This is my problem. I understand most will want the deep powerful bass of what seems to be the norm in subwoofers, and I can appreciate this since I want it aswell. I can see my solution but it is beyond my finacial means. I would replace my current M22s with M60 or 80, this would give me the bass of the M22 w the REL and I could have a sub such as the Sunfire crossover very low. Perhaps that would keep it from being overly intrusive. Unfortunately this would cause marital problems..:) So I must continue my search of a hybrid.
