yeah my recommendation, and vast experience/knowledge, tells me you can forget the "no subwoofer" approach, if you expect good sound from you're movies. No speaker you're considering will sound anything less than strained, compressed, and/or distorted if you play movies through em full range(in place of a sub/where speakers ae crossed over at 80hz). I would strongly suggest you look into a subwoofer option some time and, in the mean time, go low low on the volume control for movies(which are about 5-10X more dynamically demanding than recorded music!
How big is you're room and how far back do you sit?..also how tall is the ceiling? It nakes a difference. If you have a small room, or sit close to the speakers, you can get away with more traditional music speakers. If you have a larger room, an sit further away(where the room reflections color the sound more), you should stay with the more "focused" designed speakers that are dispersion limited.
Also, what ratio of music/movies do you listen to. If you're mostly movies, look towards more dedicated movie speakers(i.e, THX designs, horn speakes like Klipsch's, etc.).
Give more info, and I'll make some recommendations...but do consider a sub(even if you listen low volumes) in the future...that's my suggestion
