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.

How many hours have you logged on the Luxman? Sure it’s broken in? 
 

Those BHK 300s look pretty beastly. Maybe they just have better bass control?

 

Properly integrated sub can sound amazing. Kinda difficult to get there but not impossible. If the room allows maybe consider a swarm type setup. Never heard one but from most accounts it’s a great way to get amazing evenly distributed bass.
