sub for small office

fatchowmein

I'm picking up a Harmon HK3480 and will attach a pair of Rti6's to be used as a small home office bookshelf system (10 x 11). Listening volume will be at moderate or low playing mp3's from an iPod or feed from my PC's soundcard. I rip my CD's between 192 and 320 bit. System will only be used for 2 channel music listening - no home theatre/movie/surround sound setup desired. Type of music played: Diana Krall, Sarah Brightman, Armik, Eagles, etc.

What would you all recommend in a small sub or will the RTi6's be plenty of bass? Budget is $400 or less. I'm leaning towards Hsu's STF-1 but have not heard it. Is the Polk PSW10 enough? I'm interested in picking up the lows. No rumbling, knock me out my chair bass needed.

Thx

A sub that I ordered off of Fry's outpost.com was an Athena AS-P4000
10 inch powered subwoofer. You might want to have a look/see at this sub, too.

Amazon has it for $149.95, w/o shipping. I bought mine from Fry's for the same price, shipped.
Your local Best Buy may have it in their store for you to listen to. Definitely worth having a listen to. Pretty nice tonal qualities for the price. It can rattle the windows when called upon, but it definitely is not a "boom" box.

You could look into the 8" Velo line like the DLS-3500R. Has 4 preset eq with remote. Under 400 but not as cheap as others recommend.

Thx for all the suggestions. Looks like I have some homework to do.
