Just read your owner’s manual. As mentioned in the manual, you can still hook up a sub via the Pre amp outputs, no problem. Some trade-offs would occur either way that in the end won’t matter. It’s speaker level subwoofer connections that should be avoided, and I dislike those anyway.
Also, since this is a small room, you’d be surprised how much bass you can get from smaller when properly treated. You don’t have to try to shoe-horn in a large Wilson or Nola.
Treat the room first. Get a very high quality two or two and a half way and THEN evaluate the need for a sub.
No one ever takes my advice though. They try to get the largest speaker they can physically accommodate and then suffer muddy bass.
When you go to your next show, pay attention to rooms that sound great while you are still in the hall. You'll notice they are the one's that have better room treatment.
Best,
Erik
