Chess, I clicked on the link you posted but the curves it showed (for 20-39 and 16-46) DID have that gentle rolloff between 30 and 40 hz that I mentioned. The EP500 is very flat in the same region, ie is effectively 3-4 dB higher at the 20-25 Hz range.

Is that "better" ? Well, that's where the debate comes in. On balance I would argue that the EP500 response is more likely to be the most pleasing, but there are real good arguments for both sides..
