Well, I wouldn't really consider running without subs just because with room EQ, they substantially smooth out bass, so I consider "used with subs" to be the default if you're really trying to achieve the best sound with no compromises. This is a pretty common attitude, there's a million examples that show how much 2 and even 4 subs improve bass quality. You just can't achieve the same thing with full range speakers.
A lot of people feel the same way, which is why there are separate preference ratings including and excluding LFX. Of course, everyone's budget and room is different and if full range speakers are your thing, that's also fine, and those will be reviewed in the future as well, I'm sure. But it's obviously easier to buy, ship, and get small monitors on the measuring platform so they're getting measured first because they're the most practical.
