There are two issues here. One, if your front speakers are large and have good low frequency drivers, you may not need a sub. At the same time please do understand that the audio codecs send special data through the Point 1 that is never available to other channels.
Though many of you have been harping on the concept of using a 2.0 system for movies, I think it is as misguided as using a 7.1 system for music. The very concept of hearing from 6 or 8 independent channels that are placed properly will be completely lost. The Director and Editor have taken a lot of effort in terms of paying the sound in a way to give you the emotion and effect that they have in mind. Playing this in a 2.0 system would just vitiate all that effort.

You may be correct.I have not given the kind of thought to home theatre as you,vinay,santhol,srisundar and many others have.My main focus is on music.I am only suggesting that someone who is more interested in music and less in films,could consider spending his budget on a stereo amp/two towers rather buying an avr+5.1,7.1+a sub woofer.In a living room it would be easier to place the first option.A stereo option also gives you the choice of better quality IC's and cables.People may or may not believe in the value of expensive cables.I believe they are essential.They are the "messenger's" without whom communication becomes a 'lossy+noisy' affair.
