Subs were the last component I put into my system, last year....why didn’t I do it to sooner. None of my upgrades made such an improvement as adding subs = nuance, soundstage, depth, presence.
I was listening to an interview by Magico's Peter Mackay on their new S-Sub which are way out of my price point. He made a statement in the interview that caught my eye... "Not ever speaker needs a sub, but every audio room does!" I went to my local dealer...did a session with subs and without in the same system...that was that.
Worked with REL to match my speakers - my goal was for the subs not to overwhelm my speakers (Horns), but to be the background, and to make the room better...it did significantly. As mentioned - matching is critical; also DSP/Crossover simplifies everything.
