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?

B-stock SVS SB-1000 Pro could be a way to get two. Or a single B-stock SB-2000Pro. These new Pro versions have an app that allows you to adjust the bass using a graphic equalizer

My bedroom is of similar dimensions and is where I have my 2.1 system mainly used for streaming Netflix and the like.

I use an Arendal sub 1961s with my Magnepan LRS+.  The aesthetics and performance based on reviews is why I chose it.  Check out the reviews on Audioholics, Nemo Propaganda and the like.

JL Audio advertises an inwall sub.  I have not experienced them, but I would investigate.

I've been using a pair of older (bought used) RELs for years...a Q150e (10" front firing 150 watts), and a Q108MK2 (8" down firing 100 watts). They work absolutely perfectly and cost around 200 bucks each. These RELs seem to have more adjustability than new ones. In any case they are extremely "musical" in the sense that they just disappear into the music, and help keep standing waves from mucking up the situation.

Awww long-time Rel owner, I would also recommend the T5x or T7x models. 
plenty of low end extension and very well-controlled drivers.
