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

Yes, but I suspect without ever having done it, that you can 'oversub' a room.
How small is a 'small listening room'? CUBIC FEET counts.
Just for reference, check out HSU Research site which has a 'recommended sub' size chart based on room size. That'll give you the idea.
