Which Sub Woofer is good for my 2 channel system

I want to add a Sub to my 2 channel music system and would like comments and suggestions on which one. My music room is 12 x 16 and I am using B&W 805 Sig's. If it matters my source is McIntosh 352 amp and the C2200 pre.
I do not like booming,rolling,load bass. Something, tight,fast,smooth.
Music choice is: Light Jazz,& Vocals.
My first thought was 12" or less. I use a sub in my HT system but that is NOT part of my 2 channel.
Budget amount, I would like to keep at 2000.00 or under for new sub.
Your suggestions would be appreciated.

I just purchased a Martin Logan Depth for my 2-channel system recently. I chose the Depth after an exhausting search for the "right", musical subwoofer. I listened to subs from Velodyne, JM Lab, REL, Titan, VMPS, and Martin Logan's smaller Grotto. They were all very good, but I had to give the nod to the Depth.

The Depth is exceptionally fast, taut, clear, defined, controlled, and blends with my JM Lab monitors seamlessly. I really wanted to spend only around $1,200 for a sub, but I absolutely felt compelled to get the $1,700 Depth. I also heard the $2,700 Descent, and it was better, but not necessarily in terms of clarity; it just had more physical impact.

Good luck!
