    Wonder how this is possible:Frequency Response         39Hz-24kHz +/-3dB
    Low Frequency Extension         28Hz     High Frequency Extension       30khz       Dynamic threshold extension?

    Anyway, great looking specs!

    Ah, I was just going to ask the same question, extension...?

    Without great frequecy response & sensitivity, what do you have left???

    The frequency response measurement is recorded at +/- 3dB...the extension frequency at around -10db. 

    I could have an engineer-type explain it much better, but that's what I've got for you for the time being.  Smile

    Good enough for me! Am sure more engineer-types will appreciate your response!

    Thanks!

    Yes, Thanks Amy, I never looked at it that way, using the term "Frequency Extension" for levels of -10db to -16db.. I'll never look at another speaker the same way thats measuered at +/-3db.

    How thick is the enclosure?  One inch?  Does it vary in thickness?

    Featuring a “boat-tail” enclosure, the P-39F’s cabinet walls are up to 30mm thick with multiple laminations of medium density fiberboard that have been molded through a proprietary process. Extensive internal bracing gives the speaker a more rigid and structurally sound enclosure

     How 'bout distortion (including FM) at various output levels?
