    I haven't heard any of them, but i'm inclined to think the 4000 would be the best of the three.

    Like metal said, the 4000 would be the best of the 3. Any of them will work well though. If budget allows, I say go for the 4000.

    Preamp: Joule Electra LA-150 MKII SE
    Amp: Wright WPA 50-50 EAT KT88s

    If you are buying one subwoofer go for the largest, and most powerful model in the Polk line. You have the option of turning the volume down on the subwoofer, which will make it run with less distortion with all that extra headroom. Cross the subwoofer over low, where it belongs, and the thing will disappear into a thing of beauty.:D
    Buy Polk ****!:D

    Polk 4000 is a fine sub. But if you want to save some bucks spend that amount of money on a sub by Velodyne, SVS, HSU, etc. Companies that mostly 'do' subs, unless you're committed to Polk. In which case the 4000--if you can afford it!
