View Single Post - Quality of a 2.1 speaker set without the subwoofer?

JohnJSal · 01-09-2008, 07:48 AM

If I were to set up a 2.1 speaker set but not use the subwoofer, would the two satellite speakers sound any different than if I had just bought a 2.0 system?

The reason I ask is because I see a nice looking and fairly cheap 2.1 set, but I hate dealing with the subwoofer. So I'm just curious if it's optional, or if it is somehow required for a 2.1 set to sound good.

Thanks.
