Research for subwoofer

I have Bryston model T bookshelf speakers connected to a Luxman 509 that plays high res "Qbuz" music, jazz, pop, classical. ETC.   I am considering agreeing a sub but would like some opinions of what might work well with this set up.  The sub would have to go on the floor, could be powered or not.  Would like to build more of a stage with additional bass. 

Thoughts?

Thanks Dave

AudioKinesis Swarm 4 sub array: https://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html

Below is an REW spl graph (1:12 smoothing) showing useful output to 20Hz in a 28 x 18 x 8 ft room with the Swarm.

While many subs can get you to 20Hz, multiple subs of any make will get you there with a flatter frequency response and fewer room modes. More data available on my virtual system page.

++2 Rythmik - any of them...  I also have a SVS 3000 micro - but it is for a unique application.  I have owned REL - very good - but Rythmik is very impressive and musical/articulate.

@tcutter that scale is laughable. smoothening for bass should be in the 1/24 1/48 range

@kuttler, Do you have line (low) level (preamplifier outputs) on your receiver, integrated amplifier or preamplifier?

If not you"ll want to mention this during your search.
