Subwoofer recommendations for this system?


I am in the process of seting up a new system:

Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 CDP with all upgrades
Bottlehead Foreplay preamp
Wright Audio 2A3 monoblocks (3.5 watts)
Reimer McCullough speakers (+/-3db 42 to 20 khz, 94dB efficient)

Room size is 15x20 ft with a cathedral ceiling sloping from 10-18 ft, and opening into a very large and high hallway. I listen to many styles of music, but mostly jazz (both acoustic and electric). This room can quickly become "boomy" with too much volume or too much bass, but the Reimers alone do not provide enough low end.

I am looking for a very musical subwoofer that will fill in the lower octaves, and integrate seamlessly. There is no home theater requirement. Budget is $1000 max.

Thanks in advance
Jim

Check this out. I know it's never recommended because it's not really advertised by Sunfire that much. Give a listen to their Architectural Series. It is designed for two channel systems. One front firing 10" or 12" woofer, depending on model. I did tons of research and listening when possible. Spoke to Bob Carver and others. You can find this baby, brand spanking new, nicely discounted. It's fast,very low extension and seamless with my system. I have the Revel M20s and set the sub's x over to handle the lowest end. Does everything a quality sub shoud do. I listen to mostly jazz, but his baby, if you want to show it off, will rattle windows and pictures. I love mine.
