I am wanting to add a subwoofer to compliment my existing setup in a dedicated movies\TV\gaming room. Here are all the details on what I currently have:
Center speaker: Klipsch KSC-C1
Front speakers: Bose 301 Series IV
Rear speakers: Bose 201 Series IV
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR603X
Room size: 12’ 8” deep; 20’ wide, 10’ high
Projector: Sony VPL-VW40
Video sources: DirecTV HD and PlayStation 3 Blu-Ray
Screen size: 92”
Viewing distance: 12’ couch to screen

Please recommend a comparably priced (< $200) subwoofer that will go nicely with this setup. I do not like a loud bass, but want something to complete the sound. I have never had a subwoofer before so just having one will be an improvement.
Also, is the 5.1 going to suffice in this case or should I also get 2 more speakers to complete the 7.1? I do already have the wiring in-wall for the 7.1. Thanks for any suggestions.

Forget about 7.1 for now and get the Ed A2-300 for $315 delivered. It will hold you for years to come. Time to start improving the qualiity of your speakers by getting a good subwoofer.
