Dali Zensor 1 + which Sub?

[bdf123]

Hi guys. After lots of research I think I'm going to be buying 2 x Dali Zensor 1's. subject to the sound test at the shop when I go! Will probs try a few others but for this topic lets say I definitely go with the above.

In addition I'm looking to buy a sub. Buying local, face to face, is important to me, so likely to be at Richer where I've had great service before and feel confident if something goes wrong I can return easily! So for this topic I'd be grateful if you only recommend subs that can be purchased here.

I'm thinking either Dali E9F, Monitor Audio BXW10 (if they have 1 think end of line), REL T5 or maybe Dali E12 although I wanted to keep budget to £450 really!

Views on the above? Which is best? Anyone got either of these? Or recommend something else not listed!?

your suggestions and comments is much appreciated! use is mostly music (indie and house)

Maybe, maybe not local, but the SVS SB1000 will outperform most sub £500 subwoofers, particularly those made by speaker manufacturers - how many other subs in this price range come equipped with a long throw 12 incher?! There's also limited stocks of their SB12NSD sub too, which is also within budget, despite usually coming in just under the £600 price point.

Thanks for the recommendation. Would you know which retail stores would stock these? I'd love to go and check one out.

I was gonna say go for rel only due to the fact that you can connect them different and is better suited for music play back. But id rather say listen to david at frank harvey as he knows his stuff.
