Above are excellent recommendations. I will add SVS PB12-NSD $599+shipping into that
mix.

I own the Epik Knight and love it. it is a splendid subwoofer and makes me grin everytime I listen to it (movies or music). Deep, clean, and loud. 599.00 it is a deal....and you can get it within a week or so.

My 2cents

I just picked up the SVS PB12-NSD last week for use with my 3808 and it is amazing!

EDIT: Oops, you said under $800

I would recommend the Hsu VTF-3 MK3 w/o turbo:

IMO, this is by far the best performer in your price range.

Yeah the knight and the mwf15 I'm sure are better as well. So may be you meant to say "the worst performer in your price range" ?

Thanks For the help, what about the Velodyne DLS series or the Klipsch RSW series how to they compare.

They dont. Another sub thats a little over the price cap of 800 would be eD a7s-450 with 1300w amp. It hasn't been tested but sure looks good from the specs.
Otherwise, I would go with either Caliber - not "Caliper" - or the mwf-15
