Subs are sub optimal with magenpans!

Magnepans launch a tall bass wave shape the height of the speaker.
Subs are short, and launch a short wave that shows up as an image discontinuity in the bass region that I notice.
There is very little info below 25 to 30 Hz, that adds much to the musical content IMO.
And you have standing waves in the room. Also EQ correction that smooths frequency response, screws with phase, delay, etc. and wrecks the sound purity.
Subs are not for purists!
