i'm looking at the def tech BP10B towers. these claim to have a 20hz-30khz frequency responce. i havent been able to go hear them yet, but that seems awfully low for two 6 1/2 inch drivers. are the specs on the site accurate?

I'm fairly confident that they don't. There are very few full range loudspeakers that even get down to 30hz, let alone 20hz. Perhaps they go down to 20hz but with VERY little usable output, if ANY at all.

A frequency response spec is useless without additional information of what the response amplitude range is (e.g., +-3 dB). This plus or minus decibel range indicates how even or flat the response is, not just that some response is detectable.

The response at 20 Hz of a 6-in speaker is likely to be very very low. So low that you won't be able to hear it.

It'll pick up 20Hz but it's pretty much useless.

My BP30's play 20Hz loud enough so I can feel it, but thats runnign at reference level. Mine also add 2 more drivers per tower.

No matter how ya look at it, 6" drivers going down to 20Hz is somewhat interesting. especially in the sleek cabinets they are housed in. I dont really think their so called Base Transmission Line is top of the line, but its gotta be helping a little :)
