I think the subs closer to $2K such as REL, etc, are worth it if you have the money. The Stratus III or Storm III are both good choices, the Strorm having more power for a larger room. Subs at or under $1K to consider are the Monitor Audio ASW110 ($700 List), or ASW210 ($1000 List). Velodyne makes some decent subs at or under 1K also. Also look at HSU Research TN1220 or TN1225 . If you have an amp you can use to drive the HSU you can buy it without the amp which is separate for around $500 for the sub only (The amp is $700 more). TSU also makes a power sub the VTF-2 for only $500.

can anybody give me their learned opinion on testing subs.are there major differences as you move up in price as you find in loudspeakers.there are numerous subs priced under $1000 then you see names like sunfire rel velodyne proac that have subs around $2000,are they worth the extra expenditure. thanks in advance for all of the excellant comments i have recieved on audiogon.
