    It depends how big your room is, music taste, etc. Listen to them...if you like the way they sound, get them. Break them in slowly, and if you're still not happy with the bass response, etc, you can always add a sub or two.

    Room dynamics have a big play in a speaker like this.

    Music, HT or both? For HT, I would add a sub, mainly music I don't think I would. Don't care much for the Polk subs myself, I would shop around.

    I agree with both of these guys. You can always add a sub later, because the 25's give a nice base response. When I was buying, I personally went with the LSi15's because I planned to run dual subs from day one. That being said, the 25's are great and a PSW1000 would be the preferred IF you were going with a Polk sub.

    If you are planning on HT most then consider SVS. Otherwise a Velodyne would be great.
