"Usable Response to 35 Hz"I'm sure you realize this is a meaningless number. The term "usable" has no scientific meaning, especially when discussing the frequency response of speakers.
"100 dB Sensitivity, 1 W, 1 m
"1200 Watts Power Capacity"By virtue of the physics of voice coils, gaps and excursion, these two specifications are mutually exclusive when applied to a woofer. The high power capacity implies relatively low sensitivity of the low frequency driver, more than likely at least 10dB less than the sensitivity spec. The latter is undoubtedly confined to midrange frequencies and higher, which is one reason bi-amping of SETs is so common.

Have you looked at their specs?

If so, cool but you didn't say that.

Forget about EQ. The only place I used EQ is on B&W 801. They call it BAF (bass alignment filter).
are not usable to 35Hz. They are too quiet at 35Hz to add anything to the rest of the music.Tre'

Can you give me an example?

It's difficult to give a single number because it depends heavily on the speaker's physical size and design.Small, highly sensitive speakers (e.g., bookshelf speakers): These might struggle to go much below 60-80Hz without a significant drop-off in output or increased distortion.
Larger, highly sensitive speakers (e.g., floorstanding speakers, horn-loaded designs): These can extend lower, perhaps down to 40-50Hz, and in some cases even lower. True horn-loaded speakers, known for their extreme efficiency, can achieve impressive bass extension, but they tend to be very large.

Your JBL speakers have a free air resonance of 40Hz and are 3db down at 45Hz. 10db down at 35Hz.
