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?

I have a terrific Velodyne HGS10BG (10" woofer in black gloss) that I've had for years, but it has just sat, unused and unsold because it's extremely heavy and would be very expensive and a pain to ship.  It's a high-gain servo model that can keep up very well with the electrostatic panel.  I also have a pair of 18' AudioQuest woofer interconnects.  But I don't know how to give you my contact information; I'm afraid it would deleted by Audiogon.

I used this subwoofer with the Martin Logan Monoliths (one of their very first models), and it worked great.  The Monoliths were just that---Monolithic and HUGE!  I think the electrostatic panel was 4' by 2'.

After I sold the Monoliths, I had no use for the Velodyne, so it's just sat unused.  But it works great!

Look up the Martin Logan Monoliths online to see what they looked like.  Also look up the Velodyne HGS10.

If you know a way to enter contact information on Audiogon, let me know.  I would sell it all to you....for 1/2 of what I paid (or we could discuss).
