Legacy Audio Classic HD Speakers with or without Sub

I am considering purchasing the Classic HD speakers and am wondering if a sub will be necessary with them. I currently own the Dynaudio Focus 260 floorstanders (Dual 6.5" midwoofers) with their partnering sub, the Sub 600. Although I've never had a sub before in any system, I do like the extra bass depth it gives.

I've been reading the forums on this site and really haven't read anyone pairing a sub with the Classic HD's. Also, I read one professional review where the Classics were paired with Legacy's own Metro sub but it didn't mention how they sounded without the sub. Finally, I went to the Legacy site and read some posts but nothing about the Classics with a sub.

Please post your experiences with & without a sub(s) paired with the Classic HD's. Are the dual 8" woofers enough to provide sufficient bass without a sub? I'm not a sub freak so I may be able to live without one but as mentioned before the Dynaudio set up sounds nice with one.

Thanks!

I heard a few weeks ago a pair of Legacy speakers at the Audio Doctor showroom in Jersey City, they sounded amazing I would give their store a call, the owner, Dave really knows his stuff every system I head at his place sounded amazing! 


 I got a tour of the entire store I came in to hear the Paradigms Persons, which is in their Reference room, they also have a pair of Legacy speakers in their step down showroom, next to the Reference room, the speakers sounded great when I got a demo of those speakers in that room. 

I could not believe just how remarkably musical the speakers are, nice cabinets too! I am thinking about selling my Audio Physic Virgos and saving up some cash and purchasing the Legacy Focus Signatures, that Dave played for me, just fantastic speakers.

After my demo at the Audio Doctor's I looked at the less expensive Classics you are looking at which I can afford sooner, or saving up for the Focus Signatures, I came with the same conclusion as listed above.

If you can swing it the Focus Signatures are $1,800.00 more expensive and you are getting a lot for the additional money

1: The Signatures use the top of the line Heil AMT Tweeter and AMT Upper Midrange driver. 

2: The Signatures have the larger 10 inch bass drivers and go down to 22hz.

3: The Signatures are taller and throw a bigger soun stage.
