I used the Hafler circuit in my system for about 6 months.
It does not do any harm to your system, except if you have
a certain kind of amp: I forget what the complaint was, but
it was in an article in Stereo Review and Audio somewhere around
the summer of '82.

It does make a difference, a noticeable improvement, especially
for ambience and showing up sounds you didn't know were there.

I stopped using it when I bought new speakers though; I found
that having the extra 'hafler' speaker also caused degradation
of imaging, not to mention more noise - yes! some of those sounds
you weren't hearing before are noise! The new speakers reproduced
ambience and detail better than the hafler circiut could with
the old speakers.

So, try it out, and decide whether or not you like the effects.
It is quite interesting, I do admit.
