I would save the money myself. I have listened to the 802N many times and never thought they needed a sub so I imagine the 801 would be safe without.

The big recording studios used these as monitors on everything up to full orchestra. I use to sell the early 801s and they never needed more bass. What they do need is POWER. Also stands are very helpful.
