Is bass-expander really good for stereo system?

Hi,I have been looking for some tweak other than spkr placement,see if somehow the bass reproduction of my system can be "heavier" or extended a bid without sacrifizing other aspects of sonic reproduction. My system consited of (1)AhTjoeb 4000 CDP (2)NADC370 integrated amp(120Wx2) (3)
Analysis plus Oval 9 spkr cable(4)Quadral Ascent850 spkr(3-way, bass reflex,floor standing,28-24000Hz freq. resp.,4-8Ohm,89dB sensitivity)5)TruthLink IC-harmonic-tech).Lately, I browse on Behringer.de web-site and looking into the unit called Ultrabass EX PRO-1200 (ITS NOT AN EQUILIZER OR ORDINARY "BASS BOOSTER"). I have been wondering has anybody have experiences in using such unit(or similair unit)? and how does it sound-in matching with the 2 channel stereo system? does it sacrifizing other sonic aspects although getting more extended bass??
Your opinion and suggestion is highly appreciated and thanks a lot

Simon, I would also recommend experimenting with a sub. There are other, (more controllable,) subs such as the M&K line which have a low-pass filter adjustment which will allow you to pick where they compliment your main speakers best. Remember, a sub allows you to experiment with placement in your listening room to maximize your bass response. (Most rooms are corner placed for max bass, in some that is excessive.)

Good luck,
