what sub would be best? B&W, MARTIN LOGAN, DEFTEC


I am replacing a older polk sub,
I listen to mainly rock and country, also will use as my home theater sound as well. I want a sub I can truly count on to be there and give me that grab you by the ass bass that a good system has. I run polk RTI 7 as mains and older rm series as rears. with a klipsch reference series center all being pushed with a pioneer elite 52. My choice for subs would be:

Definitive Technology - SuperCube 4000 8" 1200-Watt Powered Subwoofer

Bowers and Wilkins - 10" 200-Watt Powered Subwoofer

MartinLogan - Dynamo 700W 10" 600-Watt Subwoofer

any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

If you get a 10" Logan, buy the earlier Dynamos used, it's what I have. They're sealed rather than ported and by all accounts more accurate than the current model. For what you'll save buying used, for the money you can get two, always better sounding than one sub. I saw one for sale the other day at a very attractive price, it may still be up.

At the opposite extreme, consider this, it's more expensive at $850 but highly regarded and it will take you all the way down to 20 Hz with good output and servo control:
