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.

Hegel H160
SF Concerto speakers on stands.

I currently have a set of KEF LS50’s in a large room, 20’ x 24’ x 9’. They are on stands and I’ve used two different configurations. The first was a set of one cubic foot Klipsch 8” driver with two passives. The second sub sat directly on top of the first. I tuned them together andnthe sound was as a single sub. One coming in lower and the other tuned just a bit higher.
Great sound but I needed to thin my gear. Sold them quick and easy, still miss them. One cubic foot with 350 watts each was a very nice sub. They were 308’s

The second setupmwith the KEFs was with a 10” sun from Klipsch again. 
Side Note; I love the PSA subs I have for my main system but they are huge and multitask for HT.

the 10” sub does a very good job as well and is set up and being used as I type.
Have fun!
