How do I know if I need a sub woofer?

Bass reminds me of my drinking days: "I had three beers and felt good, why did I think that three more would make me feel better" 

Oh dear. To address your apparent complete misunderstanding would take too long so I won't bother. You do you.

I provided you with the names of some extremely well informed people to read up. If somebody writes their thesis on this subject then I think it's fair to assume they know what they are talking about. 

Have you read anything from those authors? No I didn't think so.

I will not respond to anymore of posts.

sounds_real_audio OP, I hope you did not suffer too much with all the above. I attempted to explain that all rooms regardless of the speakers' size will benefit greatly from a pair of subs however it seems to have ruffled some feathers.

Good luck in your quest.
