Down 6dB at 39hz is per specification, though. Setup away from front wall, and away from side walls, if possible. Angle them so that beams from compression drivers cross just behind your head at the listening chair. My chair is back about 8.5 feet from the speakers.
I use 24 wpc single-ended tube monoblocks (Art Audio Jota HC) but my speakers' efficiency is well over 100dB. With your speakers, I'd use push-pull KT88 amps with at least 40 wpc. I use traps on the ceiling and side walls, but not on the rear wall behind my chair which is at least 15 feet away from the rear wall.
It's a shame about Behringer :(
