Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?

If you were watching sitcoms and sports it would be acceptable, but for movies a sub is a must. In fact, ROTS is out tomorrow and I can't wait to watch it and hear it - with the sub.

I have a Meridian Reference 800v4 and 861 v4 with 5.0 full range DSP 5200 and there is clearly no need for a sub. It slams and crunches with bass.

I used to own Aerial 10ts and a Meridian processor.(One dynamic combo this is.)It depends on your room and what you are comparing your bass to.--?? The high end store that tries to deafen you with multiple subs?? Is that what you like??--You in the end get to decide,but Aerials and Meridian make lots of bass. I now run Sophia's for the fronts and have more bass than I need.---Your needs may be different--- BUT, trust me it's still HT w/o a sub;and especially with full range speakers that go down into the 20's.(or near that).

Adidadi - the Meridians are nice speakers. They cover nearly all frequencies you'd find in most music (excluding techno and similar genres), and they have very good mid-bass slam.

For action/adventure/epic movies, you are missing out on a substantial amount of low-frequency information.

It would be worth borrowing a sub to see what if any difference exists.
