Subwoofer or New Speaker

Subwoofer or New Speaker?
Today I have a pair of Wilson Audio Cube that I use with Audio research VSi60.
Am generally satisfied with the speaker except that I feel it a little thin in the bass.
The question is. Should I buy a newer, modern speaker or a Subwoofer?
(Tried with a REL T1 it felt way too slow.)

The REL uses superior Speakon high-level inputs direct from the speaker(s) where the SBS needs a sub RCA input.

So the room is small. One REL T5i for $600. If you like, buy another.

A pair of REL T5i will transform your experience. As @yogiboy said, sealed subs, especially new higher tech ones are much faster and tighter. Obviously, room size and budget dictate your needs so look at the 7/9/S series. But 2 or more (swarm) smaller subs will be better than one larger.
