I realize you said @snapsc that you're not necessarily intending to follow Ohm's recommendations....
I am probably the least competent commentator on this thread, as I have fallen into communities of speaker owners (Allison Acoustics and Ohm) more by chance than design; and I have purchased used when the opportunity arose, rather than a painstaking trial-and-error process.
I can share a couple of small observations:1) I got rid of my subwoofer with my 4XO's.  Only rarely do I miss a more solidly defined low end.2) Strangely enough, I recall more bass feeling (in the feet, not the chest) from my much smaller Allison CD-7s when I was using them as my mains (they're now my surrounds).
If you like more bass, I'd consider adding subwoofer to taste.

I have my 100s (8" driver in Ohm Walsh 2 cabs, same as 2000s I think) in a decent sized open concept family room with adjacent kitchen and the rest of the first floor open and adjacent to that. Amp is 60w/ch.

This is my "second system" so I am willing to give up some things there compared to my main with the big Ohm 5s (12" drivers) in a moderate to large more sealed L shaped room on teh lower level driven by 500w/ch amps.

I feel no need for sub in there. Neither did I with Dynaudio Contour monitors.

The only thing I’d say I sacrifice that I miss sometimes with 8" Ohms in a larger area is concert level SPLs. That’s mostly because of only 60 w/ch though. It does go plenty loud we don’t realize how loud it actually is until you try to talk to someone and have to turn it down.

Also I doubt the low end bass extension is as good as my bigger Ohm rig, but I can’t say its really an issue of any concern for me.

No reason to not use a sub with Ohms if one thinks its needed. I’ve had Ohms since 1978 ( I still have my original Ohm Ls in my unfinished basement area) including Ohm Walsh since ~ 1982 and have never felt the need for a sub with any of them.

Note I use them mostly for music.  I am not a home theater guy.

If they work it's a good deal.  If not the cabs look like they could likely be used for trade in value sent straight to Ohm, but keep track of shipping costs and check with Ohm to be sure.  The hoods are easy to redo with new fabric ( I redid my old Walsh 2s  once myself).   

Yeah, the listing implies they work with third party shippers, but if I were interested in pursuing this option outside of Charlotte, I'd call Goodwill first to confirm terms.
