2-channel listening with a sub-woofer


Is anyone using a subwoofer for 2-channel listening? Have you ever heard a subwoofer for 2-channel listening?

If so, did the sub integrate seamlessly with the speakers? What sub was it?

When using a subwoofer, is it no longer important for the 2-channel amp to be able to drive the woofers?

For 2-channel, is a sub with a 15 inch driver faster than one with an 18 inch driver?

(say a 15 inch Velodyne DD vs an 18 inch Velodyne DD.

I recently auditioned a pair of Vandersteen 2CE sigs without and later with one vandy 2wq sub....BIG difference...BIG difference, and for the better. It added a sort of relaxed, ease & fullness to the sound. I liked it, alot.

Maybe using a sub in a 2-channel setup is a personal preference thing (like most everything else in audio..I always thoughts subs in 2 channel setups were fairly common), but after hearing the (very positive)difference a sub can make, it sounds like something is missing without one(no pun intended).

I'm looking to pick one up...it's next on the list.
