Any thoughts? Just a pair without a sub-woofer. Sound most important, looks
secondary.

Thanks,

Fred.

If sound is important, get the sub-woofer. It adds realism to many
ordinary sounds (for example, a door opening and closing).

A decent subwoofer costs quite a bit.

Yes, I know, your boombox is the best.

A decent sound requires some bass, and two bass speakers are more
expensive than one. I have a feeling that manufacturers combine the
amplifier and a single bass speaker for purposes of efficiency. Doing
so makes sense designwise IMO for lots of reasons.
