GLM controlled Surround Setup without Subwoofer

Is it mandatory to include a Genelec subwofer in a GLM controlled Surround Setup ? Or can I run the following combination of speakers connected with CAT cables to controll the whole thing ?

8260 for L/R
8351 Central Speaker
8330 Surround Satellites

The 8260 are going so deep that I feel no desire to add a Subwoofer

thanks for answering

It is not mandatory to have a subwoofer. All SAM monitors and subwoofers work as individual units. You can have as simple as one monitor SAM system.

We used to have the GLM.SE system which consisted out of SE7621A subwoofer and 8130A monitors which would need the subwoofer to work properly as a system.
