Agreed.
And one further point - human hearing is most sensitive in the midband range of frequencies (typically around 1 -3 khz). At frequency extremes, human hearing capability is not very consistent. So focusing on a frequency of 1khz for example makes physical sense - particularly in the context of a finished speaker because as you suggest, if it's properly constructed, it should have similar sensitivity at all other frequencies. When talking about a subwoofer or woofer, a 1khz sensitivity rating makes little sense. And as others have suggested, some of the better manufacturers have for years listed an average sensitivity rating over a specified frequency range of interest - particular ly driver manufacturers.

SOME spkr manufacturers measure it at 1KHz, some use... - jeffreybehr 11:24:42 07/22/12 ( 0)
Generalizing again, the midrange runs from around 300 Hz to 4,800 Hz or four octaves. 1 KHz then - cfb 10:45:14 07/22/12 ( 1)
- When we divide the 10 octaves of our (nominal) 20Hz - 20KHz... - jeffreybehr 11:13:39 07/23/12 ( 0)

- Human hearing is up to 8 dB more sensitive at 3kHz - Ole Lund Christensen 10:03:04 08/4/12 ( 1)
