Tried a sub/sat or sub/monitor (if you prefer) setup twice over the years. I always felt there was "something" missing. What was missing was half the presentation. I ended up going back to floor standers both times. I've never made the mistake of desiring mini speakers with subs again. If you don't have to go that route, don't. It's Bose-like. It's asking for problems in the sound. I would say that as a general rule, Harvesty is right. It just doesn't sound terrific to put puny speakers and subs together. What sounds terriffic is a great three way floor stander. Even better, those floor standers with 2W's!
