I agree with avgguy with the exception that you shouldn't overlook the REL Strata (one model below Storm), depending on room size. With any of them, allow it to break in and then you'll need to spend some time with crossover and volume. It's worth the effort. Also, depending on the full range speakers you're auditioning, the monitor/sub combo may provide better bass extension.
Monitor W. Subwoofer VS. Floorstander??
I recently found a good pair of monitors, and I'm wondering if I should combine them with a sub? Also, this is going to be strictly for 2 channel listening. However, I heard it is "Very" difficult to optimally match a subwoofer with a monitor. Is that true? If I could put together a synergistic sub/monitor combo, would it rival the sound of a good floorstander? Lastly, what are the disadvantages and advantages in going the route of a monitor and subwoofer combo for music? Thanks!
