Did you look at the SPL!!

Beppe,

Sure the bass drops off when you are playing a little speaker at 110db! It is pretty normal for most speakers that the bass gives out before the rest...this is not meaningful in the real world where you might be listening at 85db...then Stereophile's measurements of the speaker make more sense.

I doubt you will hear 5% distortion at 60Hz or at worst it will start to blur things a bit. Remember music is not steady state (most of it at least is not) so you will rarely have significant bursts at 60Hz louder than 87db.

That being said I would go with a larger woofer monitor like my Reference 3as. They use an 8 1/4 inch woofer and don't even have a crossover on it! It rolls off nice and natural somewhere above 3Khz.
