Should I bother to try a subwoofer?

Nrenter,

At least one person here is recommending a crossover point of 80 hz (or higher). Me.

My earlier post explains my thinking. My own experience leads me to believe that high crossover points work best in most rooms, provided extreme care is used in managing the crossover function. I understand you prefer a different solution, but mileage does vary.

The "proper" sub frequency point should depend on the main speaker's low frequency capability and careful listening...if I set the REL too high up into the main speaker territory it gets muddy, untoward, unseemly, tawdry, flabby, unfocused, unrealistic, overbearing, and innacurrate, thus harshing my mellow.

Oh. If you do get a sub or two: find drag racing on tv, turn stereo up as high as courage allows, listen to them launch.
It is really cool the first time.

LOL!!!

Integrating a sub into a two channel system is difficult, but does not have to be. I use a Velodyne SMS-1 equalizer with my system and have great success playing all types of music. I do not have bass boom, droning, or one bass notes that some people are experiencing. It takes a lot of time and effort to get the correct volume, phase, and EQ set properly to listen without having to adjust any settings. Regarding having enough bass, someone is asking for a sub to go with a pair of Wilson Audio Maxx III's in anoher forum. Once you do have a sub setup properly, you can always turn up the bass volume for parties, jamming out, and other reasons to play loud.
