Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s?

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a new system and am considering adding a sub to my Thiel system. I'd love to get one of the Smart Subs, but they're just too damn expensive to fit into the budget. Any opinions on the other alternatives? Although I do use the system for TV and occasional movies, I'm really only interested in 2 channel.

I've read good things about the REL Strata III, but would like to hear other's opinions on the available < $1000 (used) options.

Right On! stevecham-
The CS 2.4 will certainly play low in the Bass region without drawing attention to itself. The passive radiator does more than most think.

I look forward in reading more about your thoughts/impressions as you massage those subs into your room / system. Keep writing.
Happy Listening!

Reviving an older thread here;
hope you guys are still enjoying the CS 2.4 and a REL or SmartSub.

Happy Listening!

The smartsub was designed to accompany model SCS4 monitor speakers.
A REL sub is very fine for any of the Thiel floor-standers.
