will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio


hi. my question is: will adding a subwoofer to my audio system improve overall performance, soundstage, clarity, etc. my system is: jm labs focal 918's(8' triangle between speakers, and away from listening chair), bat amp and pre amp, rega saturn cd player, running springs power conditioner, jps audio interconnects, kimber kable speaker cable. i have a small listening room, and am thinking the sub would help. also, any sub recomendations? i'm thinkin rel, jl audio, or b&w. thanks for the input, gil

I agree with most that has been said...the improvement in added weight and realism is impressive. I use a NHT X2 crossover set at 50 hz....simple to set up. My sattelites deliver quickness,dynamics and punch and the sub delivers the power & majesty...works great.
I agree run your main speakers full range and your sub at 50 or 80hz and below....I triend using the mains thru the crossover...degraded the sound...bad idea.
