You can certainly benefit by using a sub to augment the low end range of your RTS-3's, as they do not go down low enough to handle the Dolby requirement for all 5 channels flat down to 20 hz. This is how movies are mixed for all five channels. The difficultly that you have with surround systems in shunting all bass to on sub is integration. You need different levels of gain for bass integrating with your rear channels versus your mains versus your center because of room positioning and speaker capabilities. Combine that with the fact that you need the ability to independently adjust the gain for the LFE channel independent of the bass being redirected to your sub from you speakers, and you have little hope of successfully taking advantage of the sound that comes on a DVD.
