If you could come up with another $100. You can find Paradigm PW2200 for $600(used) sometimes (far and few between) This sub is VERY VERY tight and accurate. HARD HITTING 95+db@20hz!!(HIGH Q) The Velodyne CT-150 is +25% BOOOOMY -25% accurate. B&W 1000 is in the middle of the two, but sheer output is -20% of the previous 2. But all these subs are going to cost you another hundred I'm afraid. But the PARADIGM PW2200 in MY opinion would be my choice even if your budget was $900.00. I love accurate bass.
