Rel makes killer subs. If you are happy with your current speakers, other than their ability pressurize to the room with bass I'd recommend looking at a REL subwoofer. Their ability to expand the soundstage is remarkable. They integrate more seamlessly than any other sub I've heard. When properly set up the sub is not a source of audible sound, it just sounds like the left/right speakers have had a major increase in bass extension. Of course that sounds like a description of what ALL subs SHOULD do, unfortunately they don't. RELs are the perfect sub for those who want musical bass, that perfectly matches what a great speaker can produce.
First of all, what are you using to drive your Avalon Symbols? Second, what is underneath them? The reason I ask is that you may have conditions which are constraining the bass extension of your loudspeakers.
The SVS 25-31 PCi is clearance priced right now at $500 and I doubt you'll find any subs at that price that are as musical and integrate with loudspeakers as well as it can.
