Emotiva or SVS subwoofer for home theater?

Hi - my home theater is coming along and I need to decide upon a subwoofer - perhaps add one more at a later date but I need to start with one.

The equipment I have is
Emotiva ERT 8.3 Reference Towers (2)
Emotiva ERM 6.3 LCR Monitor (1)
Emotiva UMC-1 Processor (1)
Emotiva XPA-5 Amplifier (1)
Emotiva XPA-2 Amplifier (1)
and also I have four Paradigm ADP390 surround speakers.

The room measures13 foot wide, 19 foot long and has 9' ceilings.

I have looked at the Emotiva Xref 12 $699 (sealed) versus the SVS PB12NS $769 (ported).

We will be using the room probably 90% or more for movies - usually action.

Thanks for your help - looking forward to hearing from you!

Ollie.

Another option would be a HSU Research VTF-3 MK4. I had a VTF-2 and was a great sub. Can go down to 22 hz in extention mode and produced it clean.

I have not tried the Emotiva nor the SVS sub but heard great thing about the SVS.
