What is the best powered subwoofer for a 5.1 home theater?

My Cambridge already has a non-powered subwoofer, and I've found that the bass is not as robust as I'd would like. My system is not only used for theater, but for music such as jazz, rock and blues.

There are a lot of great choices out there...
