will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio


hi. my question is: will adding a subwoofer to my audio system improve overall performance, soundstage, clarity, etc. my system is: jm labs focal 918's(8' triangle between speakers, and away from listening chair), bat amp and pre amp, rega saturn cd player, running springs power conditioner, jps audio interconnects, kimber kable speaker cable. i have a small listening room, and am thinking the sub would help. also, any sub recomendations? i'm thinkin rel, jl audio, or b&w. thanks for the input, gil

I've only stumbled late unto this thread and as far as my personal experience with all sorts of sub systems goes, I find Newbee's advice excellent. For all it is worth I have nothing to add or subtract from it, except if properly set up, it may give you some more sound stage clues - not affect the sound stage per se - often more felt than heard, if a really good sub is integrated well with the rest of your system.
