2. speakers

Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?

The subwoofer can of worms.
I’d like to add some bass to my otherwise fine 2 speaker setup and have limited space so perhaps a single 10in?
After a few weeks of research the only conclusion I can come up with is - everyone agrees they have to be setup properly. Every brand and technology has their own following and most recommend using 2 (which I don’t want due to space concerns). My room is 12 x 13 ft with box raised ceiling.
After much research, these are the subwoofers I’m trying to pick from, for various reasons:
Rythmik FM8  - lots of hifi fans
JL audio e110 - fantastic support
REL T/9i - sort of a gold standard
KEF R400b - interesting technology, makes me grin. 

I've never heard any of these.
System:
Hegel H160
SF Concerto speakers on stands.

Thx Jl35. I kinda had a feeling that it could help with a fuller sound. I’ll keep my eyes open for some good deals around Oakland.

Modifiers by trying to boost the base could be resolved in two ways in my opinion:

1.  An equalizer
2   Instead of gimmicks and added components, if you could afford it (good used ones are out 
     there) 
     the Klipschorn or LaScala speakers would give you all the base without subwoofers.  Read      specs on these famous speakers.  I was turned onto them by a friend and co-worker 
     Tomlinson Holman, inventor of THX and creative director at Skywalker Ranch.  The 
      LaScalas were his studio monitors.

Has anyone tested the Dynaudio Sub 3 or 6?For just extending the lower frequencies on a 2 channel system they look viable.
