LG, there are many considerations for your post as others point out. But here is another aspect to consider.
Your "upbeat" recordings, if rock or pop, will likely have and emphasis in the 60-120 Hz range, just above the apparent limits of your speakers. This is done in the mastering process so they will have apparent bass on "average" music systems. Orchestral recordings are more likely to be mastered with a flat or near flat response in that range. Therefore, no bass emphasis.
Many people have misconceptions about bass information. 60 Hz is really fairly deep as you would know if you ever heard a 60 cycle hum in your system. Only a few instruments extend below 40 Hz so very little music is written below that range.
Adding a sub to reach 25 Hz will likely come from a home theater product which may not necessarily be musical. After all, those are developed to reproduce special effects. You would be far better off (and spend less money) if you found a sub designed for music which might only extend to say 40-45 Hz.
