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.

No brainer - haven’t read the other posts just be careful.  Definitely go with two subs if possible and place each one as close to each bookshelf speaker as possible to minimize any timing issues.  Just go small - 8 inch driver.  Rythmik are great so are REL T Zero’s.

I have Raidho XT-1’s and I’ve paired them with B&W PV1D’s and I would put this system up against the best full range floorstanders on the market.

I can also use this to watch movies with outstanding results due to the improved bottom end.  I cross mine over rather high at 80hz at the advise of Raidho.  Call your speaker manufacturer to get tips.
