Ngl, I had subs for my studio monitors for a long time, but recently I’ve been leaving them off. My monitors are flat till 50 Hz anyway, and they integrate into my space much better than the subs ever did (which is on me for having a mediocre space). I’m actually enjoying music—especially bass heavy electronic music—more now. In a well treated room, I imagine the story is different, but I’m too lazy to fix my standing waves…
Some styles like mid 2000s dubstep really focus on the subbass - room treatment or no, in many of those pieces I don’t hear the bass at all if I leave my subwoofer off. My monitors don’t go as low as yours, though, definitely not flat at 50Hz.
