full range or mini's and a sub


Guys I'm not the most seasoned audiophile so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.  However, here it goes...  I have heard many audiophiles talk about the magic of mini-monitors and their ability to disappear and soundstage.  Many say that it is very difficult to get the same advantages with full-range speakers.  Still most reference systems seem to be built around full range speakers.  If there is a true magic to mini-monitors why don't I see more reference systems with mini-monitors and subs for the lows?

I'm a lazy idiot. Twelve years ago I bought two subs that remotely control fourteen low frequency based slopes, levels and parameters within eight discrete frequency bands. As low frequency sweep tones are played through the mains they automatically (or manually) adjust themselves to the mains and the room in about twenty minutes.

They worked equally well in both our casa Grande and the empty nest pequena with a variety of speakers.  

  @asmithkash   Really in my dreams I add some subs maybe a swarm and a Bach and call it a day. 

An Audio Kinesis Swarm is brilliantly functional and an economical design that will serve you regardless of the speakers used or the room their in, very smart. The way a swarm loads a room is simply stunning. All the best.
