Best Sub for Music, Under $1000

I currently use a Revel B15 to fill out the low end on my Tyler Acoustic Monitors. This weekend we put the B15 into our home theater system and realized that it's extremely low frequency response was being underutilized in the two channel music system, so I am in the market for a great sub for music only - the catch is that I have only $1000 to spend - used would be fine, but I would prefere a transferrable warranty. I am considering going with the Tyler Acoustic Taylo Sub, but have not heard anything about it one way or another. Thanks.

Again, I would recommend the Muse model 18. Very musical and tight, goes low, and is very fast.

I agree with SDCAMPCELL as I use a pair of 2Wq subs with my MG 3.6R.

REL or the Vandersteen. The Vandersteen needs a crossover, which will affect the sound of your mains.

I own, and love the Sunfire Architectural Sub. Fast, tight, powerful, very musical and small. Lists for $1400, but you should find it, new, nicely discounted for $1000. I did. It's designed for two channel listening. Everyone thinks of Sunfire and HT, but this baby is wonderful. It blends seemlessly with my M20s. I compared the Architectural to the B-15 before I bought it. Price and size were factors, but I used the B-15 as a referent. The Sunfire held its' own, beautifully. Happy listening.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. After thinking about it some more, I think the Revel is going back into the two-channel system - it is just too good to replace for $1000. Instead, I plan to get a Sunfire True Sub Mk IV for the home theater. The size will another member of the household.
