I was surprised that adding the sub actually had more effect on acoustic stuff than on Led Zepplin. Just finished playing Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See, and the clarity was amazing. I suppose the sub frees up the main speakers to really deliver on the mids and highs. The setup did a good job on FZ's Apostrophe too. Now listening to a Smithsonian Jazz Piano collection. Maybe a little Esparanza Spaulding next.

i run my towers large with two subs (2.2)

Esparanza Spaulding is an excellent choice

also consider Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue

even better
