Reference strada one or two subs?


I currently have the reference strada side speakers on floor stands and a rel t1 subwoofer. All driven by a rega brio-r amp. Love the sound just maybe lacking a little bit in the low end. Wondering what adding another sub might get me. Any one have any thoughts?? I'm too poor to go for the reference 3.5s but hoping to get some good advice on how to improve the setup. Many thanks!

Many thanks for your helpful comments and experience. How do you have the tr3s wired and what are your settings for the crossover?
The TR-3s are wired from line outputs on my Aesthetix Calypso linestage. Hard to tell what the crossover settings really are, since they are not marked as to frequency, but I have the crossover knobs' pointers set at approx. 12:30, and with the "level" controls usually set at 11:30 in my system. Both are subject to experimentation, but I think this is a good starting point. My main amps are SET monoblocks with 845-type output tubes.
Really helpful. Thanks. Assuming its a linear scale and starting at 30 and ending at 180hz then a crossover around 12:30 should equate to something like 110hz or so it seems. My rel goes up to 120hz so I may try that first. Currently it's set around 80. Also see a tr3 locally that I may pickup and experiment with. Thanks again for the help.
You're welcome. I think you're right about the 110 Hz, or thereabouts. Be sure to check out that TR-3 before buying it. I had QC problems with a couple. Good luck.
