Sure. The amplifiers for the "main" speakers can be smaller as well.
Subwoofers can be the way to go, in many, if not most, situations.

Ahhhhhh, the fetid smell of the omnidirectional bass myth.

Beats the smell of the "directional 20Hz" myth I guess. IF you define a sub
woofer properly (rather than simply calling any normal woofer a sub woofer)
then the sub 50Hz bass region is not going to be too bothered by
directionality in any normal room.

Exactly.

Of course IF you consider anything below 1kHz as "sub woofer" material (like
some advertising copy writers do) then you definitely WOULD have a problem.

Plus, stereo subs can be used, if wanted. Mine are stereo, in fact
(although mono'ed for 5.1 movies).
