What are "Full range speaker"


I wonder what constitutes a so called "full range speaker"?

Besides the low frequency reproduction, what are other things that are typical of a full range speaker?

I have a pair of Spendor S8 and are they qualified as full range speaker?

I can't think of anything that generates a 20Hz note
A church organ, for one. Chips... (OK, that's an electronic device).
One problem with actually "hearing" a 20Hz note is its length -- ~17,5 m. So, when it's there (rarely) we perceive reflected sound.
It's also very difficult to reproduce, requiring tons of amplification power and excursion from the driver(s)
