Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?


I thought using a 12 inch b&w asw 2000 sub would b good to allow my b&w 804 d3’s to better handle freq above 80 hz (ie. benefit from sharing burden).  I am not sure this is prudent as my well powered 804s can probably handle those lower frequencies just fine, and may make them sound better vs cutting them off from flowing thru the 804s.
My Stereo listening is done by streaming thru a nucleus connected via usb to a chord Hugo tt2 and then to a marantz 5014 via coaxial, then to a McIntosh mc255 and then off to speakers referred to above

 Does excluding sub from stereo make sense?

A properly set up sub can give you increased clarity in the mid range, more detail in the bass, a larger soundstage and increased center focus. Wouldn’t be without one.
Are your B&W 804 D3 speakers a part of a home theater system and positioned in that general fashion?

Are you currently using the LFE 80 Hz connection to your ASW 2000 subwoofer? 
No, but I would not be adverse to trying one.  I have a very inexpensive one on my TV surround sound system and it seems to be OK.

Cheers!

I am using two HSU ULS-15s to augment a pair of Klipsch Cornwall IVs. I am running the CW IVs full range and bringing the sub in @ 35 Hz. Excellent integration and it only barks when the occasion calls for it.
