As said 5dB less than a normal LS50 without EQ, which is for desktop listening enough for my taste.And what SPL does the mighty 5 1/4 inch LS50 woofer manage at 20 hz?

what size room and listening distance are we talking?
Revel f206 (optimised with DSP) and 4 smallish subs with EQ up to ~300Hz at listening position.

Where did you set XO between subs and F206?
It's either 100 or 80Hz. Can't recall.
So even with 4 subs you didn't manage to correct that dip at 60Hz? Have you applied phase correction on them as well?
Not even with 5. It is a property of the room in the modal range and this is the absolute best I could squeeze out. Strangely enough it's not very audible with a tone generator.
Some buttkickers give some extra tactile heft below 50Hz as well.
Well it certainly looks very good! Have you tried measuring and correcting the phase between subs? Or you're saying that all of them are having dip at that point?
Maybe Neumann KH80dsp + JBL LSR310?
(We all know mastering level gear is too expensive....)
Like :WSDG like using Lipinski L707A as mastering monitor.....
Bob Ludwig use Eggleston Work IVY......
Will it directivity bad or other problem?
Do yourself a favor - get reasonably priced good monitors (JBL, Adam, Focal, etc), then buy a MiniDSP and a Cross Spectrum UMIK-1. Then pay a visit to GIK Acoustics to treat your room properly. Then calibrate the response to be correct in your room at your listening position.
Ridiculous. Look into some of the best known mastering houses. They don't stop at 6 inches.You do not/cannot master using subs...
6" flat curve nearfield monitors. Anything bigger than 6" is for playback & is not suitable for mixing or mastering.
This is an area of audio that I can really pull you up on sunshine...Ridiculous. Look into some of the best known mastering houses. They don't stop at 6 inches.
This fellow disagrees. His top 5 choices have 4 which have large woofers. And he apparently did use the B&W's at Abbey Road for mastering.This is an area of audio that I can really pull you up on sunshine...
Tell me about these mastering houses? Do they master on small or large monitors? Or do they master on small monitors & check the mix on various other sources?
Do you really believe that the HUGE Bowers & Wilkins that Abbey Road have are used for mixing &/or mastering?
Good discussion of that here:What target curve should the mastering system be corrected to?
The curve must be F.L.A.T... as flat possible, to the point of it sounding bad because there is absolutely no colourisation at-all. That's the only way you can find & correct mistakes in the mixGood discussion of that here:

I prefer as do many people flat to 200 hz and then 3 db/decade or .9 db/octave with a downward slope as frequency decreases.
Yes, the above photo is of the Mastering speaker that Bob Ludwig helped develop and that he used/uses at his Gateway mastering studio. Don't know the man. He has won bunches of awards for his work. Yes, I know that doesn't guarantee quality by itself. Still there it is.The photo above is used for mixing/mastering???... pointless conversation. BTW, Bob Ludwig is a self-appointed guru. If you were in the industry you would know that he was a dick.
