I agree with Bruce with respect to the quality metrics of an individual subwoofer.
I'd like to also bring to your attention the concept of multiple subwoofers. I believe that is the most effective thing you can do to achieve good bass response in your home.
A single subwoofer can only possibly sound good in a few places in the room, and even those few places won't be great. Add another subwoofer and sound quality improves dramatically. Add two more and you'll get bass that can't be beat.
There are several threads on the topic of multiple subwoofers, and of the ways to set them up. Look for stereo flanking subs and distributed multisubs. This is the way to get great sounding bass in your home.
