In my instance, with my WP8's, I have good bass, but the room allows an emphasis node I think I could calm with a couple of subs and am trying to decide what size I need. Since my Wilson's have two 8 inch woofers per side, I was thinking that getting a couple of ten inch subs might just be the ticket for my room, but maybe a couple of twelve inch subs might be the way to go. I might play with some Elac wireless subs since they are relatively inexpensive. Anyway, I don't mean to derail the thread.

No problem, for me, take it where you want to go!
I'll have some more information to add about how these two particular subs work within my room in a week or two, but I don't think it's woofer size per se that defines many salient differences.
The interactions between the room and the subs is one aspect of performance, integrating them with the main speakers is another. If all else is equal, the room is a huge factor and probably outweighs something like trying to decide between any two or more devices based just on woofer size. It's a whole new discipline for me because it has so many variables and constraints.
I think I have a good room, but not a great room. I wish it was bigger and that I had more money! I have other wishes but nobody wants or needs to hear them
