I also have a full B&W setup. Based on some auditions and reviews, I'll probably upgrade to something from HSU or SVS when money allows :frowning:. They both have offerings in your price range.

One of my friends has one on order so I'll be hearing it fairly soon myself. Frankly, I'll be shocked if it isn't extremely good
Axiom makes a sub I like for music listening; the EP350. It's ported on the front but they use a 'vortex' shaped port design that eliminates chuffing and noise. Uses a 12" aluminum cone with a 200 watt amp. Fairly natural sounding overall and not boomy whatsoever.
