What does a subwoofer solve?
Thanks again for all of the input.  I'll stand down on the subs for now and investigate some alternative placement of the room components, especially speakers. One example of what I mean when I say they amp is shy on bass is Max Richter's Blue No... 
What does a subwoofer solve?
Thanks for all of the input.  I found a local dealer who will let me borrow a pair of subs for a couple of days, so will probably take that route to start. As to comments about doubting the Luxman doesn't have enough bass, I've seen it mentioned ...

What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.
Linn Klimax DSM and Luxman m900u amp. 
BHK 300 vs Luxman m900u vs Mola Mola Kaluga
