2. speakers

Subwoofer insight.

This is new territory to me. Current speakers are 2 way with frequency response of 60Hz-20KHz with +/- 2dB.  Sensitivity rated as 86dB. Chance to purchase a pair of REL 7 tis. I feel like I am missing something but will have to buy the subs to try out. My basic question is this. Does this purchase sound wise? I know what I am willing to spend but do you think I will notice an appreciable improvement.  I know that no one can listen through my ears but this is my first time doing this. Source is 75 watt integrated tube amp, McIntosh MA-2275. Thoughts appreciated. I am leaning towards going forward with the deal but would appreciate some feedback. Room is large and open, 28X38 feet with 9 foot ceilings. Thanks for any feedback.

That is a big room, you got anything smaller, you can treat without getting the partner upset? Does it have to be that room? There is no fix without room treatment of some kind, or just use part of the room, Can you use partitions? Fold out while in use and back when not. Servo bass? OB servo bass, pressures the room a whole different way.  If I had a room that big, there would be at least a 1000 lb of speakers, just for the mains and another 1000 pounds for bass units. That put it in better perspective...BIG room, BIG speakers, more work...
