You will be hard pressed to get a "pair" of decent subs for $1,000. Anyone who knows subs will tell you if you only have a budget of $1,000, buy one good one, not two lesser subs.
I am running a pair of REL Storm III subs in stereo and it is great. I bought both on Audiogon for around $750 each average. Very happy with this setup. A pair of REL Strata II or Strata III's would be great. REL hands down makes the best subs to match with your stereo setup. Home theater not so musch, although they are decent for that two.
Paradigm, PSB, Velodyne, etc. will NEVER sound like a REL sub.... "Never?", yes NEVER.
