Subs should be avoided for 2-channel music listening unless you're are a bass freak or a movie watcher.

A good floor-stander with decent-sized drivers will provide ample bass for piano or other music. Subs are usually a different brand and won't have good compatibility with the main speakers without a huge amount of careful tuning. Also at high volumes, you are in danger of over-loading the (presumably small) bass driver in the main speakers.
