I tend to agree with Ron's take on this. However, matching (integrating) a sub is not without its challenges. Room mode taming, an important consideration for decent low-frequency sound, will require room treatment for sound absorption (Tube Traps, or similar) and/or digital signal processing correction. I had excellent results with the DSpeaker unit in my sig. The validity of Ron's point also hinges on the type of music you mostly listen to and how fussy a listener you are. Don't overlook cables. In my system, even a better (Monster, $15) cat6 Ethernet cable did cause a significant SQ improvement. I know, tough to believe, but that has been my experience. Best luck!
