Subs for Martin Loagn CLSIIs

Can anyone suggest any good low priced subs that blend nicely with my CLSIIs. I want to run dual subs (one for each speaker). I need something that works well with HT as well as music. About 3/4 of their use is for 2-channel music. Nothing harsh like rap or hard-rock. I wouuld love to get a pair of Kinergetics towers but they are out of my budget. Not to mention that people that have them don't want to get rid of them. Preowned subs are not a problem with me as long as they are in good working order. Right now I am using a Paradigm sub, but only for HT. It can be pretty unbearable when it comes to music. I need something with some more clarity and less boomy.
My room measures 12x18 with the system on the short wall. I use a Chiro reciever, Luxman CD player, and an Empire turntable for my music.

I also had the CLS2's and my sub did not integrate well at all with them (home built), although it did and continues to do so now. Although I am not sure how well they would integrate with the CLS2's, the ACI Titan II or Force are excellent low budget subs... HSU is also incredible to the bucks... you could start with one and add another when the budget allows...

good luck, Paul

I second Rhyno's suggestion. I've got a pair of Entec LF-30's ( same as Lf-20's except with a 3rd driver in each enclosure.) They are NOT Home theatre Subwoofers - they are audio subs - there IS a big difference to the discerning audionut.
