Different brand/model Sub(s) integration

I have an all analog setup, the speakers are 2 Tannoy Kensington and one REL s/510. 

I have a room mode at around 30Hz, that I can't fix regardless the REL's location. The only viable solution I can see is to add another sub, because the REL does not have DSP and no bass-trap can effectively absorb it.

Do I need to add another s/510 or I would be better off adding another brand with DSP so I can null the room mode?

I'd go with another brand and or model. Different resonance frequencies are a good thing. For me it would be a larger one that goes down lower in frequency, but whatever you can afford would be an improvement. You're also going to need to experiment with various sub locations in your room.

I think you need more than one sub, at least 2, the more subs will reduce your dead zone. Absolutely use a crossover with a high pass filter to your main stereo speakers.

+2 oldhvy - No bottom firing subs and yes on servo subs if you can afford.
