Subwoofer for classical music listener

This is my second post on the subject of subwoofers.
My first post wasn't specific enough.
I listen to classical music 90% of the time.
Are there any classical music listeners out there who have subwoofers?
if there are, could you let me know what you have?
i don't imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music, but I may be wrong.

Now that I have my speakers and subwoofer are more or less in balance, I have another question.  I'm connecting them with cables that are probably too long (25') and very inexpensive (about $100 for 4 individual interconnects) that I bought from SVS.
Would this type of connection benefit greatly with better cabling?
Would it be worth investing in more expensive cables?
I'm happy with the current sound, but, you know, we're always wanting more!
 I don't want to go crazy with exotic very costly cables, but I'm just asking.

rvpiano- looks like you've traveled quite far on your sub journey.

Have you experimented with a power cable yet? I hear  noticeable difference when I swapped the stock cord. The "shape" of bass notes present themselves as more believable.

Naturally.. .YMMV

tablejockey:  Yes, I've come a long way.  Still traveling.
Thanks for he tip. 
Where would I attach the power cable?

The reason I'm asking about connecting cables is that I'd like to smooth out the highs which are a little bright.

Yup, cables can make difference.
I forgot what you are using for your speakers and don't want to hunt through this long thread.
Also, what lengths are you looking for? 25' will definitely put a damper on sound quality-especially if you are using inexpensive cables.
Almarg gave me a good recommendation for sub cables.
