I decided to bite the bullet and get a new sub.

http://velodyne.com/subwoofers/shop-by-series/optimum-series/optimum-10.html

10" Velodyne Optimum.  It has presets which have allowed me to dial it
in for music, it's running off the preamp out of my Simaudio 600i. 
Cross over at just a little under 50hz.  After a day of sweep signals
and running the gantlet of various music I think I have it dialed in to
be as seamless as possible with my Focal speakers.

I wasn't missing much but what I was missing has made listening to
music more enjoyable, especially at lower volumes.

The beauty of the sub is that it has presets.  I've set the Jazz mode
where I want it for 80% of my music.  The Rock mode automatically
boosts the volume 2 notches and boosts the 50hz range by 4db, great for
the 80s hair metal that is my guilty pleasure.  Movie mode boosts the
Jazz mode by 6db, to get the house really rocking when watching
blu-rays.

All is controlled by my Harmony remote and the presets switch
automatically on a per activity basis.
