Stereo Subs

Hey folks,

I had hoped to upgrade my speakers, but my daughter decided to choose a college that costs us a fortune in out of state tuition with ZERO financial aid, so...

I like my current speakers, but I want a bigger, fuller sound. Some have suggested I try a sub(s). While it wouldn't be my first choice I might be able to swing it past my financial advisor (read wife). My question is, since I have a very small niche in the living room and my speakers will only be about 10' apart, and at best 10' from me, would I get the benefit of stereo subs in that scenario? They would have to be small, such as the KEF KC 162. I'd prefer a wood finished sub, anyone know of one? I see ATC makes one, but it's $3,000 and I don't know if the financial advisor would go for that (maybe one, but not two for stereo). I may as well get the new speakers. When I bought my baby Avalons my dealer said they had the resolution of the bigger ones, but not the bass. I certainly won't be crazy about the looks and the cables, but sacrifice I must!
