Replacing current sub with another


I am in the process in replacing my current sub with something with better control, meaning tuning and integrating. My option would been a SVS SB-1000 pro. Keep in mind I have a very small room and really the Vandersteen 2ci are more then enough for the need of any music. I have a sub not for output but for quality and and response. I have the tools to tune and integrate the sub with the 2ci so that is not a factor. I currently have the HSU STF-2 and is a great sub but it only has the basic controls so I am limited.

Thank you all for the responses. I like the idea of using the DSP for correction but I really want a sub with DSP or something more controls. Imo, I want to try avoiding  using something in between the signal path of the main and preamp.

@gdnrbob I was thinking of the 2wq awhile back but I never able to find one in my area. The HSU sub does pretty good in my system but I wanted a little more control.

Yes I do agree DSP does introduce some signal latency from encoding and decoding and as long it is away from the main signal chain, it should be ok.

@gdnrbob Thanks for response. I will keep in mind about the 2wq.

What limitation are you referring to?

@gdnrbob I dont understand by what you mean certain frequencies get attenuated? I am assuming you are referring to room nodes.
