I've tried over the years on a few occasions to match a sub with my preference for planar speakers (Apogee and Magnepan)
I was never able to get what I felt was the proper match between the sub and main speakers. I always felt the deeper bottom was gained by sacrificing other things.
Having said that, I fully agree that as was mentioned earlier, a properly matched setup would be great.
I've always been happier with optimizing low end with speaker placement. Which at least in my case, has always gotten me close enough. Besides, I'm a mid-range fanatic. deep deep low end is about number 4 on my list for music enjoyment.
