I'd call your room "medium-sized" rather than "small". When a room is much smaller than approx. 10 X 15 X 8, subwoofers and standmounts become the smarter choice.
Since your room is medium-sized, one option to consider might be multiple small subwoofers placed at various points across the room, for smooth and deep bass across a large listening window. It's nice to hear piano sound that fills the room - wide and deep, rather than small and narrow...

Hi and thanks again
Honestly i was not thinking to the multiple subs solution
But i can understand the wide sound window they can provide
My idea is to send to the sub the range from 150 down and use a pair of nice bookshelfs above that
More a bass than a real sub (i think sub is only for very low freq usually below 60 ?)
Kind regards,

You might want to use bipole subwoofers if you plan on stacking small bookshelf speakers on top of the subwoofers. Because of the opposing drivers, bipole subs cancel out their own cabinet vibrations. Which means, less mechanical interference with the bookshelf speakers on top.Unless you stack the bookshelf speakers on top of the subwoofers (or at least keep them very close to their subwoofers), crossing over at 150 hz might make bass info above 80 hz or so seem like a separate source of sound, audibly disconnected from the soundfield created by the main speakers.
