Subwoofer to pair with AK5 Klipschorns

[formanj]

I am looking for opinions on a subwoofer to pair with my 2015 Klipschorn speakers.  My room is medium-sized, and I am running vintage McIntosh amplifiers and preamps (I have a solid-state and a tube setup that I rotate).

 

I listen to music only on my 2-channel analog system, and I mainly listen to classic rock and blues/jazz.  
 

Can I find something that will compliment the KHorns for under $1500?  Opinions?

I can't imagine you would need a subwoofer, considering the music you listen to. The Klipschorns

play low enough to cover your bases. If you were playing rap or electronic music, or using the

system for movies, then I could understand. So you may want to save your money.

 

That said, if you must have a subwoofer, The Klipsch Reference Premier series is of course, to be considered.

I have and like SVSound subs as their customer service, which I've taken advantage of, is timely and detailed

in their answers. They have an excellent return policy and they have an outlet link on their web site where you

can buy returned or refurbished units at a discount, which I did. Lastly, I like HSU Research because their subs

come with the ability to play them ported or sealed so you can experiment to see what you like; it's like having

two different subs in one.

Agree with the above...

No sub needed yet, you can get soon a Heritage horn sub 

made by Klipsch soon, as yet another option...also, the RP-16 sw by Klipsch @formanj

As @billybob mentioned, if you can wait, there are Heritage Horn-loaded Vented System subwoofers coming.
