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.

I have a dual purpose main system using different amplification for pure audio vs. video, and use a pair of Hsu  VTF-15H MK2 powered subs for video only.

I have run the subs with the audio front end on occasion and they are very good indeed, not just for bass reinforcement with video. Note that they were installed using proper analytic instrumentation for location, configuration and tuning and not everyone has that available - if you just stick them wherever they fit in your room, YMMV.
