Sub recommendation for Totem Arro

Greetings,
Can folks recommend a subwoofer to be mated with a pair of Totem Arros? Room is 17x17ft. Will be used primarily for music (mostly jazz, classical, vocal, acoustic), but also for movies. Frequency range of the Arros is rated at 40HZ-20KHZ +-3dB.

I am not looking to shake the rafters. Rather, a sub that will effectively and cleanly extend the range of the Arros. A few options I am currently considering include:

(1) Totem Storm. The was recommended by Totem instead of the DreamCatcher sub that is usually included in their DreamCatcher HT speaker package.

(2) Totem Thunder. Recommended by a local AV dealer as being better for my system than the Storm. He suggested that, given the frequence range of the Arros, the sub needs to be able to reach towards 108HZ.

(3) A used B&W ASW675 that will go for around $500.00

(4) Other commonly suggested subs including Velodyne, AVS and SVS.

Thanks very much in advance for your suggestions.

Dwhitt,
Thanks for the reply. Did you use a sub when you owned the Arros?

For that size room, I would pick the Storm with Arro. For so many reasons...

Zieman,
Mind explaining why you feel The Storm is a good choice?

Thanks.
