subwoofer suggestions


I am looking at adding a sub to my 2 channel music system. I am using a B&W Nautilus 804 speaker with MF m3 integrated amp and Linn ikemi cd player. People have told me the Linn sizmik, b&w asw 2500 or mirage subs are good. I don't want something too big but I want nice tight bass, not boomy. I here REL is good but there are no dealers in Toronto.

Jeffc, I forgot to mention in above post. Call Ambrosia Audio Video in Bel Air 310-440-5522, Adam, they will help you out. Very good prices and customer service. No I am not connected to the store, just a happy customer.
Jeffc,

If you are looking for a sub that has tight but not boomy bass, I agree with sdcampbell, on the Vandersteen 2Wq. It blends seamlessly and adds a bottom end that you didn't know your were missing. Vandersteen also make a HT version of the 2Wq called the V2W. It adds a 12" passive radiator for additional punch in movies. As for me, I have both mated to my Magnepan/JM Lab HT/Stereo.
You also may want to audition the Hsu Research Model TN1220HO subwoofer. In recent years these subs have gained quite a good reputation. I have four matched with four MG 3.5-Rs, and the subs blend very well with the speakers, producing clean bass without a boomy earthquake sensation - although that's certainly possible with the TN1220s if you desire it. The TN1220s significantly outperform other box-style subs like Velodyne, and are a much better value.
