I spend a lot of time at my desk which looks like the pictures below. I've used a pair of Genelec 1029A for many years. They are good down to about 70 Hz with nothing below. Recently I've been playing and recording guitar, bass guitar and using software drums and guitar synth so I'd like to hear some low end. From the pics you can see that the room and workstation are not set up for critical listening and that's not the intent. I'm not carefully producing recordings for others to playback. I just needs to sound good to me.
Subs in stock at either Sweetwater or B&H include these four. (There's also 10" KRK for $400 but out of stock.)
From the specs, the Genelec 7040A would be a fit. The 1029A are speced for 100 db SPL @ 1m and 85 Hz crossover should be just right. I have to assume that Genelec know what they are doing and that 6.5" driver and 50 W amp are fine. The space saving is attractive too. It can go behind the secondary display on the left. Genelec gear is generally well made and efficient.
But it's $800 and if all I need is 30 to 85 Hz at moderate desktop listening levels (in city apartment with neighbors) then won't all of these be able to do that about equally well?
(Btw, I have a UMIK-1 and can use REW)
