2 channel system, would a sub be friend or foe?

First of all let me say I am happy with the sound of my system, I do how ever have an opportunity to try a highly regarded sub in my system. To sub or not to sub that is the question?? The system is in the virtual systems- Tireguy's rig/system or something along those lines. I must admit I am skeptic about the sub, but ya never know! The other thing in the corner of my mind is saving a little more and upgrading to 20.1's from the 3.6's and that would end the debate :) what are your thoughts? ~Tim

If your only trying, not buying, go ahead, it won't kill you. I've always felt it best to leave the whole frequency range in the hands of the speaker designer. IMHO, it is very difficult to blend a sub with speakers on music successfully. I've heard a lot of attempts, but subs should be left to HT use, again that's just my opinion. If it won't cost you anything, it wouldn't hurt to 'play' around with it a little. I would recommend using the lowest crossover level possible.
