Is it ok to go without a sub?

How much are you missing when you don't have a subwoofer in a 5.1 surround setup?

Don't most speakers go down to about 50hz though?

Most subs only seem to manage a bit more to around 30hz, does that 20hz really make much difference? i don't want anything too loud either when just watching tv, might be good for the odd film though im sure...

I have some tannoy mercury f1 custom speakers (bookshelf), i would like a sub but it doesn't sound like i can get anything good for around £100?

I was thinking getting the Wharfedale Diamond SW150 as it's got lots of awards but people keep going on about the BK Gemini 2 on forums, is it really that much better to be worth the increase in price?
