Specifications Bandwidth: 19 Hz - 25 kHz ...?


I've seen this specification used on some speakers. While I understand what it means, my question is - what practical good is this specification in terms of how the speaker might perform?

If it's -10db at 19hz, it's pretty useless and while 19hz may not matter, what is the response at 25-30hz where one might care?

Phil..I don't disagree with you at all. '...broader is better...' I just don't understand the value of specifying bandwidth in an unqualified manner - i.e. bandwidth versus frequency response. How do you measure bandwidth? On axis at 1 meter and what is the response in db?

My premise is that the manufacturer is playing specsmanship and these speakers if spec'd +/- 1db or even +/- 3db would look something like 25Hz - 20kHz or even worse.
