Which sub would you choose?

My first thought on the subs you last mentioned, is "great for music potentially, but no grunt for HT!" Everyone's experience here may be different, but I think the woofers you're considering will be more designed with music as a priority in mind. Smaller rooms might do better with more delicate music subs with higher Q factor with HT. But Slamm, impact, and authority might suffer in more agressive and ambitious HT and music set ups! I guess it depends on your needs and applicaitons.
For me, I like subs that can GROWL for HT, and still remain tight and musical. The more expensive Revel B15, M&K MX series subs(depending on room size), Paradigm Servo 15(baragin for HT and music at $1600 new!), And the single standing Infinity Prelude MTS subs with Paramtric EQ (like Revel B15), are dynamight audiphile grade subs overall! For affordable, fast, musical sounding subs for all medium, I think the Servo 15 and NHT Sub 2 are hard to beat for the money!
Good luck

Thanks for the feedback. I would love to here from someone who has actually heard the Mimos. I think I will take my time and look at everything I can at the CES show in Jan. Rivecitylad

check out the Piega speaker system featured in this months Home Theater Mag. The woofer is 3095.00. I'm replacing a Revel System on Saturday sub and all.

I'm not sure how much money you wanted to spend, but check out the Vandersteen V2W sub in a dealer demo. It's what I've got in my 5.1 home theater and I love it! Sells for $1200 new. It actually received 5 stars in practically every category in Widescreen Review Magazine subwoofer review issues last year. One of the only subs that scored higher was the Revel B15, which is an awesome sub but much higher in price. Good luck to you.

When you mentioned Rel I felt you were on the right track. The Rel Subs are incredible for music and excellent for HT as well. The Rel will allow for easy setup into your system by allowing both a high pass and low pass signal to be hooked up at the same time. This means no tweaking when switching from HT to 2 channel and visa versa. The Rel subs are sometimes looked down upon for HT because they lack "slam". What they really lack is distortion. My Rel creates a bass so low that you feel it inside you instead of hearing it at loud levels. Some dislike this but I tend to find it "accurate". Put a couple Stentor IIIs in your room setup by a professional and you may need to look into learning home improvement skills to fix your walls.
