20 Hz, the Khorn bass bins stomp the flab and gratuitous grumbling of any bass reflex design you care to name. As for the LaScala's ... and no bass below 50 CPS... I hope your room is BIG enough to swallow a 56 foot wave if you are so adament about having your 20 HZ.

"I hope your room is BIG enough to swallow a 56 foot wave..."I don't think you understand how pressure waves work. 20 Hz is easily accomplished in the confines of a car if the drivers are capable. More to the point, it really doesn't matter if your musical tastes favor the midrange. Accuracy requires the ability to reproduce the entire range. If a speaker can't do that, it's less accurate than one that can.

I personally think there is more to accuracy than bandwidth. It may not even be the most important.
This conversation is making me scratch my head. Any direct radiator that is flat down to 20Hz is going to be 18 to 21" in diameter. That's so large that it's going to be put in it's own enclosure, and that makes it a sub-woof-er.
Maybe we should start a thread on the speaker asylum, and see how many multiway speakers we can come up with that are flat from 20Hz to 20kHz. I can't think of any, and I bet the ones that do have serious accuracy issues of their own for reasons other than bandwidth. Not that any of this matters, as I'm sure you are just being pedantic for your own amusement.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
This issue isn't one of absolutes. All else being equal , a musical reproduction system that is 3 dB down at 25 Hz is inherently more accurate than one with a 3 dB point of 55 Hz. Yes, low distortion counts for something, as does SPL. However, it simply isn't meaningful to say that one or the other of these attributes is most important, and to claim a system to be more accurate as a result of that characteristic alone. That's why I responded to the statement regarding the accuracy of bass horns the way I did. As a blanket statement, it isn't true.
"Any direct radiator that is flat down to 20Hz is going to be 18 to 21" in diameter."
That's not true either.

Here, something incontrovertible, a horn loaded woofer design {or any compression driver implemented correctly} is 10 {ten} times lower in distortion than any cone or dome. If your mind cannot count that as important, your ears surely will.

The following in terms of import... The room Trumps all other considerations, followed by the speakers and I daresay the preamp before the amp I have used transformer driven volume controllers...not dead and lifeless but definitely not as realistic sounding... Overload a small room all you want... It is not realistic.and surely, not accurate.

Like 50 Hz... A known fact.
