This is my first post so here it goes....


I am in the process of creating my first quality stereo/home theater system and am planning to start with Merlin TSM-MMe paired with the NAD VISO Five DVD/receiver (to be released soon). I know the later is far from ultra high-end audiophile equipment, but i am interested in simplicity and a visually spare and unimposing piece of stereo equipment. Plus, my budget is a bit limited and I would rather put more money into speakers.

So... I am planning to build a small home theater system around the two and was wondering if someone can recommend a similarly small and unimposing subwoofer to mate with the Merlins. The cheaper the better, but quality is important. I believe the Merlins drop off at 40hz. I have some hearing damage and thus don't listen to loud music much, so loud output is not particularly important. Last - I live in a small apartment and likely will move into a small house in the future - thus, my listening space is small.

thanks....
