How do I know when to use a subwoofer?


Thinking of getting a Rel S/812 sub. Now have Tetra 606 $30K speakers that go down to a true 27Hz. I feel that I may need a sub and that I should be able to get more impact out of my system with one.
I mostly think of more excitement when using the system as a 2.1 theater system at night. Although it should make my music listening improved as well. I like the Rel way of allowing the main speakers to play full by the connection to the amps. However, I do like to think that my Tetras produce “natural” lows and I should be quite happy with them.

Our impression of being immersed in a performance venue is dependent on more than just music. For instance, when listening to many of the performances in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's live recordings, one can hear  all sorts of low frequency reverberant hall sounds and information from the stage that aren't part of the musical performance but definitely are part of the experience you have listening to live music.
