What is the advantage of a subwoofer system?
A subwoofer system allows a greater flexibility in placing your speakers than just a standard pair of speakers that compromises the low bass region. A subwoofer is a fully enclosed speaker system designed to handle the low bass region and perform its best while placed under the desk on the floor and near a wall. Since the (satellite) speakers are only needed for mid-range and treble frequencies, they can be quite small thus resulting in a much smaller footprint on the desk. The final result is full range sound and a lot of desktop space.
