What does a subwoofer solve?

My previous amps were BHK 300 mono blocks.  The bass they provided for my Monitor Audio PL 300ii speakers was exceptional.  For several reasons I replaced the BHKs with a Luxman M900u.  Very happy with the new amp, except for disappointing bass performance.  Would a set of good subwoofers help resolve this, or do subwoofers only address a lack of bass in standard speakers?

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

I will say adding a sub done RIGHT makes a huge improvement in not just rap.  Getting to mix right is no easy.  I ended up with the JL Audio CR-1.  Not cheap.  But since the intro digital music a good external cross over is getting hard to find.  this did HT integration as well which was another Issue I had.  

I do have a BHK 250 recently upgraded from Krell KAV 2250.  It does have much more impact than the krell.  

I think you will find adding a sub especially if you can get the load of the mains with xover you will find it works so much better.  

May I ask what PS Audio could not get to work as advertised?
