What subwoofer to choose for 2 ch and HT combined

I'm interested in finding a subwoofer that blends very nicely for 2 channel music yet delivers convincing base for home theater. I've heard very good things about the James, REL, Velodyne, and a few others but haven't really listened to many in a high end system. I will use for both 2 channel and HT systems but 2 channel is my dominant interest.

The sound of my system tends towards the warmer side with all Meadowlark speakers, VTL Amps, Ayre CD, and EAD Pre-Pro running analog through for 2 channel. My budget is under $3000. Thanks in advance for your advice.

I am also keenly interested in learning about good subs for music 1st and HT 2nd. I too have heard good things about James, REL, Velodyne, and Martin Logan subs.

Something else to look at is using Velodyne's SMS-1 to help tune a sub. The SMS-1 seems to be a great tool for integrating the sub to your mains as well as the room itself.

BTW, does anyone have experience with SVS subs? How do they compare to any others mentioned...particularly for music?
