KEF would be the only one I'd consider among those brands without research (and doubt that would change my opinion much), but KEF wouldn't be a go-to particularly for subs. A demonstration would confirm such a buzz, but "reputations" can be weird on the internet for what problems people have experienced and under what conditions. How about Klipsch, SVS, XTZ, BK Elec, Paradigm for some other brands that I'm guessing could be there?
