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.

I added two REL t9/i subs to my 2-channel.  Being somewhat of a dumb 2-channel purist and wanting to keep everything planar I was resistant to add the subs. 

Ive finally come to accept that I now have separate subs in the room and the sound is fantastic.  Just the right amount of room pressurization allowing for excellent slam in upper base and extension in lower frequencies.

I can try just powering a single sub to see how it compares and get back to you
