10 grands for a sub does hurt but better than for pair of cables. I like two subs, I like even more full-range big speakers. So to answer your question - the answer is unknown. It depends.
Adding a sub - what will I loose?
It seems that adding another piece of equipment to the audio chain would degrade the sound quality to the main speakers (air, immediacy, the mid range, etc). Or am I way off here??
Currently have a preamp with no sub-out and low output tube amp. Plan to use line level to the sub and then out to the amp. That way speakers would not play full range (above 80hz).
