Recommended Sub

Hello All,
I'm currently thinking of adding a subwoofer to my set up. I'm currently running tsi 500's in the front, CS10 centre, and tsi 100's in the back. I've got all this running through a Pioneer VSX 520, though at some point I'm hoping to upgrade the receiver (I'm thinking Denon 4300h, but that's probably a whole other discussion).
Anyway, I quite like the speakers. They sound great for music, and the tsi500's put out enough bass for my liking on that front. However, I find low frequencies lack punch for movies. Unless the volume is turned up, I find the sound a little flat. I've been thinking that a subwoofer might fix that issue and give a little depth.
I'm in a pretty small apartment with carpeting (not sure what the exact measurement is). So I'm not looking to P/O the downstairs neighbours or rattle any windows. Recommendations on what sub to go for? Also, I can't say I have a budget yet.
Cheers

Any sub is going to be heard by your neighbors, even a cheap one.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

SVS PB-1000 or SB-1000 depending on preference. HSU VTF-2 MK5 would also be a good choice.

Some nice Presidents Day deals in the SVS outlet store. To the OP, SVS offers a 45 day no questions asked return policy and free shipping both ways. Nothing to lose IMO..

Don't listen to the previous three posters. They don't know what they're talking about.
Awesome, sub-frequency effects without annoying the neighbors:
