Subwoofer with 2 channel stereo setup

My system is rapidly growing. I can't help it :)
The whole system now is integrated amp(DK Design MK1), turntable (Oracle Delphi MK 1), phone MC pre pre-amp and two speakers (ML Aerios i).
Now to finilize it I am thinking about getting a powered sub. The decent sub is another $2,000 investment.
I wonder if for-music-only-listening stereo (not for movie watching) it is A MUST upgrade? Does an introduction of subwoofer to a system will make a big difference?
Thanks!

For my purposes I selected an REL sub. The reasons for this are the unique high level (music) and low level (LFE) connections and set-up. The REL subs a traditional rca interconnect for the LFE channel. However it also uses a second proprietary connection from the main speaker (L&R) outputs to the sub. There is a separate level control for each connection that provides for fine tune matching of levels for music or movies.

I am very pleased with this arrangement and believe it to be the best solution for integrating a sub into a primarily music system.
