"Long throw", compared to what? Short throw? Sounds like marketing hype to me. Excursion doesn't mean squat if the driver can't produce believable sound; you know, vocals, acoustic instruments, etc.
Another thing, 5 1/4" is generally a midrange driver so while x-max may come into play when thinking about decent bass with "punch", a driver that small is bound to limit extension and dynamics.
