Wow.... a Saint tattoo! You are a fan!
I'm not a huge fan of the show... I love my cars, though... my next tattoo though is actually going to be in memory of my last car that met an untimely end - it was an MG... loved that car.
I've got M40's right now - and they give me plenty bass for music - that's all I use my speakers for. I may hook up some speakers to my TV eventually, and then I'll get a sub for sure - you're right, HT needs a sub - but for music... I'm fine with my M40's. - placement is a snap.
I also only listen to vinyl. I'll have to get a CD player sometime for the stuff I can't get on record... but the sound of CDs I find grating at times... and records don't have QUITE the bass response of Cds, but I find the bass much more natural - so a sub would be pretty much wasted on me at this point.
As an aside - a thread asking people to post their tattoos would be fun... I wonder how many there are...
