Swarming!
Congrats. I have similar same size small room with Kef ls50s and one game but measly Klipsch sub 8” albeit with two additional 8” passive radiators for three drivers total facing side forward and side and I know how good even that sounds. I bought...

Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!
