So is it less important to match the subwoofer witch the front speaker than to match the front with center and surround?

Does anybody have any suggestion for a good sub around 400$? What I have found local is: Klipsch (SW-450) for 400$, Boston Acoustics (CS SUB 10) for 330$, Energy (ESW-C10) for 300$, Polk (PSW-125) for 440$ and Paradigm (PDR-10) for 430$. Note that I do not need a sub that will make everything shake since i'm in an apartment but I really want a precise subwoofer that will be great when listening to music.

And if I resume what I understand from all comment I received (thank you all!), tell me if i'm wrong:
1. M22 would be a better choice over the M3
2. Bookshelf M22 would be better as it will give more in the lower end but mix with a good subwoofer, the On-wall M22 would give me a similar listening experience.
3. EP125 and EP175 would barely give enough bass range mixed with the M22 On-wall.

Thanks
