A properly integrated sub not only adds heft and depth, it provides a more solid foundation for the sound from your monitors to ride on. The result is definitely more "presence".REL subs can connect to the amp's speaker connectors, so not having a... 
Has anyone experianced Synesthesia?
Reading about others' experiences I feel cheated. The experts promised flashback episodes and there hasn't even been one. ;-)
