Best Sub Rel or Muse


I am looking for a high quality sub suitable for both music and HT. I've heard the Muse 18 and Rel Storm series are good. Which is the best? Also any other recommendations in the 12-1400 range used would be appreciated. My front speakers are Vandy 2CE's. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Rick

buy a *pair* of vmps - even their larger subs can be had for less than $1200 - the *pair*! two subs are a *must* for proper imaging/soundstaging & integration w/monitors. for your price range, ewe can pick up a cheap used hi-power amp, & get a used active x-over, if yer on a budget.
For $2000.00 or less the Paradigm Servo 15 takes on and beats all comers. Very musical sub and awesome for hometheater. List is $1500.00 but can be had for $1200.00 to $1300.00. The lower end Rel subs aren't in the same league in regards to output. Stereophile class B rated pushing class A with some setups. I run this sub with Kef Referece 4's and is awesome.
Vanderstein subs are by far the best I have heard, made my velodynes (soon sold) sound like automotive subs. Cost of new subs ~1300 each. Richard Vanderstein would probably be happy to talk with you about integration with your 2ce's.
