I recently replaced my NHT SW2P with a M&K MX-125. I use it in a satellite/sub setup with my NHT SuperZeros. I found it quite easy to match up with the SZs. I'm VERY happy with it.

Subjectively, it's quicker and more musical than the SW2P, goes quite a bit deeper, has greater clarity, and does a better job of staying out of the midrange. Objectively, in my listening room it's -2dB at 20Hz, vs. -3dB @30Hz with the SW2P. In addition, after careful setup I measured 20Hz - 125Hz +/- 2dB. The best I ever did with the SW2P was 30Hz - 125Hz +/-3dB. All measurements taken from my usual listening position with o-scope and calibrated mike borrowed from the university I work for.

Check out the MX-125 (or MX-125MkII, the current model). It's a good bit more expensive than the SW2P, but I don't think you'll go wrong with it.
