Add a subwoofer?

I run a pair of Cornwall 1’s driven by primaluna, VPI, and Sutherland 20/20.  Room is 34 x14 x 14 high.  I love the Klipsch, but never felt like they were overly heavy bass.  I’m curious about a subs ability to “fill in” the sound.  I called a dealer regarding REL’s smaller products.  I was told that the Cornwall has huge bass and I’d need a very large sub to notice a difference.   Really can’t afford a quality big subwoofer.  ie thousands of dollars.  Not wanting thumping bass, just fuller sound.  No experience with subwoofers so, ,,,,
Thanks for your input.

You might want to consider a mighty 8” wonder from B&W, the ASW608. In the video below a gentleman tells of how well the ASW608 blended with his Cornwalls.

I don’t have Cornwalls but I decided to try them in my system. I added two and they are excellent. B&W provides some very good basic DSP options on it for ease of blending with your speakers. They are small, unobtrusive and made well. For an idea of how they look check out my system pictures.


Adding the subs has been the best thing I have done for my system.
