To Sub or not to Sub...?

I like the advantage to be able to add a level of bass response as the music moves me ( I got the music in me ).
While I enjoy my small monitors and I will never part with them. Sometimes when I am playing some Beck ( Jeff, I can't take the other )or Etta James I just want to get a little more romp out of it. But when I listen to Antonio Forcione or/with Sabina Sciubba, it is much more satifying to hear the bass that my Dynaudio 1.3 Se's do have instead of taking 20 minutes trying to match the levels only to give up and just listen.

I would like to nominate this for " best" 'most informative threads I've ever read.It really fleshes out the "sub/or not" theorys. For what it's worth;I enjoyed reading everybody! Different opinions"are" necessary. Congrats/y'all- and thanks.

Well,I took the plunge! My third sub / not the sandwich/ I previously had a Velodyne and an Infinity. I got the REl storm 3. I got mine from a dealer. Got all the advice I needed from them. The first one that works,and you can't tell it's there / where it is.This may or may not help. I got new speakers. Went from Aerial10ts to Montana ESPs. The Montana, is better, by a large margin in the treble/mid. But the bass is not near as clean or low. This is what promped me to look for either bi amping; or a sub. The sub is the way to go. Thanks again everybody.

I think the real low bass add nuances and detail. I also think that sub set up is as important as the sub itself.

I was always suspicious over addition of subwoofer into the two channel system. Now, after connecting the ACI Titan along with ACI Sapphire's monitors, i am wholheartedly
going along with the suggestions of the majority. Placement of the is probably hardest thing, but if you have a time and patience it will be worth experimenting with it. Well, i 'talked' to much and haven't said nothing new. As usual.
