Sub recommendation to augment Klipsch La Scala's ???


I have Klipsch La Scala's Heritage Series and love them.  But am looking for a musical sub to augment them in the lower registers.  Must be musical, fast, and dynamic to keep up and give me the visceral kick drums I'm looking for.  I listen mostly to Jaz / Blues / Classic Rock. 

I'm thinking ported in Liew of sealed configurations.  I tried my Revel B15 sub pair and it was OK bot even with significant xover work didn't really integrate well with the speed and dynamics of the La Scala's.

Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of great options for "musical" subwoofers.

What size is your room?  What's your budget?  Do you have a preference in terms of connections (speaker/RCA/XLR)?  Music only or music + movies?  Any placement / WAF issues?

Ported subs can be as good in a music only system, but my first choice would be a sealed sub(s) for music.  Rythmik's servo controlled subs are great for music.  Without knowing more it's hard to say which one would be best.  I have two SVS SB13 Ultra subs in my main music system and am very happy with those and wouldn't hesitate to recommend SVS.  I have two Rythmik F25 subs that I use for home theater.  I would use those (or maybe just one) for music, but I can't due to space/placement issues in my room.  They are too big to fit where I would want them for music.
