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.

Well this is interesting information. The Wilson Sub in Europe is 14500 euro (18000 US$). So I guess I can not afford it. In stead I am willing to try the Velodyne. I guess if you adjust it manually it will be possible to set it at 30hz and if you use the software you will not be possible to do so. With this price of the Watch Dog you can imagine only a few are sold in Europe. Second hand impossible to find. In America the voltage is different so if I import one from America I need to pay VAT (19%), then shipment and modification to 230V. This is going to be as costly as bying one here. How much definition in the bass do you hear at 20-30hz. It is more feeling than hearing. The speed is slow at this frequency. So I guess any good sub that does not add upper harmanics (and then destroy the good quality of the WP7) will do here.
