Replacing current sub with another

I am in the process in replacing my current sub with something with better control, meaning tuning and integrating. My option would been a SVS SB-1000 pro. Keep in mind I have a very small room and really the Vandersteen 2ci are more then enough for the need of any music. I have a sub not for output but for quality and and response. I have the tools to tune and integrate the sub with the 2ci so that is not a factor. I currently have the HSU STF-2 and is a great sub but it only has the basic controls so I am limited.

Keep the Hsu and get a second sub, two subs will be easier to dial in.

Or, keep the Hsu and get a DSPeaker 8033 sub equalizer.

Or, get a second sub AND the 8033.

I have HSU and you can do everything you want with a miniDSP

Thank you all for the responses. I like the idea of using the DSP for correction but I really want a sub with DSP or something more controls. Imo, I want to try avoiding  using something in between the signal path of the main and preamp.

OP: 

I think you are mistaking one thing.  You can use a miniDSP without putting anything between your pre and amp, and I've had excellent results that way.

Best,
