Vandersteen V2W or 2WQ

I am trying to build my first home theater setup.

My current set up is as follows:

Lexicon DC-1
Vandersteen 2CE sigs
Vandersteen VCC1
NAD 2700THX for the mains and NAD 2600A for the Center

I am trying to decide which of the two above woofers would work best with my setup. Also, the pros/cons to each? I will primarily use this for movies. I am leaning towards the V2W. Any thoughts would be appreciated. How does Velodyne subs compare?

By the way, what is a good subwoofer cable to use from the subwoofer output of the Lexicon DC-1 to the V2W if I go that route?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

If your primary goal was music reproduction, you would be best served with the 2Wq. It is a very "musical" subwoofer. Since your primary goal is HT, you need to get the V2W. It is much better suited to explosions/train wrecks/cannon-fire than the 2Wq.

AudioQuest makes some subwoofer cables that mate perfectly with the V2W. The cables even have a built-in drain wire setup.
