Floorstanders or stand-mounted with a sub?


Trying to decide between some Dynaudio Focus speakers. With my budget, I either want to do a pair of Focus 110s on stands with a Rythmik sub, or just the Focus 220 floorstanding speakers by themselves.

In general, which setup is the best way to go for optimal sound quality?

I didn't have what you have, but I did have a fully loaded pair of VMPS 626Rs w/ a VMPS VSS/215 sub and the sound was absolutely beautiful, dynamic, clear. I also had the VMPS RM30s fully loaded with a Maestro sub that I didn't like as well. That VMPS sub was AWESOME sounding. The 30s were floor standing but the 626Rs on stands were just a great combo. I don't know if the Dynaudios with Rythmic sub could equal the VMPS combo, but the comparison of floor stander with and without sub vs. the stand mounted with and without sub is valid. I did prefer both setups with the sub--just that particular VMPS sub is the finest musical, dynamic, and deep ranging bass sub I've ever heard. The 30s with sub could play a bit louder the the 626Rs with sub. Otherwise I liked the 626Rs with sub better.
