Subs for Martin Loagn CLSIIs

Can anyone suggest any good low priced subs that blend nicely with my CLSIIs. I want to run dual subs (one for each speaker). I need something that works well with HT as well as music. About 3/4 of their use is for 2-channel music. Nothing harsh like rap or hard-rock. I wouuld love to get a pair of Kinergetics towers but they are out of my budget. Not to mention that people that have them don't want to get rid of them. Preowned subs are not a problem with me as long as they are in good working order. Right now I am using a Paradigm sub, but only for HT. It can be pretty unbearable when it comes to music. I need something with some more clarity and less boomy.
My room measures 12x18 with the system on the short wall. I use a Chiro reciever, Luxman CD player, and an Empire turntable for my music.

The best subs I had when I owned CLS were Celestion System 6000 dipole subs. Dipole bass is wonderful, and will naturally match the dipole nature of your speakers.

However, there are no current makers of dipole subs to the best of my knowledge. Fortunately, it is very easy to build one, much easier than traditional subs.

Here is a link that explains how:

I've also owned Entec subs and they are very good, but for a dipole speaker especially, I would go with a dipole sub.
