Speakers for 2 or 2.1 system

[no. 5]

Which will be a better start off system cause Ill will add center channel later.
2.1 (2 bookshelf + sub)

or
2 (2 floor standing)

If it's mostly for music, a pair of floorstanding speakers will be the least amount of hassle. But if you want lower bass extension, or higher output, you will need a subwoofer (unless the floorstanders are really capable ).

Sorry for my ignorance but they dont seem to have any tweeters

They call it the UniQ driver.

from a review at Audioenz:

The main differing point of the iQ3 is the use of Kef’s UniQ driver, with a tweeter placed in the middle of the woofer, where a dust cap is normally found. The UniQ driver puts the originating point of sound at the same spot, rather than be separated vertically as with almost all speakers.

You have had a lot of good recommendations so far.

The question is--where are you in your journey to fine speakers?
