Is it overkill if these are used for Surround Speakers?

Skip this.

As an owner of a set of BP8020 and BP9060s, the 9000 series is hot garbage.

The amps on each tower will go bad. Its a well documented issue on many AV forums. I've personally had the amps on both BP9060s replaced under warranty - parts direct from the mfg - twice on one tower, once on the other tower.

Even the replacement amps will go bad. Both of my BP9060s are now out of warranty and are currently not working (the subwoofer part)

The same symptoms are present on all 9000 series towers.

My older BP8020s? Still going strong!

Is this speaker worth the price tag without the subwoofer? Like imagine that they sold this without the subwoofer. Do you think it's worth it, or are there better equivalents out there?

The speakers lack a lot of the low mids without the subwoofer. I can't say for certain, but there are a few entry level speakers from brands such as Sony, Polk, and Klipch at around this price (or less) that could sound "better" than this model without the sub.

That being said, I have heard owners bypassing the integrated amp with a stand alone subwoofer amp. The internal connectors are standard spade connectors and can easily be disconnected. The subwoofer can be directly connected to an external amp (search amazon for compact subwoofer amps)
