The 8C offers a sub out with bass management, so you can add any subwoofer you like.
DSP is mostly just changing output, as long as you aren’t doing anything crazy (such as boosting a high-Q dip by 20dB), it won’t sound off at all. However, room treatment is always recommended over DSP. DSP mostly is combating room modes while room treatment reduces these modes in the first place as well as the overall reverberation time of the room, boosting clarity.
However, do to the cardioid midrange and bass coupling, the 8C needs less absorption panels/bass traps on/towards the front wall compared to a normal speaker, but if you add a sub or two then bass traps on the front wall corners are more needed.
