Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?


The subwoofer can of worms.
I’d like to add some bass to my otherwise fine 2 speaker setup and have limited space so perhaps a single 10in?
After a few weeks of research the only conclusion I can come up with is - everyone agrees they have to be setup properly. Every brand and technology has their own following and most recommend using 2 (which I don’t want due to space concerns). My room is 12 x 13 ft with box raised ceiling.
After much research, these are the subwoofers I’m trying to pick from, for various reasons:
Rythmik FM8  - lots of hifi fans
JL audio e110 - fantastic support
REL T/9i - sort of a gold standard
KEF R400b - interesting technology, makes me grin. 

I've never heard any of these.

I use an older Mirage dual 8” sub with a pair of Silverline Minuets.

The sub is turned down to barely kick in and fill out the lows. I used speaker level inputs and cut the lows from the monitors. The system is for bedroom tv sound.

I’m betting you will enjoy and appreciate a sub with your monitors. Worth a try...

Best,
