Subwoofer or Bi-Amp?

Hello everyone. I was wondering which application makes more sense.

Should I buy a subwoofer or does bi-amping speakers effectively create a subwoofer situation.

It seems to me that using two separate amps, one for the midrange/highs and another for the lows creates a situation where you have a powered subwoofer without purchasing a dedicated subwoofer.

I hope that explanation makes sense. What are your thoughts? Thanks for your help.

Any instrument including bass guitar produces much wider range than subwoofer can do. So without main speakers subwoofer alone will definitely sound dull.
In my opinion powered sub AND finely tuned crossover is better than bi-amping. Even better is to use two subs. But everything should be carefully tuned.
