Thinking I need a Sub...

I have some Nola Boxers that sound awesome but some of my favorite music has some fairly deep synthesized bass. At times, I hear the driver distorting and 'doubling over' is that the term?

So, my local high-end shop sells REL subs and I like the idea. I've been thinking of the T-7 or the R-218...

Advise would be great. I have McIntosh MC-60 amps and an Audio Research LS-3...and use an NAD CD player.

My beef isn't with crossovers, and I don't "bash" the idea of multiple subs, I simply (!) say that a single sub without some form of active room correction is a less expensive and often cleaner alternative to running everything through a digital nanny device. I may have seemed to be "bashing," but as an evil and mean spirited maniac, I was merely attempting to draw those with apparent differing hobbyist needs into an impassioned discussion to reveal their insecurities and possible semantic roadblocks.

I look forward to reading if the OP is able to successfully integrate the sub into his system/room and get a better sound. Its obviously possible to do. I just suspect its going to take a fair amount of tweaking, which some audiophiles enjoy.
But for me, I think that its easier to go to a speaker that is designed to be more full range instead of trying to integrate a sub... if the those speakers are well-designed of course.

Either approach has its positives and negatives. Interesting thread.
