If anything, some subs are overkill for music, but that's why you can (usually) dial down the bass response.

My subwoofer is used strictly for the HT LFE effects. I didn't like the slight loss of transparency when I put a (non-REL) sub between the preamp and amp for music.

I've heard bigger, more expensive subs in a much smaller room and I've loved the bass impact. It made my sub "feel" very wimpish in comparison. I need to add a 2nd sub because of the room size but I also might upgrade, two (2) REL Brittania B1s are on the wish list; may even be suitable for music.
