How much can low-fi subwoofer bring down a system?


All things being equal, how much can a low-fi, circuit-city, subwoofer bring down a system with fairly decent components? Will a more high subwoofer make THAT much of a difference?

I agree more details would be useful, but my guess would be that you would have wonderful clear sound coming from your decent componants and a strange thumping, thudding noise coming from the sub (which may be OK if you use this for just HT). It would probably ruin a good thing.
I tried integrating various under $500 subs and never found one that integrated in any acceptable way with the Linn Tukans I had (activ with LK85 amps). It took me a year to find that Rel subs are a relatively affordable way to get a sub that sounds musical.
Dont waste your time, spend around a grand on Agon and get a used Rel Strata.
Just an opinion.
