Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers


Hi, I posted recently about my vandersteen 1ci 's. Someone suggested I add a sub woofer.  Well I've found a nice 2nd hand Martin logan grotto (not i) (comments welcome).

My question is: will the addition of a 3rd party sub work at cross purposes to the time & phase alignment of my 1ci 's?

The Grotto has a three position phase switch and along with a pair of long interconnects would allow for an optimal placement which should be enough to obtain a good deal of sonic satisfaction. 

If your dissatisfied with its performance and decide on a more sophisticated DSP subwoofer keep the Grotto because you may be able to slave the equalized line level signal from the DSP sub. Together they may better load the room and decrease room nodes.
