That's is a rule or only your opinion? because not all MUSIC lovers/audiophiles have the same priorities or targets. The OP is a good example.

Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music
I've updated my blog post with more data, more analysis and the conclusion that in my particular case I do not need a subwoofer. I encourage everyone who is on the fence about adding a subwoofer or not to read and comment. I think that either way you'll be able to make more informed buying and configuration choices.
Everyone's situation is different but I hope the post helps you get to the right conclusions.

Dear @erik_squires : Several of those DBA fans are really that: fans and you know which one is ( non derogatory meaning. ) when with out ask nothing to the OP just posted it does not matters that the OP is looking for advise of subs to listen MUSIC at one and only one seat position. Obviously they need to learn but a fan normally is not abble to learn is not willing to learn. https://www.trinnov.com/en/blog/posts/myth-busters-subwoofers-in-stereo-systems/ Now, my advise to you for and for any one is to go for Velodyne due that even in the low bass we need to look for quality in that reproduction range and THD figure in that frequency range is quite critical because its tame all the other frequency ranges. THD in Velodyne is as low as 0.5% where no other affordable true subs can get. I think that only Magico 40K each sub can even that Velodyne critical measurement. https://www.velodyneacousticssubwoofer.com/en/products/digital-drive-plus/
I understand that in the past you used subwoofer. What made that you let it gone?

@erik_squires : I re-read your link and is very clear why your sub gone:
" For my own listening levels and choice of music there is almost no reason to add a subwoofer,..." We MUSIC lovers/audiophiles that are mere " mortals " have not your high technical knowledge levels, tools and certainly not your very specific and unique targets. What you did it is not easy to duplicate but been our targets different means your " information " is exclusive for you inside the overall limitations solution.
Your link is a learning one ( at least for me ) and tell us a different way to make " things ". Certainly not for me.
Btw, you said something like: " the subs are a rtone control " and what you did it too.
