Stereophile Class A and Frequency Response

According to the Recommended Components Loudspeaker section in Stereophile, "to be eligible for inclusion in Class A, the system must be full range- ie feature bass extension to 20Hz."

I then noticed that the B&W 802D which is in Class A has a frequency response of 34Hz–28kHz (as mentioned in Stereophile's report on the speaker), which is nowhere near 20Hz.

Why is this speaker included in Class A?

Don't they have Class A fullrange, and Class A non-fullrange?...they used to?

I have not bought Stereophile in a few years.

Ya, I used to read "Audio". I remember when they reviewed the old Snell Type A's...My speaker lust of that time.

I liked Stereophile a lot back then too, it was a smaller size (6"x 10", maybe smaller?)...easy to hold.
