST bass he has ever heard, (and he's heard it all). I am using it in a Vandersteen 5.1 set-up and I can vouch for REG's observations. It KILLS my single V2W.
