Subwoofer Help...


I have a problem with bass and am looking for advice... I have a pair of B&W Silver Signature 30s in an audio only system. I listen primarily to classical music and am looking to integrate faithful deep bass reproduction with the Sig 30s. I am toying with the idea of purchasing a pair of subwoofers and was looking for any advice from people who have high resolution monitors and have done the same. My greatest concern is integration with the Sig 30s... various thoughts include a pair of the new smaller Revel subs, a pair of 12" Velodynes, or possibly a Wilson Pow Whow. Suggestions and/or experiences are welcome...

Cornfedboy, he is looking for advice with the equipment he has not advice on what he should sell or buy.

I love the pinpoint accuracy of a great monitor. I recently purchased the Wilson Audio Cub II's. I could have purchased the Wilson Audio 6'es if I wanted; I just enjoyed the Cubs more. I already own the Mirage 12" sub, which was about three years old. My Cubs are way to fast for this sub. I was waiting for the new Wilson Watch Dog to come out and was prepared to purchase it. I was not exactly excited about spending $10,000 for a sub, (to be honest, I was very excited about spending 10k on the sub, it was my wife that was less than excited about it) that would have put me back in the price range of the Wilson 6'es, which I was completely ok with. I felt I would have the best of both worlds, pinpoint accuracy on some types of music and a perfectly matched sub for more demanding music. Last month Audio Revolution did a very interesting review of the Revel 15B, they even had a picture of them testing this sub with the Wilson 6es. (For all the audiophiles that hate Wilson Audio, save your threads, I know, Wilson Audio sucks!) I immediately went out to have a listen and ended up purchasing the Revel 15B. Is this the very best sub out there, NO, but it is an excellent sub for the money. I hope this helps.
As a follow up to my post earlier, I stated that I was going to purchase the Revel 15B. My dealer finally got the Wilson Watch Dog in. I compared the Watch Dog against the Revel 15B and the Revel holds it own, but I have decided to go with the Wilson Watch Dog, I think it will be a more seamless fit with my Wilson Cubs II.
