You have a fairly large area to cover and you want a musical, clean, accurate,deep display from the subwoofer - my recommendation is the EP500

http://www.axiomaudio.com/ep500.html

the DSP is the key - This unique circuit allows the subwoofer to:
- be exceptionally linear
- play without audible distortion over its entire frequency range at full output - use all of its power to produce clean sound
- turn on and off instantly its amplifier upon the presence or absence of an audio signal

Contrary to conventional subwoofers which try to correct distortion once it has a reached a certain distortion threshold; Axiom DSP circuitry monitors and analyses the incoming audio signal, a digital roadmap if you will, allowing it to be perfectly reproduced within the limits of its components. It assures not only a playback free of audible distortion but the entire power of its amplifier is used uniquely to reproduce sound.

Does the DSP potentially provide power savings as well? I'm becoming rather concerned about the amount of power my system uses just sitting around in standby, especially when I walk by the cabinet in the dark and it's lit up like a Xmas tree.

I always shut mine down. The only lights left on, are some dim panel lights on my surge suppressor/power conditioner.

I can't see how having a DSP amp would mean any powering savings, as the DSP is only for when it is running. The amp and standby electronics design would be where any savings would come from.

The amp on my EP500 V2 from 2006 is always warm to the touch when not being fed a signal. I have a Kill-a-Watt meter and it measures 16 watts in standby.

so, at 16 watts in standby hmmmmm at 15 cents a Kilo/w/per hr
my calculations are it would have to be in standby for 62.5 hrs to use one kilo at a cost of 15 cents.
I guess that is 15 cents every three day so it would come to about $1.60 per month. that's if it isn't turned on.

Why not use the trigger? i use the trigger on my EP600, so the amp isn't on when the rest of the system isn't on.....
