Hi.

Wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions for a Subwoofer for a HT setup consisting of the following. I have limited time due to other committments to go into detailed and long listening sessions and looking basically for a short list so I can save time.

B&W Matrix 805's and HTM
Boston VRS-Pro
Onkyo TXDS777
Rotel 991 and 993

So far I have read about and heard a couple of the following (some of which are discontinued and would have to be acquired second hand) and am after something that will compliment the detached, Matrix sound of my B&W's. The VRS-Pro's make a good match as rears and want to continue that theme:

B&W Matrix 800ASW (discontinued and hard to find S/H in Sydney)
B&W ASW2000
Boston VR2000 (Also discontinued but probably available S/H)
REL (various models in their range)
Various Velodyne Subs
Krix Siesmix 3 and 5 (Australian Subs)
M&K 150THX (I think that's the model number - about $1700 AUD)

My system is in an L-shaped room but at one end which serves as the loungeroom of medium size.

Any suggestions on which of these would integrate well with the rest of the system or any other alternatives would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
