Subwoofers are the devil’s own children. Well done they can be glorious, but otherwise are real prissy beasts to integrate correctly.
What I think makes the most important difference to music and movie lovers is the quality of the auto-calibration, if any. JL right now has what I consider the best.
If you are going to get some average sub without an excellent room EQ I strongly encourage you to forego that and instead stick with full-range speakers.
On the other hand, if you find yourself with curiosity, time and energy, you can go another route.
Also, if you can get them, bass traps are really helpful in making rooms more speaker and sub friendly.
Best,
Erik
