I personally prefer to have high quality full range speakers… without subs. Although I have had floor standards with two subs for about thirty years.
Good quality floor standers are designed for coherent sound across the spectrum.
Then there is a question of what you want. Are you going for coherent realistic sound or highly accentuated bass to slap you I the chest. It is very typical when I go to a high end audio guys house he has the subwoofers way too high… way toooo high! This will muddy up the imaging and cover up other frequencies. But you spent a lot of money you want to hear them… But it is all a question of what you are going for.
I am after musical and natural… not a cartoon or a heartless revealing system sticking details in your face. I love great imaging, and have it. But you can get great imaging cheaper (big generalization) with small stand mounted speakers with subs. But, typically there are trade offs.
