2-channel listening with a sub-woofer


Is anyone using a subwoofer for 2-channel listening? Have you ever heard a subwoofer for 2-channel listening?

If so, did the sub integrate seamlessly with the speakers? What sub was it?

When using a subwoofer, is it no longer important for the 2-channel amp to be able to drive the woofers?

For 2-channel, is a sub with a 15 inch driver faster than one with an 18 inch driver?

(say a 15 inch Velodyne DD vs an 18 inch Velodyne DD.

recently I lost my audio system through utter misfortune- a story too complicated and depressing- uninteresting to tell. What I had to do is look for another sort of system which to make due with, and I did. What I got was a sub sat system- 2 little speakers and subwoofer, and much as I initially hated the idea its turned out to be the best little system I have had ever. This is probably heresay. There is something about the tweeters on these satilites I find very appealing, but more importantly the bass -for whatever quality it may be determined to be, is very satisfying! I have a much better sense of scale now. Music sounds more dimentional- has more authority & wieght, and oddly an improved sense of speed. I wont kid you. There is no seamless integration here! This system was right off the shelf & truly not meant for the obsessive..is a bit rough. I am glad to have mis-stepped though because this makes more sense than all my previous efforts have. I now imagine you could do very well by way of 2 channel with sub system.
