Default Sub-woofer

Any advice or pointers on a sub-woofer to compliment a pair of Quad
11Ls?

This is for musical use, not home theatre.



Handy with woodworking tools?

I'm agonising as to whether it' worth the effort to build one of these (SW2
or SW3) for HT use:

Nice chat with Ivan Leslie who claims these units are easily the equal of
commercial products costing 3 times the price (ie up there with top o' the
line RELs) and are a doddle to build....??

I've mislaid me bit of paper with the 'all inclusive' prices on, but I think
the *complete* kits (including sufficient iron-on, real wood veneer) work
out at about £276 for the SW2 and $340 for the SW3. There's a constant
stream of subs on eBay at nice prices but I suspect a lot of 'em are just
crap - I auditioned a Mission M3as at £200 a day or two back and I didn't
think much of it. (I don't want a ported sub...)
