Best Subwoofer To Use With A Two Way Speaker System

I received my new Wilson-Benesch Vertex stand mounted loudspeakers in mid-January.  After about a 200 hour break-in period and a few position tweaks I am now in audio nirvana but without the final low octave or so.  I carefully chose my associated electronics and couldn't be more pleased.  My Sutherland N1 preamplifier has 2 outputs so I can use it to drive a crossover/subwoofer system.  
I am entirely certain that my spouse would never stand for me to add a W-B Torus Infrasonic Generator & the accompanying Torus Amplifier at about $12,000. I would like some assistance from those that have the experience to advise me of something very good to mate with my system at a much more reasonable cost.  Thanks

I will definitely check out the Vandersteen 2Wq Sub. Thanks

Ahem, cough, cough, didn't I recommend the Vandies first?
No problemo, I am glad you are considering them. Unless you have some weird amp, they are sub that seamlessly integrates with you speakers.

Gee whiz! ANOTHER sub that integrates seamlessly? I've never had a "seam" problem with my B&W.

You absolutely did and I apologize for the oversight.  You get first creds!
Thank you

dweller:  you are fortunate or smart or both.  have you never heard a sub in a system that "integrated" poorly?  with issues with phase, timing, voicing, speed, placement, etc. etc. and particularly with speed and voicing?  some folks run into such problems, and a sub that tends to "integrate" more easily might save some frustration or heartache.

The Vandy is probably much more likely to be easier to integrate with OP's WBs than an SVS PB16 ultra, for example. 

I've had "seam" problems.  Maybe I'm just unfortunate or dumb or both.
