Subwoofer for music only ?

I'm looking to install a subwoofer in my bedroom system, The room size is 13' x 13'. I'm looking at the SVS 1000 Pro, the REL 1205 or the Golden Ear Forcefield 3. or I can use one of these in my HT set-up and move my SVS 2000 into my 2 channel stereo set up. My bedroom set-up consist of a Micro Mega M-100 with AE-509's, just looking to add a little low-end. Any thoughts on which may be a good match?

13 by 13 is a small room... After the king size bed, dresser and tv go in, you may barely have room for a microsub such as the KEF KC62. However, It is a more technologically advanced sub that’s better for small room music than your subs listed above (will integrate better, more extension, etc). It is twice the price, of course.

A subwoofer that can’t get down below 20hz is not a subwoofer, just a woofer. Higher standards is key!

Deep_333, I have a queen bed and no dresser. Bed against rear wall that is sound proof wood slats and stereo against front wall. I had a Paradigm sub I placed under the foot of my bed and it died recently. I'm only using for music, No TV in bedroom.

I would always go with whichever sub gave me the best EQ capabilities.

A REL T5X might be a good option to consider. Can get from Music Direct to audition with money back guarantee.
