Dynaudio Contour S3.4 users: sub required?

Hello --

A question for owners of this speaker... I have Contour 1.3SEs at the moment, but a sub is required for true full-range listening (for my purposes, I need to hear everything from 50hz down to 20hz, which is hard with just the 1.3SEs alone).

Do any of you with the S3.4s feel the need for a sub? Is 20Hz represented, at least in part? I realize they are only rated to 35hz.

Thanks,
Carl

Well, I use a pair of Dynaudio subs (500) with my Evidence Temptations.

So, as far as I'm concerned, even these 'full-range' speakers don't really cut it at the very bottom end. I like my kick drums to not only have snap, but also the trailing fullness to sound realistic. And the subs provide this 'wholeness' to the kick drums that is otherwise missing.
