Honestly, I am commuting these days and so I have a small stereo in my out-of-town apartment at the customer site. I'm running four π speakers on a small SET amp, and I don't even run subs. Sounds fantastic. Of course, I don't get the smoothing I'd get from blended flanking subs, but I don't have to worry about penetrating the complex with deep bass either. I find it to be very satisfying under these circumstances.
All of my larger loudspeaker models are voiced similarly, and really work best with subs, both for extension and modal smoothing. But they have deep enough bass response to be satisfying without subs too.
None of this takes away from what Steve said. He's right, and the shift in electro-mechanical characteristics between flea-power operation and even just ten watts makes a measureable difference. But it isn't like they are anemic sounding, even with just one watt. They still have strong, powerful sounding bass, especially compared with something like the Abbys.
