Seems to me that subwoofer+satellites setup has been for long in hi-fi
discussions. Back is the 70's there used to be several designers who
proposed this solution and some enthusiasts adopting it. The main
interest of such a setup was that satellites (two-way generally) produce
a cleaner sound in the mid&high frequencies than a three-way speaker. At
least, lets say that it was easier for the designers to design a
"cleaner" two-way speaker than a three-way one.
Myself, I bought a Revox three-box (sub+sats) setup in the eighties,
and used it happily for about 15 years (it's still part of a secondary
home video setup).
Now, the Revox setup was a package designed for hifi use (home theater
didn't really exist back then), that makes a big difference. Can someone
take -any- subwoofer, a couple of two-way speakers and a filter and
produce the same effect... well it seems to me difficult, but not yet
impossible. Unfortunately I can't help you. :(
