Subwoofer for music

I already have a subwoofer for my home theater - Epik Conquest purchased from SlowcarIX. The Conquest would be great for music, but WAF won't allow it in my music room. I currently have some Snell Model M and need to fill in the bass. I will probably get some "full range" speakers in the future, but will still want to fill in the bass below 20 Hz. I like several genres of music, but for bass, think something like Saint Saen's Symphony #3. I am looking for a cube less than 20-22" in maximum dimension.

Best contact - altbrewer at yahoo dot you know the rest

Thanks,
Mike

    Are you looking to buy used? What's your budget?

    New models to look at:
    Epik Dragon
    Epik Vanquish
    SVS SB-12
    HSU ULS-15

    My choice if it were me: (2) Rythmik SE F-12

    Dual subs would help flatten the room response and give you the most uniformed bass for multiple seating positions.

    Sean was telling me that he thought Totem Storm subwoofer was one of the best musical subs around.

    1) Martin Logan Depth or any of there subs.

    2) Rel Storm III or a Strata III. The New models are very nice, give them a listen.

    3) Dynaudio Sub 500 ( which I own ) is incredibly musical. Not a lot of punch for theater but supports the low end and fools you to believe the bass is coming from the mains or whatever is in between your speakers. An Amazingly quick and blends perfectly.

    4) Paradigm Seismic 12. Really suprised me when I did a few. I even had poor placement on one and it really filled the room for music very well. It was in the back of the room behind a couch corner and I could not believe the performance I got out of it once I tuned it for it's location. Very nice and small.

    Thanks for the advice. I am looking for a single used subwoofer. This will be in a relatively small room (9x11x8 feet high). Budget not firm, and I will buy new if I cannot find something that excites me used. My ideal (I think) would be a Fathom F112 or F113, but I am very interested in the Epik Vanquish at 1/5 the cost. The Vanquish is so new that I haven't found any comparative reviews of it yet.
