Which subwoofer?


I have a small room (10’x14’) and am wondering if a subwoofer would help. If so, which one?

I have Martin Logan electrostatic speakers with  8” powered 200 watt woofers and 8” passive radiators.  The bass is articulate, but not very deep. I am wondering if I could get more bass volume and depth without loosing detail with an additional subwoofer?
I have tried an 8” Velodyne, but could never integrate it with the Martin Logans so I sold it. 

The Martin Logans are powered by a 200 watt McIntosh receiver. 
Any thoughts?

Audiorusty may be on to something,  while I am in a similar situation as you, my Acoustat  Spectra 33 panels are a bit larger than your ML's , push out a bit more bass. The sub that came with the 33's is Crap. When listening to a bass heavy track,  those panels go down low, then I listen to something with a flatter curve and want more bottom. I have not pulled the trigger but I've been looking at the Schitt Loki Mini + . I've tried to be a Purest,  but with panel speakers and not so good recordings, sometimes you may need just a bit more. For $150 , I would look at this first before spending many times that amount looking for a good ServoSubs x 2...
