S-F users: any successful sub matings out there?


I have enjoyed my Verity Fidelios, but when I added the Hsu TN1220 (w/250w/amp)...bliss. Being a sufferer from audiophilia nervosa, I couldn't leave well enough alone: they're gone.
I couldn't live w/any system and give up the lower octaves any more. I'm strongly considering SF Homages and wonder if anyone has experience mating them w/subs? My knowledge of electrical engineering theory is zero: what compatability concerns must I consider? (Amp will be changed soon after speaker acquisition).
My Spartan system will be an Accuphase DP-75v direct to Classé DR-8, using ProSilway II IC.

I own a pair of Guarneri Homage. Depending on what type of music you listen to and how large you room is, you might not need a sub. They go surprisingly low in-room on their own (usable output down to 40 Hz or so). However, adding a sub makes a big improvement, and adding a second sub takes you up to a whole other level. I am sugin a pari of REL Strata III's, chosen because of their sealed box design and speed. They are a VERY good match w/ the Guarneri's, integrating beautifully in all respects. Biggest impac is not so much in the bottom octave (though they will of course do taht), but rather in soundstagin, and midrange/treble "clarity". The second sub was a revelation, really opening up the soundstage.
