Are Monitor/Subs More Room Flexible?


I've been reading through the archives here on speaker and room interaction (speaker x does well in small rooms, but horribly in large rooms, etc.), and wondering if the following general principle might be reasonable?

A good monitor and subwoofer combination will be more flexible in terms of room size than a more full-range floorstander.

Thoughts?

Vladimir, you say "Subwoofer integration has been practically non-existant for years". I take it you meant to say "integration problems" or some s
I do not disagree with Vladimir that Rel subs have had such an audiophile sonic response that their integration is never boomy nor gross...yet it is possible to create a small dip, Rel or not, depending on your Main speakers cross-over slope and Rel's.
I think the other thing is to know your room response and try both. My older audio room was a living nightmare for full-range speakers and I never managed to get it right, way too many nodes and stranding waves where speakers made sense. Monitors and sub were much better most of the time.
