Hi Phasecorrect,
Minimal hassle and intergrating monitors and subs...can be two contrasting goals! ;) fortunately, with certain subs, it is far easier than others. The 2 options i would suggest are: pre-made monitor/sub systems so the setup should have been designed in from the start.
Or get nice bookshelves (like Totems, Celestions, Epos, etc)...and get a Velodyne DD-10+. the Velodyne comes with a microphone...you hook it up...press 'calibrate' and it sends out sweep tones which are then picked up by the microphone, fed back into the sub and the sub automatically self-adjusts 8 frequencies to equalize to the bass-response/handling of the room.
Good luck. hope that is somewhat helpful.
