I have a pair of B & W 801 floor standing speakers for my fronts in a 5 speaker setup and a new AVR, but no subwoofer. For action and adventure movies would I gain much in the way of LFE by adding a subwoofer since the B&W's are full-range? Auditioning an appropriate sub in my area is a bit difficult and I thought some opinions in advance would be helpful.
Subwoof or Not?

The sub yes sure..or no???
Personaly with a good ampli and B&W801 like front and especially in music sector I dont like so much the sub.
I do not know what music you listen (if techno and music that he wants the sub ... OK...)
but with David Bowie (heroes/low /lodger /scary monsters) sub I missing...
I prefer to have a good rear speakers in place from the sub in my system...
I have the B&W750 but the JL Audio (in switzerland not avialable), the Velodyne are sure a good choice.
if the sub is not so vital not disregard a pair of B & W PV1 or Velodyne SPL800 / MicroVee.

Subs will add bass and if you want more bass they will do the trick. Your budget will play a key roll. There are subs that will add good bass for not that much money. A frend of mine bought a $300 Klipsch sub for movies and it seems to do the trick.
The JL Audio subs are outstanding but I am not going to suggest that you buy a $10,000+ Gotham or 2 F113's at about $8,000 without any more information.- Bottom
