I use the CRMs with a subwoofer as an outboard sound system with the Kawai digital piano in my living room. Once you get the x-over dialed in for the sub, this is a pretty good sounding system. Dynamic/potent enough in the upper bass to sound satisfying in the second full octave (above A2, where the sub hands off). No meaningful bass output much below there, though - NEEDS to be used with a subwoofer.
My living room is 23' x 14', with a 17' peaked ceiling.

PS I prefer to have a sub handle frequencies up to at least 80-90hz in any application, so the sub can be used to address room issues in the bass. This almost always means low cut filtering the main speakers. However, the limited output below 100hz means that this is one of the few speakers that I won't actively low cut for sub mating. I just use the sub's high cut filter to "snug up" under the CRM's natural bass roll off in the "audiophile purist's" style.
