Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio

I have a 2 channel audio system, and I appreciate how subwoofers have augmented the sound quality of my system (with electrostatic speakers).  I currently am using a pair of Martin Logan Balanced Force 212 subwoofers, but I’m thinking about adding more subwoofers for a total of four in order to help balance the low frequency sound waves.  I’m considering adding a pair of Rythmik, SVS, or perhaps Velodyne subwoofers to the system.  Does anyone have experience with many of those brands, and how well they integrate with electrostatic speakers in a 2 channel system, or perhaps should I just get a second pair custom built with certain specifications?  
Thanks.

Hi drbond, thanks for the question...

This servo sub replaced 2 $900ea Paradigm "Cube" -  10" subwoofers in this small dedicated studio:  Rythmik L12 - sealed HT sub (rythmikaudio.com)

Texas to Maine was $629 delivered.  This upgrade was months ago and I am still startled on occasion by its speed, depth (room responds slightly to 20Hz test tone!) and superb musicality overall...improving all frequencies...yes, research the importance of an accurate deep bass foundation in audio. 

A long-time friend who made his first visit from Massachusetts recently was appropriately wowed.  He has focused on subwoofers and their design for decades, including DIY.  More info can be found in my posts.  The choice for the Rythmik came after much research and the advice of two channel, seasoned, music lovers.  Mare on the topic can be found in my posts.  Onwards!          More Peace         Pin            (bold print for old eyes)
