looking for advice on budget subwoofer

I have a budget system (rotel ra-932 integrated amp, B&W DM601 speakers, jealous?) and am looking to improve it a bit.

If anyone has advice on a budget subwoofer, or other ways to spend $300 or so to improve the system, I'd be curious to hear.

I just use the system to listen to music (no movies) mostly rock and jazz.

It is in a 12 x 12 room.

many thanks!

I have a budget system I use in the winter, and I was able to get a Mirage subwoofer on sale for under $300, that is very musical. Vanns has the following subs marked down that are in your range:

Yamaha Soavo: $400 (retail was $1,400) - This would be my choice - 18hz!
Mirage MM8: $350 (retail was $800)
Velodyne SubContractor Series 12: $400 (retail was $800)
REL T3: $400 (retail was $600)

Hope this helps,

A used Martin Logan Dynamo is an incredible sub for around $300.
Do not waste money on speaker or interconnect upgrades and run from anyone suggesting upgrading Power cables, a complete fraud.
