Best Subwoofer for B&W 805s Speakers

As many might know the B&W 805s speakers lack bass and I am trying to find a subwoofer under $1000 that would integrate well these speakers. I've been doing a lot of research on the web and there are too many choices out there (SVS, HSU, AV123, EPIK...) and I can't seem to decide. This is srictly for a 2 channel stereo system so no HT. My Equipment is all Rotel. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks, I'll keep the REL in mind, I know they are very musical since this is at the top end of my budget I was wondering if anyone has had any experience/good results with something a even less costly?

The B&W ASW610 (retails for $1000) gets high marks from Stereophile. Used, you may alos look at Velodynes SPL series.

Consider the REL T series. I have just added a T-2 to my system with excellent results. There is a T-1 listed today .

I disagree- with the right amplification the 805s do NOT lack bass! Try using better upstream components- good CD player will definitely make a significant difference and use solid state (rather than tubby tube amp) amp with a adequate current delivery. For even better results- biwire the speakers. I have used with a Marantz PM11S1 and the bass is very rich and tight.
