Small footprint subwoofer

I am in the process in replacing my current sub for a smaller one. I dont want overwhelming bass that will effect the music. Just articulate, musical bass that will be easy to integrate seamlessly. At the moment, I am about to get a REL R218 to replace a Hsu STF-2. Keep in mind this is in a very small room(10x10x8) so for the reason of getting a small sub. If all goes well, I might consider getting another REL with the same model if available and go stereo pair. What are your thoughts?

Love the REL T5x, perfect invisible extension for Wharfedale 85th Anniversary Lintons.

High level REL connection is a great way to go, because every amp’s final output stage has a sonic “color” that will help your sub disappear as an extension of your main speakers’ bottom end. In my situation, the fast down-firing 8” In the REL T5 melts into the 8” Kevlar woofer of Wharfedale Heritage Lintons. Adds only richness and teeny bit of attack as I’ve got it adjusted.
