For use in a music system, there is almost no subwoofer that is a better value, or that offers more musical sound, than the Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer. I have two of these, and they integrate so seamlessly with the rest of my system it's impossible to tell there are subs playing. You can usually buy used Vandy 2Wq subs for around $800.
About a month ago, I posted a long thread that contained the ratings of subwoofers taken from Widescreen Review magazine's reviews of some 50 subwoofers. I suggest you use the Audiogon search engine to look for this post in the archives.
You should also read the post below which discusses the relative merits of the 2W vs. 2Wq subwoofer.
