Great -Small- Cheap subwoofer ?

I have a really sweet and very compact system consisting of a pair of the new Role Audio Sampan FTLs, a Winsome digital amp and an Oppo 980h- for the bread it is amazing and even the low end of these small speakers is not MIA- Nonetheless I think there may be some small(8 or 10 inch )subs out there that could supply a bit more foundation(under or around $300) and I'll be grateful for any input.

Oh yeah ... FWIW, the LFM-2 was designed for Outlaw by Dr. Hsu.

I vote REL. With the high pass input, and careful placement, they integrate perfectly with the main speakers. Sounds like you don't have a sub - rather, like your main speakers just got a whole lot better.

Hsu STF-1, $299. All Hsu subs have 4th order crossovers that go from 30 to 90 Hz -- that steep filter and wide range is a very big deal for dialing in the right match with an assortment of mains and rooms. The STF-1 plays 28 Hz cleanly and with authority, I have mated them easily with many fine speakers. And they are small and light, easy to move around, another big advantage for my needs. 30 day money back evaluation too.

If you can't find one of the subs already recommended at a price you can afford, the Mirage Omni S8 is a nice little sub for the money. Retail is $350 but if you look around online you can find one much cheaper.
