Reply to How many of you producers have a studio subwoofer?

I just found out about 20 minutes ago that I'm getting $300 back from my Federal income tax. Naturally, the first thing that popped into my head was 'oh sick I can buy some new gear finally!'

How many of y'all have subs with your monitors?

Is it worth it? Obviously, it's going to cost me more than the $300 that I'm getting back, but that combined with my crappy little student job should be enough.

Are the low-end subs even any good? Please don't say 'go to the store and listen to them' because that's not an option for me.

The other option I'm considering would be buying a Launchpad or an APC. Any thoughts?
