Bruce, sometimes it is hard to find the right crossover point so that the sub blends seamlessly with the speakers. It may even require some placement fiddling (if that is an option). For me, I found level matching with the main speakers to be critical for two channel listening. If the sub was turned up a hair too much it became too prominent. It's all a preference thing, though.

I spent an afternoon playing the same song over and over while using the sub and then just the speakers. I wanted to see which sound I preferred. Turns out I liked the speakers sans sub. I found it more acceptable to give up the bottom octaves in return for a smoother crossover transition. But, again, that is just my preference. Many others on the board wouldn't go without the sub for anything--you just gotta find what you like.
