Subwoofer


Looking to add a subwoofer to my 2 channel system. Problem arises in that there is only one location give or take 2 feet in all directions where the subwoofer can be. 

Very large untreated open concept room. 14 ft tray ceilings, about 30 ft by 20 ft. Hardwood floors. Serious WAF. Maybe one day will have dedicated room but for now should I wait, make it "work" with eq, accept the limitations of the location, hope it works?

Suggestions please. Maybe a particular brand addresses this.

Modwright integrated, vintage Thorens, Innuos streamer,  Kef R3. Kef LS50. Usher 530. Watkins.  Ryan R2.

@jpwarren58 , If you try adding just one subwoofer to your current situation you will be very unhappy with the results. I suggest you wait until your circumstances improve. At any rate adding just one sub is never a good idea, Two is the minimum. 

Mijostyn is right for me...

I added ONE sub few years ago, because so good was the Mission Cyrus in the bass  they are not  good up to under 45 hertz and organ music goes under...

I disconnected it the same day and sold it... ( Kreisel k9  sub )

integrating subs is a job of his own...

You left out the single BEST brand of subs to consider for two channel: REL. Why? Is a budgetary constraint? 

I have two Rythmik subs and worked on a few areas for placement. Maybe you can have two quality subwoofers together facing out and place a tabletop on them. Make them a coffee table.  Might be a great conversation piece, Thinking out loud....

Once I would have agreed. In twenty years, I’ve yet to hear decent demo of a REL product, even in $100k systems.

IMO, REL gave up engineering for bling. Most of their line lacks adequate controls to integrate properly.

Far too many conflate more with better.
