Small or large sub for music


I've been using a pair of Velodyne HGS-10s to supplement KEF LS50s below 50 Hz, but I read that larger subs are better for music because the cone needs excursion.  Is there any truth to this?  I have a pair of HGS-15s that I could use to supplement the LS50s or Reference 1s (below 40 Hz) if I go there.  The HGS-15s do HT superbly.

I thave tried a ML 12 in my 17x22 room, and it was to loud for stereo music, and I found  the stereo image and depth were diminished.  So, I did not go for a sub, but try it, and I am now fixe with it.  But I would suggest to try 2 smaller sub, if you listen in stereo music.  May be it woill work with your room.  So for me, one big sub kill the magic of music.
