Best Subwoofer for Magnepan speakers


Greetings Audiophiles ! I would like your imput. My present system is composed of the following: 1. Conrad Johnson PF-R Pre-amp. 2. McIntosh MC-300 Power Amp. 3. Magnepan 3.5 Speakers. As everyone already knows, the maggies have a great soundstage (with a powerhouse amp) but are somewhat weak on the bass. So do I want a subwoofer with a built in amp or do I want to power one with a dedicated amp? What brand subwoofer? Budget around $1500.00
I really value all your opinions! Thanks Kyle

just went through the subwoofer wars, spending weeks reading what everyone else thought and liked. listened to many subs. would have loved to get the velodyne dd series, but due to not being able to justify 5000.00 on a pair of subs, i settled for a pair of the velodyne spl 1200r's. gotta say once i found a happy place for them sitting back in the corners behind my system, they are a very excellent sounding sub. then again its all what your ear likes, not anyone else.
