For reasons to tedious to mention I'm in need of advice re a sub suitable for music (don't want to shake the sofa during action movies!). The speakers to match are JBL control 1s which obviously need a little support in that area!

Criteria:

Speaker level input
Binding posts in preference to spring clips
reasonably compact
Cheap!! (ish)

Any suggestions gladly accepted.
 
I took delivery of a Monolith-DF last week (for cinema use) and while I'm loving it to bits, I can say without a doubt that it is not what you're looking for. I would cast my gaze to one of the XLS subs for music.

BK can also finish subs in rosewood or mahogany for a small surcharge if you ask nicely, if such things matter to you.

I use a Behringer B2092A. It does the job well, uses balanced input/outputs, is very well priced and does the job well. It is, however very heavy, an awkward shape and can be difficult to place in a domestic setting. Check it out!
 
the next sub I buy will be a BK XLS200 DF

having said that, you can pick up s/hand REL strata 3s quite cheap these days. Admitedly, they're not compact but they work well with music.
