If you look at it from the side of what is inside most of these sound bar speakers, they need the .1 to be able to produce any form of base sound. Most of the subs that are included with these sound bars are not as good at the M2 speakers to produce the lower sounds in the price range you are looking for.

The advantage of a clean look comes down to how well you can hide the speaker wires. You are going to have to plug in the sound bar into something, and I don't know your room to know if it will be an issue.

Speaker cables are generally easy to hide behind skirting boards around the floor and I am going to guess with being in the Cayman Islands, that home construction and how your walls are built will play a roll hiding cables inside the walls.

Sound wise, you will not beat the sound of a pair of M2's compared to a sound bar around the price level that you are looking for. Reuse the old equipment that you have and go for better sound over looks.
