I've posted this before but here is how I used to use my Bryston with the monitor Sonus Faber speakers. Notice that I was able to control just how much bass the monitors were responsible for through the Bryston. Advantages were huge, the monitors did not struggle with bass, intermodulation was much lower since the midbass driver did not have to reproduce bass and mids at the same time.

Not at all. I use a single sub in a 2.1 setting. The most important thing is matching the sub (and your speakers) to the room. How big is your room?

Some newbie to sub questions.
Which way should I wire? Should I wire out of the preamp, into the sub inputs, thru the sub and out of the high pass outputs, into the amp? or Put a wye splitter at the two preamp outputs and run R/L into the sub inputs? Do the R/L inputs get combined into a mono signal at the sub?

You may want to acquire a single sub, and enjoy it, while you're contemplating whether to get a 2nd sub, and how to wire it.

One sub properly dialed in is great. Two subs properly dialed in are fantastic!
