I have these speakers (HR824's) and they do have a very smooth and extended low end. My speakers are on concrete stands well out from the walls too and I have a useable output at 35 Hz still so that gives you an idea about how low they can go under the right conditions.
I would not be pairing any old sub up with these speakers either. I would only consider the Mackie sub woofer to go with the HR824's. It is a lot more about how low any old sub can go. It is also about tightness and transient bass response from the sub that is going to match the speakers etc..
http://www.mackie.com/products/hrs120/ Although I think this sub might not be available anymore. They do make a 10" version to go with their MR series here but not sure how well it would pair with the HR824.
http://www.mackie.com/products/mrmk3-studio-monitors/ Click on the MR10S Mk3 over at the right but this sub is deisgned for their MR mk3 series of speakers. You still might find a HRS120 around for sale perhaps in a shop or ebay otherwise it is back to finding another brand of sub that is going to pair well with the HR824's.
