New sub pick for Klipsch RF-7 + system?

I missed a great deal on eBay for the discontinued Klipsch RSW-15 sub for about $1K......&*@#.
I'm using my "left over" RSW-10 with front Klipsch RF-7 and RF-5 towers for surround. Definition is good but I feel like this set-up needs a little more extension and power.
So, if I can't find a RSW-15...what choice? I'm in eastern NC with limited opportunity to auditon products. Choices so far look like the Velodyne SPL-1200R (fits my space), the SVS SB12-Plus (or SB12-Plus/2 which might be more than I need) but it's quite large. Have heard neither.
What do you think fits? Klipsch forum guys all like the Klipsh RT-12d...but it's a new model and still very pricey at retail about $2K.

I would say if you like the Klipsch subs check out the HSU VT3 MKII or what ever which one has the turbo charger.

How big is your room? For around $1000 either the HSU VTF3-HO w/ turbo or the SVS PB12+/2 should be more than enough.

That was what I was trying to think of, HSU VT3-HO.:)

SVS PB12+/2 this is the best! Under 2k in fact way under 2k. For 1200 you're in bass heaven.
