I’m trying to choose between:

1. pair of MTM MKII without sub
2. pair of MTM MKII with iLoud sub
3. pair of Micro Monitor Pro with iLoud sub

The setup will be used in a 280cmx270cm room with ARC or ARC X calibration at a listening distance of about 70cm-85cm away from the speakers for general music listening, with the pair about 20cm higher than head level pointing down.

Does Setup 2 afford a better ARC calibration outcome than Setup 1 with the sub “centrally coordinating” the calibration? Conversely, does Setup 1 suffer from having no coordination between the two speakers since the speakers are not connected to each other?

Can I generally expect a big difference in the sound quality between Setups 2 & 3 at normal loudness (that on average is safe for listening 4 hours a day, with some transient peaks)?
