Fortunately, almost no real life instruments actually are in ~20-60 Hz range. Only synth bass is affected, huge kettle drums, large kick drums (but these are more sensitive to "impact"), lowest registers of church organ and of course thunder. (Lowest bass guitar and bass might also qualify.)
However, more accurate subbass improves general bass impact and decay. Linearizing it can help other detailing in suprising ways the result is a more precise reproduction of very specific kinds of sound, such as square waves and of certain intermodulation effects, where low bass plays a role.
Almost nobody bothers compensating subbass - I only consider it an optional part of the equalization.
Very nice reference speaker by the way, though the rolloff is a bit large - just add a good subwoofer at 40 Hz cross. My bet it's either a closed case design or bipolar open.
