B&W N805's hump in the upper bass. What to expect?


The graphical results (by Stereophile) of the frecuecy response in these speakers show a hump in the upper bass. Technically, how does this boost affect the overall sound in the speakers? Does this have advantages/disadvantages?
Thanks.

Many manufacturers of monitors/smaller speakers engineer a slight "hump" in the upper bass. They do this trying to compensate for a lack of the lower frequencies that only a 10, 15 or 18" woofer can produce. It shouldn't be noticable as long as you keep them away from the walls.
