Pairing Magicos with a sub

I found lots of discussion around subwoofers, but in most of rhe cases they are about pairing a sub with speakers with limited bass extension. I am curious does anyone have experience pairing Magico S5 or similar speakers, which go quite low, with a sub(s). I have the S5 and I am wondering if I add a sub can I improve the dynamic when listening at low levels. Although the S5 is pure joy to listen at higher volume levels, often I feel to tired for this and prefer enjoying not very loud music. This is the only reason I started to think adding a sub. After some research my potential choice is the Rel G1 Mark II. 
I will appreciate your thoughts on this.

Magico makes the best commercial subs you can buy. Stick with them. Why corrupt great speakers with subs not up to the job. Will it increase dynamic expression at low volumes? You bet. Ideally you will need two of them but you can start with one especially if you are in a small space.
Back in med school I was in a high rise apartment building and obviously could not play loud.The addition of a sub woofer made music much more enjoyable at lower volumes. I could feel the music again.
