Hi all,
this is my first time so be gentle. I'm a (very) amatuer audio-nut (with some science background) who'll be buying his first pair of axioms soon (either M3 or M22).

when I look at the frequency response graph, I can obviously see the decrease in response at lower frequencies. But at what level do I stop hearing? Does my hearing cutoff at ~80dB or is it 70dB? I'm trying to get a feeling for the impact of these response curves. Often, it looks like there is very little difference between curves for various speakers, yet people will hear significant differences.

can I use ~80db as a rough cutoff, then look at the lowest frequency each speaker will produce at that level? Is that a reasonable way to compare?

thanks,
