You forgot one thing - 100dB sensitivity! (NT) - Leo loves music 14:51:13 05/26/25 (8)
- So are you now saying you use heavy EQ to get your speakers flat to 35Hz? - Tre' 15:17:40 05/26/25 (7)
  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.

      - Do you really expect a 100dB speaker to go flat down to 20Hz? - Leo loves music 17:49:45 05/26/25 (4)

        So, how low can a 100dB sensitivity speaker go? - Leo loves music 17:57:31 05/26/25 (1)

        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.

        OK but I'm not clear what that has to do with your speakers. - Tre' 10:39:38 05/27/25 (0)

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