Does a REL subwoofer make the speakers' job easier?


Gentlemen,

Let’s assume we are following REL’s recommendation by connecting the sub to the amp instead of the preamp through the high-level connection. Then which one of these two would be true?

1. The sub would make the speakers’ job easier by not sending the low bass signal (i.e., below the crossover point) to them.

2. The signal sent to the speakers would still include the low bass even when the sub is used. Therefore the speakers would still receive the full range signal.

If (1) is true, how is it accomplished electrically? I am asking this as someone who has little knowledge about how the signal flow between amp and speakers works.

Thanks in advance!

Once you have added the dual subs to your system, It would be helpful, for the benefit of all,  if you could post your first-hand experience of adding the REL subwoofers to your system and how it changed the sound for you and any recommendations!

Just a follow up! 
Did you eventually add the REL dual subs to your system. If yes,  then how  was your first-hand experience of adding the REL subwoofers to your system and how it changed the sound for you and any recommendations! What models of REL did you add?

Thanks.
