...I would still insist on a subwoofer. In fact, I use a subwoofer with my floor standing speakers that reach down to a very respectable 40Hz. Being able to clear 20Hz made a noticeable, satisfying difference (wouldn't mind the capability of going even lower, but I just don't have the space or cash for that at the moment).
I'm of the opinion that however low the music we listen to can reach (I listen to all sorts of stuff - including large orchestral and organ music), our stereo systems should ideally be able to reach some comfortable range below even that -- so that it reaches all the direct/ambient fundamentals we should be hearing and feeling with ease.
Before I added the subwoofer to my floor standers, while their 40Hz sounded pretty impressive in the most casual terms, I still found myself scrunching up my face in an effort to will the bass into "absolute fullness", yet never feeling quite satisfied -- even with all my facial contortions and willpower. Once the 12" subwoofer was added, even though it didn't have to cover a very wide frequency range, the feeling I had could only be described as "relief". There's more to sub-bass than meets the spec sheet. There's music down there.
