Add a subwoofer?


I run a pair of Cornwall 1’s driven by primaluna, VPI, and Sutherland 20/20.  Room is 34 x14 x 14 high.  I love the Klipsch, but never felt like they were overly heavy bass.  I’m curious about a subs ability to “fill in” the sound.  I called a dealer regarding REL’s smaller products.  I was told that the Cornwall has huge bass and I’d need a very large sub to notice a difference.   Really can’t afford a quality big subwoofer.  ie thousands of dollars.  Not wanting thumping bass, just fuller sound.  No experience with subwoofers so, ,,,,
Thanks for your input.

soix,

"It offers SO MUCH more than just more bass. Add another sub and you’ll be equally amazed at what it can do. Subs add ambiance and have presence we can’t know until we get a good one and properly set up it up. Turn the sub off and the music and soundstage just shrinks." I couldn't agree more with your post. I often tell people that adding subs isn't just about bass and I believe most systems benefit from "properly" setup subs. I always say, I can't hear my subs, until I turn them off.
