Proac Response 2.5 and subwoofer ?

Someone just gave me a cheap Sony 100W subwoofer and I hooked it up to my system. Jeff Rowland integrated amp, Arcam FMJCD23 and the Proacs.

It sure sounds better to me and just wondering if I'm nut's. Also since it does sound better would getting a good subwoofer equal to the rest of my system make an even better difference.

Use this mainly for two channel audio, but also for movies. Strictly two channel.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Louis

some people here may come to your home and take your audiophile license for this...but yes, I had the same experience with Acoustic Energy Ae2s and a single, then a pair of Cambridge Soundworks subs. I wanted to it to sound bad, but to my surprise I enjoyed it.

Oh. sorry not to answer your question, but in my situation, I first used a Onkyo home theater powered sub and when I found postive results I went to the Cambridge Sound Works ones.

I say that if you are happy with the Sony, go with it, using a better quality sub, I have found is not always fool proof. In another system of mine, I used a REL Storm III and felt it had a negative on the over sound of my Micheal Green Chameleon Speakers which are floorstanding full range.
