Not for me. I have never heard a sub/satellite system that sounds as good and integrated as a nice big 3 way, unless maybe using two subs as stands for the sats.

If you've got a 3 way with woofers that are crossed over at 80 hz it sounds a lot different than a system with woofers that are crossed over at 300 hz. I find sub/sat systems really inadequate with large scale music. There are limits but I'd much rather have speakers that were a little too much for a room than ones that can't adequately fill it. You can tame the room. If the speakers can't fill the room properly you need new ones.
Once done positioning and getting polarity right,turn down the gain on the subs until you almost can't hear them. Now turn them down a 'steenth more.
Play some music with the main amp off (obviously this only works with a pre-amp, line level sub output and main amp), and listen for output from the subs. If you can faintly hear a marching band practicing 3 or 4 blocks away, you're there.
Put on an album you're really familiar with and smile as fuller, deeper bass than you've heard before issues forth but you can't tell it's not from your main speakers.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a
drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'
