Subwoofer w/ most SPL's For Music Only System

Considering a subwoofer for a music only system. Looking for a sub that will be musical and yet have plenty of headroom to play it loud or turn it down. In other words, powerful bass with the ability to go into the higher spl's if turned up; the kind of sub that has the capability to play a high volume of bass without the benefit of connection to an LFE channel. Considering the Sunfire Signature, Velodyne HGS 15, Earthquake Supernova 15.

Bass horns are exceedingly costly (check out the 'Living Voice' horn sub of old), they are also usually the size of a baby elephant, and don't go down nearly as far enough, 30hz if you are lucky (or unlucky), a friend uses 2 of the smallest REL's (Q50's I beleive) for his med/large(ish)hornloaded speakers to great effect as he only wants to underpin the bass he is already getting anyway (music only system). There are some seriously good musical subs out there for not much wonga. 2 subs are apparently better than one. I personally would love 2 SVS PB12/Ultra/2's!!
That should alter the foundations a tad!!lol
