How to reproduce sound of piano
Again, I would advise against getting a sub first. Have everything else set up to your satisfaction first. After that, yes I would say that a sub is essential. ( or even one for each channel) A sub is not only about getting the bottom octaves more... 
How to reproduce sound of piano
Dave,Yes in theory, but it very much depends on the room, finding the right volume, the phase- and crossover points , the proper placement of the sub(s) to get such a blend with the mainspeakers that the sub disappears. It is quite tricky to get i...
