Best Subwoofer for 1500- 2500????


I'm looking for a subwoofer to compliment my Paradigm Studio 40's. I like bass, and i want the house to thunder when i watch DVD's AND listen to music. Any thoughts on the best sub around the $1500-$2500 price range? I want quality, not the college days Cerwin Vega 15's!! Thanks!

That is a decent price range for new subs and you could even cut the price in half going used.

Perhaps the most musical sub for this price break is the Bag End Infrasub 18 inch subwoofer sells new for $1600 or used for $800. I've had in my house for several weeks and could not believe that an 18 inch sub could be so tight. Stereophile's Michael Fremer gave this sub a very high rating.

I chose Triad's platinum 18 inch sub. Sonically one step down from the Bag End but still very musical from 35Hz down to 18 Hz.

There are a few other subs out there to consider, but not many as many are just boomy without musical definition. You should not compromise at this price on a sub that will not reproduce down to a min of 20Hz and preferably down to 18Hz or lower.
Ok, this is killing me, i can't find the "more chat" section to look up the sub review! Grrrr.....
Weedo:

The "more chat" link is at the bottom of the page where all of the discussion topics appear. From this page, you can click on "back" to get to discussion topics list -- then scroll down to the bottom, where you will see the "more chat" link.

Also, I have just posted the annual speaker and subwoofer recommendation list published by The Sensible Sound mag. Look for the post on the discussion topics page.
Maybe i've completely lost it, but when i hit "back" and scroll down, all i see is "next 50". If i hit back again, still nothing. Sorry to be a pain, i'm just dying to see the reviews!
