which subwoofer?

I am looking for a musical sub for a small room(11.5x15x8), my speakers are Meadowlark kestral 2's, a Birdland odeon lite dac and a Cayin ta-3o integrated tube amp. For the price of all of it used, this system is incredibly musical and rich in the high's and mids...but lacks that bit of deep punch I like. Is there a sub made that will integrate with my existing equipment without losing anything. I would like to keep the price under a 1000$ used, thanks in advance!

Von Schweikert VS.1
Most musical of the lot.
Most versitile of the lot.
Easiest to integrate .
ok.

Another vote for REL Strata III which is nicely sized for your room and can most likely be properly placed in or near a corner. The Vandy is a very good sub, too, but it's quite big and has to be tailored for your speakers.

I agree with "Audiofankj"---Stick with the same manufacturer. I have B+W CDM 1's with a B+W AS6 sub- and am quite happy. At my cottage I have Radio Shack Pro LX 5's with a Radio Shack sub and it is adequate.

Unfortunately, unless your Cayin has a tape loop or a pre-out main-in, you will not be able to use the Vandersteen, which would be my first choice from a sound standpoint. It needs to be inserted between the pre and the amp.

I would like to use the meadowlark sub, but it's over two thousand,if I could find one used maybe? I'll have to look at the amp and see about the tape loop or preout. Thanks for the input!
