Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy

I have now a Puppy 6 and am planning to upgrade to the Wilson puppy 7 + a subwoofer or the Wilson Maxx. But since my room is not to big and I can not finance the Maxx 2 yet I am thinking about buying the WP7 + a good subwoofer.

My slection so far:
1. Wilson Watch Dog
2. Velodyne DD18
3. Revel B15

Which subwoofer will be the best. I know the Wilson will fit the best but it is like 16000 US$ whicle the revel is 5000 US$ and the velodyne 4500 US$. The Velodyne sounds like a good buy but will it work with a Wilson speaker. Will it not be to slow for 2 channel.

I do not play movies and am only interested in a subwoofer for music. Which will be the best choise and who has experience with a good sub for a Watt / Puppy.

Rives:
There isn't anything special that needs to be done to have the sub crossover below 40Hz. I'm not quite sure what was the problem in your situation. This isn't an issue that was addressed by a software update. It shouldn't have been a problem. That's strange.

In response to Rives, "...the Velodyne will not work terribly well. I worked at a client's trying to get that sub to integrate to WP 7s and could not. The issue was the crossover's lowest point was 40 Hz."

This is not correct. I'm a dealer for Velodyne Digital Drive subs and have had one in my system for quite some time. The low-pass filter is adjustable from 15Hz to 199Hz and you can adjust the rolloff from 6dB/octave to 36dB/octave in 6dB increments. There is absolutely no reason why a Velodyne Digital Drive sub can't be integrated with a WP7.

Not having tried the other subs, it is hard to say what will be the best match. There are some fantastic subs available.

Best of luck,
Neil
