Not if you have full range speakers like tower speakers.
Even with large speakers, the surround sound mix is encoded with LFE (low frequency effect) sounds that would not be heard without a subwoofer.

What is the difference in a sound bar and surround sound system?
A sound bar is a single speaker array to be placed above or below the TV. It has several speakers in it to produce the front side of a surround mix, and many units include a processor to simulate true surround. It may also have a subwoofer. The HEOS HomeCinema is an example of a soundbar that also includes a subwoofer. A true surround system includes 5 to 7 speakers plus a subwoofer to be placed around the room, and is best way to get true immersive sound from any source.
How do you get just front and surround speakers to play on a Denon avr-1508?
There are no surround modes that quickly turn off the subwoofer, center channel and surround back speakers, but leave the surround speakers (side) speakers on. You will need to go into the System Setup -> Sp 2. In 3.0p -> Speaker Setup menu to select Center Speaker 'None', Surround Speaker ('Large' or 'Small'), Surround Back Speaker 'None' and Subwoofer 'No'. If you have a subwoofer and want sound to come out of the all of the speakers when you are listening to a non-surround source such as a CD, use the 5CH/7CH Stereo DSP simulation.
Can the front speakers in a surround sound system be used as stand alone speakers?
Yes and no. Depends on just which front surround speaker you're talking about. If the surround speaker set you have includes a subwoofer, then for standalone you really need the front speakers plus the subwoofer, as the fronts aren't designed to reproduce the bass, but rather to send the bass to the subwoofer. So if you used ONLY the front speakers without the subwoofer, then you'll have very poor bass in the resulting system. If you use the subwoofer plus the front speakers, then it should work just fine.
