If one tends towards a "fun" sound (i.e., beats headphones or, better, Campfire Cascade) then the B&W will sound dead & bass-less ... it can be tuned track-by-track to sound ok, but then you need to tune it track-by-track ... which definitely isn't fun.

The B&W sound signature is generally neutral. I believe that is what makes them good studio monitors but maybe not for those who want a punchier bass or brighter sound ala Klipsch or higher-end Focals. I think if you put a separate subwoofer you’ll get the extra kick.
The under-seat woofers from what I know are not true subs like JL Audio.
