    Some would suggest you don't......you already have powered subs built into the the 25's. Try it out if you like. Just make sure the vendor has a thirty day return policy. I would get one locally...wouldn't want to have to ship it back if I didn't need it.
    B&W 804s mains
    B&W HTM4 center
    Polk PSW 1000 sub
    Outlaw 990 Pre Amp
    Anthem MCA 30 Amp
    Monitor Radius 180 surrounds
    Audiosource Stereo Amp for surrounds
    Denon 2910 Universal DVD/SACD Player
    Comcast DVR
    Pioneer Elite 42" Plasma 940 HD
    Harmony Universal Remote

    I would consider 15's and a separate sub if you haven't purchased the speakers already.

    I would guess that adwe2 already has the LSi25, LSiC and LSiFX (all very nice speakers, congrats).

    And yeah, get a sub.
    Do you hear that buzzing noise? :confused:

    Yep - for HT you need a real sub (and no, the one that came free with your 25's doesn't count as one....)

    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
    Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
    Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)
