In 2007 I started to sell monitor speakers with subwoofers instead of floorstanding speakers. I did it because it gave a much better balance with less limitations in the acoustic problems what floorstanders could give in the same room.
Even with roomacoustic systems in many situations a smaller floorstander with a subwoofer gives much better endresults than a big loudspeaker without a subwoofer.
With a better balanced sound you even hear more layers of the lowest freg. Many big systems also can get acoustic limitations in the low freq. Often colouration and acoustic problems with the floor, you will loose layers in the lower freq. This is the last thing you want.
With extreme fast subwoofers, best powercables ( Like Purist Audio) a reference cable like the Wild Dog and acoustic systems you get a perfect stealth integration.
In the past I was only interested in big loudspeakersystems without a subwoofer for just stereo use. But......these days I cannot think about listening to stereo without a subwoofer. If people would have said this 6-7 years ago, I would have thought they are crazy!!
