Do subwoofers really help?

No, it's smarter to get a better amp. Why would anyone try to match speakers to an amp?

I find speakers I like...and then buy the amp they need (unless my current amp works fine with my new speakers).

Of course, if you have a good pair of speakers, and an amp that can handle their load with ease....adding a subwoofer (or two) is going to make things easier on all components involved....less work everywhere, and more options on placement (the best sound for mid/highs, is not always the best placement for bass reproduction)

How in the world do you expect anyone to help you when you supply nothing but general information? Do you think anyone here knows what speakers you are even talking about?

And why in the world would you need a $4,000 amp to drive your speakers?

Come on Bob....don't expect everyone to guess your system.
