Small Sub, NHT Sub 8 or Velodyne MiniVee


The question pertains to my bedroom system. I have Kef LS50 speakers and a Hegel 80 connected to a Sonos connect. Bass without a subwoofer was good, actually better than I expected, but I wanted to try a sub. The room measures 13 FT x 15 FT.

I have since added a NHT Sub 8 (rated to 38khz). It is placed in a lower shelving unit with open sides and back. Space is tight, but it works (less than 12" square). I think the sub has been well integrated, adding some fullness to the lower end without being pronounced. The volume is set at less than 50% otherwise the sub sounds too pronounced/out of balance.

Would adding a second NHT Sub 8 further enhance the sound, broadening the sound field? The other option would to change out the NHT for a Velodyne MiniVee. The MiniVee plays lower (28khz), and has a more powerful amp? Any thoughts between the two options? The 3rd choice would be to leave it alone, knowing it sounds good the way it is (albeit, alway wondering if it can be even better).

I bought a used REL Q150e a few years ago for 200 bucks...goes down easily to 25hz, sounds amazing, and one does the job in my medium-large room with aplomb...aplomb...
