I remembered that you had subs over the years, seems like you had Tent Sale 2245's didn't you? Then again, even if you did, those are huge. I also seem to recall you had a Titanic sub or two. Any of those would work just fine. Or maybe build smaller boxes with good quality 10" or 12" woofers, the kind usually marketed as car subs.
You could probably build some pretty small subwoofer cabinets that sounded great, sacrificing some efficiency in trade for the small size. Just push 'em with an inexpensive T-Amp, or maybe a garage sale find. Plenty of decent amps and receivers out there that would work great for subs.
If you had one sub in the corner, back behind and to the left of your left main speaker and another behind the right speaker, pushed back to the wall between the curtains and the door, they'd probably work great. That's kind of similar to how I had my room setup at LSAF last month:
You would run the mains all the way down, and then just low-pass the subs around 100Hz with a relatively gentle slope. That's basically the same setup I use, and I have a funny little crossover that just works great:
