How much budget for bass?


I think I may have been thinking about this all wrong. If Bass is the foundation for music how much of your speaker budget should be applied toward a sub? I was thinking the sub was just to enhance the mains but maybe it is the other way around? never heard a sub properly setup for music so what are your thoughts? thanks,Scott

I agree with what's been said here, except I think the price tag for good bass in full-range speakers starts at about $3000, closer to $5000 (new).

Again, it all depends on your budget, and if you're buying new or used. Anything under $800 used, I'd start with a good pair of two-way monitors and go from there. Add a sub later. Or later on get a pair of full-range speakers and make the monitors your surround speakers or sell them. Etc.
