Sub woofer that excels at the mid bass wanted


Greetings

Anyone here at audiogon knows of a sub brand or model that excels at the mid bass area? say 50hz to 90hz

I'm running Rega RS1 speakers as my mains currently. I'm looking to reinforce the mid bass attack, but it can't be boomy or sloopy with the Regas, the Regas are quick and tight.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Note:I don't want bigger mains to be able to take up the slack in this area....rooms to small, furniture considerations and etc.... AND I LOVE THE RS1's!!

I would think that "mid bass" and "subwoofer" sort of go against each other. I would suggest looking for a subwoofer with a smaller driver, probably an 8 inch. I would think that a quality subwoofer would handle 90 hz just fine as that's fairly close to where home theater speakers are often crossed over.
You might consider the Focal Dome subwoofer that retails for about $895. My local dealer offered me at point for $500 and sent it home for a demo. It really sounded great, but didn't pack the punch that I wanted for home theater. It's designed to go with the small Dome speakers and is rated to 200 Hz. It has variable cross over from 50 to 200 Hz. Should be a perfect fit other than the price is a little steep.
