Sub for my system? Please help

Hi I am soon moving to a new house, and am happy with my cuurent Home Theater/Music system, except for the subwoofer. My system is mostly used for movies, but in this new house I expect a 60% Movie to 40% music use. I listen to all types of music, but most is stuff like Dave Matthews, Norah Jones, Patty Griffen, ect... My curent system and what I need a sub to go with is as follows..

Yamaha RX-V2300 6.1 Reciever
Axiom VP-150 Center
Axiom M22ti Front
Axiom QS8 Surround
Axiom QS8 Rear

I currently have a Axiom EP-175 Subwoofer and would like to replace it. Price range for the replacement is $500-$700. As I am sure you know the M22ti's are awesome but a subwoofer is needed, so I have found the sub is more important to the sound of my system then I originally thought. You all seem to have a broad range of product knowlege so I come to you for help and trust (hope) I will be properly guided. My New room is 15' X 19' X 8'

I would add another ep-175 to the system. A pair will add greater output and blend much better with your system than any single sub could in your price range.

With the money left over pick-up the Outlaw audio ICBM bass management X-over and run them in stereo...you will need a fairly high X-over setting with the little M-22's anyway so the stereo setting will be a big plus.

I could never go back to a one sub setup in my system.

In your budget, you should seriously consider the new Outlaw subwoofer, which was designed Outlaw by Hsu. The sub is sold direct by Outlaw, and it has gotten some excellent reviews.
