Dual subs and or speaker uograde

I have Monitor Audio Gold 300s as my front mains. All Gold speakers 100s for surrounds, 300Gx center, Gold GX rear surrounds.
Paradigm Sub 12 Reference as my sub.

Room is 10'w at front, and 18' wide at rear. 7.5'H, 22' long and 13' from front wall I have my 3 theatre seats,

I feel I need a little more umph for watching concerts on DVD.

I have about 15k to spend.

I am considering dual Persona subs or dual B&W DB1D subs to augment bass.

Other option is Persona 3F with 1 Persona sub ( a little over my budget) or Persona 3F with 1 B&W DB1D sub (on budget) or Persona 3F and 2 SVS Ultra16 subs.

Another options is GoldenEar Triton Reference, but due to 10' front wall with 100' screen, I'd need to put speakers fairly close to front outside walls 10-12"


Appreciate your opinions.

My audio store sells all except GoldenEar. They have given me great service.

My amp and preamp are NAD M27 and M17. I'm happy with the quality of the sound of my Monitor Audio 300s. Great sound. Not enough umph.

Thanks Roger

All the talk about how fast some subs are is pure blather. I can outrun almost all of them.

Won't need to spend anywhere near $15k but go for it if you must. Won't need to though because when it comes to bass more is better than better. In other words don't buy one or two subs with your $15k, buy three or four. 

Hard to believe I know but Duke had a customer with a $30k sub budget who compared and went with four of his Swarm for $3k because it was better than any one or even two subs he could buy for $30k. So if you must spend the money then get four. 

I'm saying this fifteen different ways because its so darn hard to get people to understand. Once they do, every single one who does it is blown away. Basically, there is no amount of money you can throw at this problem that will solve it as good with one as you can easily do with four, and for much less. Do a search. You will see.
