What sub for B&W HTM1d and 802ds?


I have been turning my listening room into a ht and want to get a subwoofer. I realize the easiest thing to do is get the B&W asw 825 or the 855, but is it the best . I am using it for sacd and for the 5.1 outputs on my oppo player . Any suggestions? The room is 16 by 13 by 7ft ceiling. I have put oc 704 on the walls, 12 2x4 panels covered with Guilford of main acoustic fabric. I took out the corners by framing and sheetrocking.The walls are double sheetrock with more ridged fiberglass behind . Its in the basement so I am a little concerned with the concrete slab,How do you move concret?(I had wall to wall carpet installed). I am using 3 VTL mb450 tube mono blocks for the front three channels and a cj mv75 for the rears. Will the 825 or the 855 mix well with the tubes?Thanks Craig

I have 800D and use the 855 for my sub. It's a great seamless combination. For your room, you might be able to do fine w/ the 825. By the way I did try the Velodyne DD15 but that did not match as well as the 855.
