Hi Big
Only due to the fact that room is 3.6x4.0metres (and I sit near back wall, increased bass position) and the only position I can put the Apex sub is in or a max of 1ft (300mm) from corner. So sub may not give a flat response. With a Veloydne SPL 800ultra sub, its smaller thus may be able to place between cabinet and front speakers as well as corner position. Also the Veloydne has its own EQ (mic etc) system to flatten out bass.
Although as the Apex sub is sealed forward facing drive and the Onkyo rec has EQ system built in it may be ok for my room. Trouble is I may prefernce to have Onkyo EQ (Audessy) setting turned off, no option of turning off EQ settings for rest of speakers and leaving them on for Sub alone. On the Veloyne sub I could toggle EQ setting on and off.
However, if everyone feel the Apex sub will sound better (bigger drive but less power) than the Veloydne regardless of flatt response I will go for the Apex sub. Which seem to be the main opinon so far.

Stuart,
I have the Apex system with the Apex sub, you will not be disappointed with this setup. My sub is on the rear wall behind the settee (see
here).
My old sub did boom at times, but with this setup it is very controlled and not boomy at all.
