Subwoofer or Bi-Amp?

Hello everyone. I was wondering which application makes more sense.

Should I buy a subwoofer or does bi-amping speakers effectively create a subwoofer situation.

It seems to me that using two separate amps, one for the midrange/highs and another for the lows creates a situation where you have a powered subwoofer without purchasing a dedicated subwoofer.

I hope that explanation makes sense. What are your thoughts? Thanks for your help.

Stan said it. Improvement? Yes.

sufficient enough to dispell the need for better bass?

That's entirely your call... doubtless IMO standard speakers can outrun an active dedicated sub though, as not too many speakers reach far below 30Hz without roll off, or near the impact a sub would provide.

Size of, or tuype of, sub? The room, present speakerage, and your preffs should make that call.
