Adding Sub to current system

I currently have a pair of Sonus Faber Electa speakers. These speakers have 6" and 1" drivers respectively and have a 1st order crossover. The popular magazine test disk demonstrate the speakers go down to about 40HZ. I'm interested in what I'm missing below 40HZ besides just a non-musical "BOOM". I know for a price musical Sub's are available, but would it be an exercise in futility trying to integrate a Sub into my system? The spot I would choose for it would be to the left of my speakers in a corner - your thoughts please!

My amplification is by Krell and I found a spot next to a chair where the Sub would be open in front and back, and yes, I have heard good things about Rel - thanks!

Sounds like some expertise is required in implementing a sub with smaller monitor speakers. The Sonus Faber speakers sound very good and I don't want to mess it up. One procedure was mentioned on this thread, yet I wonder if there is a standard approach to connecting the sub, there is also the cost of IC's to the sub if it's at a distance. My current location idea is about two meters from my system, however I wonder about vibration, maybe if the sub I choose accepts speaker wire connect from my amp connected right to the speaker outputs??
Thanks,

One last point, my $ for a sub is limited to around $750, hoping to find something on Audiogon, am I wasting my time?
