Personally I like RELs. I have listened to Storm IIIs, G2s (2500 - 3000 used), and Studios ($3500-4500 used). I prefer the older generation ported downward firing woofers (such as the Storm and Studio) because their sound is more nuanced, effectively allowing mid-range sound to come to the fore.
Too often, the subwoofers that I have used, although fast and precise, have been overpowering. I felt like I was spending as much time tuning the subs to my room as enjoying good listening. Good luck in your search, and do post about your experience.
