An article in $ensible $ound within the last year, I believe, set o=
ut good reasons to avoid subwoofers in the interest of accurate reproductio=
n. IOW, get one for movies, but not for music. The reason was that almost a=
ll external crossover systems are inadequate. Getting an accurate balance w=
ith two speaker systems was virtually impossible.
As far as a recommendation, I would add the name Paradigm Active 20=
's (which I own) or Active 40's, both of which are no longer made. I bought=
mine used and they are excellent speakers. The 20's are bookshelf sized (a=
lthough very heavy) and they sound as good as anything I heard up to the $5=
000 category. Yeah, sounds impossible, but.....
Frequency response claimed is plus or minus 1db from 48hz-22Khz. Go=
ogle a bit and you'll see some impressive reviews.

this was recorded late June in western Maryland mountains around 2 am. Sure
sounds like Bobcat, or Cougar. Anybody recognize?
we woke up in the tent at the last call but not enough to know what we
heard, just caught the tail-end of it and foggily went right back to sleep
the call seemed 200-400' away through the woods, maybe less. we were camped
on a forested-ridge, no other campers within a mile.
