Subs for Martin Loagn CLSIIs

Can anyone suggest any good low priced subs that blend nicely with my CLSIIs. I want to run dual subs (one for each speaker). I need something that works well with HT as well as music. About 3/4 of their use is for 2-channel music. Nothing harsh like rap or hard-rock. I wouuld love to get a pair of Kinergetics towers but they are out of my budget. Not to mention that people that have them don't want to get rid of them. Preowned subs are not a problem with me as long as they are in good working order. Right now I am using a Paradigm sub, but only for HT. It can be pretty unbearable when it comes to music. I need something with some more clarity and less boomy.
My room measures 12x18 with the system on the short wall. I use a Chiro reciever, Luxman CD player, and an Empire turntable for my music.

I previously owned the CLS's setup with the Kinergic SW800's (SW800 Amps included). Does not get any better than that. Won best sound at CES several years ago.

I have since changed speakers (Watt/Puppy) for hometheater purposes, but still have the SW800's. Although they are setup for use with the Martin CLS specifically (i.e. specifically designed for the CLS by Kinergetics) they are great subs. Fast, powerfull etc. They work better than anything I have heard short of the 20K sub from Wilson Audio. You can feel them a block away. Don't think I'll ever get ride of them. Forget what I actually paid for them but it was significant back then. FIND A PAIR FOR YOUR CLS'S! THEY WILL GIVE YOU GOOSE BUMPS!
