Upgrading sub to get a live feel.


I currently have a set of JBL 4319 which has its history as 4310. They are studio monitors and as a result they sound like studio monitors you hear everything, but they lack the physical presence on the low end. They have wonderful mid range and voice presence. I also have a pair of SVS SB1000 to help with the low end. 

I want to eventually upgrade to JBL 4367 with upgraded pair of subs, for this reason, but in the mean time would a sub upgrade be considered before the speakers.

This has been a great thread,  Not too long ago I added a second REL T5 to my Omega Super Alnico Monitors, and things have been sounding really great (16 x 26 room with 8 ft ceiling and open on two sides).  Since reading about the Swarm package and various threads about setting up a dba, I’ve been interested in adding a third subwoofer next, and eventually a 4th.  The question I have is this:  would I get better better bass improvement adding a 3rd T5, which has a single sealed 8-inch driver, or try to get a larger (10 or 12 inch) sub for the third sub? The current subs are run in stereo.  As the new sub would be run off both channels, would I need to reconfigure the others to also run off both channels, or should keep them in stereo.
Tim, thanks for your response.  This makes sense.  Looking forward to pursuing this dba!  The positioning and setting crossovers, phases, and volume will be the ultimate task and key to success.
