A semi-serious problem with the Superzeros...

The Superzeros are just a bit too bass shy, IMO. Flat bass response barely makes it to the 100 hz. mark. Back in the vinyl days bass was stereophonic down to 100 hz. or so, but on modern recordings bass is stereophonic down to about 80 hz. This means that if you want deep bass response that is both flat and fully stereophonic when using a pair of Superzeros, you really need dual subwoofers. You'll also want to keep each subwoofer very close to it's Superzero partner, for the best stereo separation and bass integration.

Standmount minimonitors are usually designed to stay fairly flat down to 80 hz. nowadays. You might pay more, initially, for gutsier monitors but you can save money in the end by only having to buy one subwoofer. Two subwoofers are great but it's nice when you don't really NEED to buy two of them.
