Dependant on the size of your room, the RSW12 would be a good match if you can still find one k coking around. Failing that a RXW12 IMO.

Great subs which match any kind of home cinema setup i think is 'rel' the tonal balance on rel subs is amazing, rel subs give you clean bass, something like the t1, others might not agree, but the rel t1 also has a neutrick high level input-which is a lead connection, you can connect to your front speakers, so the sub also receives bass from your front speakers as well as the main lfe signals pulling the films soundtrack together more, i put my rel sub just inbetween my front speaker and it performs amazing with out any unnecssery bass drone at all throughout any film or music i play, in that postion i can also bring the crossover higher on the actual sub to create much more impact with that arrangement. thats how i've created very good sound, i owned the monitor audio rsw12 subwoofer it clouded my whole system with unwanted, unclean bass. rel only make subbass systems and they are perfect ( well your never get perfect, your only improve )

Depending on budget i can recommend BK xxls 400(£425) for the money unless your buying secondhand nothing comes close, excellent with music and v.good with movies in a room that size you will not be dissapointed only downside is that you will not be able to audition and only go on peoples word for it. my room is 4.2mX8m and it is more than a match.

I listen to anything from say the gladiator soundtrack to dubstep and for the money never fails to impress. Some of us want a sub to underpin a soundtrack or piece of music and when the wife's out!! let it rip and get the house shaking and this one can with ease. Best AV purchase i have made.

My room size is similar and have just ordered a BK Monolith

The BK XXLS 400 is very neat and should integrate well with your set up I would have thought

Though having agreed an MA RSW/RXW12 would integrate well, I'd also recommend a BK XXLS400, which is what I'm thinking of getting for my MA setup. Though, I would be tempted to check with BK directly about room size, they're very helpful...
