I agree. And two is better than one. REL makes great subs. The high level connection is, in most cases, the way to go.
I just posted in another forum about how I dialed in one sub (T5i) for my system/room. Essentially, put the sub in your listening position, put on some bass heavy music, then move around the room (you may have to crawl to get your ears at the right level) until you find a spot where the bass sounds good. Then put your sub there, and go back to your listening position and see (hear) how it sounds. This will work for your listening position, but if you want the whole room to sound good you will likely need two to cancel out the low frequency resonance peaks and pressurize the room more evenly).
DSP and acoustic room treatments are also good options, but can get expensive and a bit tedious to dial in (plus room treatments may not fit in with your decor, etc.). And if you are playing vinyl (and why wouldn't you with a 300B and Klipsch speakers), would you really want to digitize your analog signal (it would probably sound great, but it kind of goes against the "gestalt" of your old-school tube and horn system)?
I'm not so sure if adding subs will yield better imaging or "focus" or tame treble at all, but it will certainly add deeper bass and more "fullness" to the sound. A cheap experiment would be to try out a Schiit Loki ($150.00). If you don't like it, send it back for a small re-stocking fee. You'll probably keep it.
