Subwoofer to go with Wilson Maxx II's

I'm in the market for a Sub to compliment my Maxx II's. I thought I wanted a powered Watchdog-and still may. I read a review that said it may be-choke-inadequate. Never thought I'd hear anything written about Wilson's with that word in the same sentence. In it's defense, reviewer was referring to below 20hz sound in home theater. I like movies, but my main emphasis is music. Any recommendations or comments about the Watchdog?

Stans on the right track. 'd' amps are a natural for sub duty. Any switching artifacts or need for a Zobel on the output are simple non-starters.

That being said, and I KNOW it is not a match or real alternative...but my HSU will easily shake the house half apart. I can make the windows shake and all the china....in the hutch and on the walls vibrate in sympathy. My sub will cleanly produce the 16hz pedal tone in the Saint Sans symphony 'with organ'.

So, sheer low frequency output is not the deal maker. No, what you need is musicality. For movies? Why NOT replace the Bag End with another? That would be a real good place to start?
