High end sub for big room. Suggestions?
There is no substitute for displacement. The REL may be the right choice because it integrates so well and is musical, but you will not be happy with HT unless you have 2 in your room... or you listen at low levels (U571 was not meant to be listen... 
Beating a Dead Horse. SUBS
