IMO "Audiophile Bass" should mean a flat response as low as you can get. Not a big subwoofer going thump thump thump with a 10-20+ dB bass boost. That is for kids and home theater.
There is a place for subwoofers in some systems. But they should be crossed over to match where your main speakers start to tail off. Just like the crossover point for your drivers and tweeters. You shouldn't notice any humps and everything should have a flat response.
