Thanks, me bucko!
And when it tis all said and done I'll splice the mainbrace in yer honor!
If you want something off the shelf that will work live, the PRX618XLF seems to be well liked. For something in the rehearsal studio, the discontinued Mackie 120 (I think it is) might be worth a look.
Solution found: I did get the new Mackie DLM-12S sub-woofer. It mates perfectly with my JBL Eons...the sub reproduces the lowest portion of the Taurus very well and the JBL's cover the higher range quite nicely. By using the flexible crossover system in the Mackie you can free up the JBL's so that they sound much better than if they were trying to cover the entire range. Nothing very conceptually but the resulting sound gives me what I want: accurate sound of all my instruments including the Taurus III's rumble. What IS new is the approach of the DLM series: smaller size, less weight, and very clever electronics/design.
Thank you to all of you that offered ideas!

In a perfect world where you had no budget or space/weight restraints I would recommend a Meyer Sound 650p, but that would double your budget used. I don't know that you'll find anything that hits the low end the same way though...
Oh, baby!
THAT looks like a serious sub! I'll pop for that when I hit the Big Time (or the lotto)!
