Properly set up good subs actually improve the performance of the main speakers but only if there is a high pass which takes a huge load off the woofer of the main speaker(which is why its performance is significantly improved) Some sub such as the RELs do not use a high pass filter so I'm not a fan.
And I'm not a fan of reflex or passive radiator subs. They sound like more bass but it's boomier than a good closed box.
