"95% can't even get down to anywhere close to 20Hz at -3dB"Yeah, there certainly appear to be some obvious discrepancies in how SP categorizes speakers. Subjectively, Wes Philips favorably compared the Thiel 2.4 to the Peak Consult Empress to the point where I couldn't tell which he preferred. JA's measurements show the Thiel with a -6db point in the upper 20s whereas the Empress has a -6 db at about 30 hz. Yet the Empress is full class A and the Thiel class B-limited extension. And other examples can be offered (even the Wilson MAXX2 appears to be down -6db at about 22 hz to go along with several dubious measurements). Just doesn't make a lick of sense. Perhaps I'm simply ignorant of some finer definition of "Full range".
I'd be tempted to complain over at Critic's Corner but JA just gets obscene amounts of abuse over there (there are a couple of miscreants at CC that I wish would be banned). I don't see the sense in piling on. SP is far from perfect, but I really enjoy it and it kicks the s*** out of competing audio journals.
