Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers?

Still enjoying my Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs in our den where I mostly listen to jazz. However…I had a nostalgic experience tonight and streamed up some Def Leppard and cranked it LOUD.  With this kind of rock, I am missing a little of the bass I remember from my school days. Got me thinking, how many of y’all are running a subwoofer in your stereo setup with floorstanding speakers?  What do you think?  Any issues with sound distortion?

First step would be to upgrade power amp. Then the rest of the audio chain.

Adding subs is a complicated matter and a final step, if needed.

bigtex22, I am not familiar with your equipment and can't know if the amp is enough for the speakers. But I didn't mean just power ratings, it is much more than that.

If you go subwoofer route to begin with just make sure you can return the subs in case you don't like what you hear.

Of course, the room is always extremely important.
