But I am confident that my dealer will optimize subwoofer...

When he delivers new TTs in March!

Phase II, hopefully, will be a new TuneTot optimized sub as 2fast suggested above. Wilson did tell me dealer that a new sub is coming, but no other info was available (including whtehr or not it will be part of the TT ecosystem)
Heard nothing but great stuff about the TuneTots. Everyone who has heard them has loved them.

And, you don't need to wait for Wilson to release a sub to very effectively use a sub in your system, you can use another sub, e.g. REL, JL, SVS, or...KEF.

There is almost always more than one way to mediate a transfer function, and the sub is just mediating a transfer function. The sub is just presssurizing the air in the room at the lower octaves, and the air doesn't care how it's pressurized. What the subwoofer solutions do provide end-user control and features with respect to integration of the sub into your 2-channel system. All the good subs do this very well. There is no magic here....just physics.

You might want to check out the KEF 62...it's small, attractive and very affordable. Check out Darko's review here. You'll likely find it completely meets your requirements. Then, you can hang until (or if) Wilson releases a matching sub, then compare.
