RE: Powered 'pro' speakers for two-channel ///yes or no!

'Pro' speakers come in two flavours: Studio monitors and P.A. speakers.

All the ones you've listed are P.A. speakers. These are designed to go very loud but not very deep.
The use of a 15"driver does not make a sub unnecessary, it merely allows them to go louder.
My guess is that they will all have a -3dB point of around 50Hz or about the same as a smallish HiFi speaker. In other words the lowest octave is still missing.
However they will more than likely do 125dBSPL or there abouts. Good for parties, otherwise dangerous to your hearing.

Look for studio monitors (do not mistake the term 'monitor' to mean 'small' as most HiFi people are prone to do! Main monitors have been known to employ four 15"drivers.) if you care for sound quality. Some makes that spring to mind are ATC, PMC, Quested Audio, Barefoot, ME Geithain, Klein&Hummel etc.
You will have to cough up a lot more cash though…
