I suspect they took the trannie maker's word that what makes the trannie a good filter would also restrict its dynamic capabilities and early saturation. Which is what happens if you use smaller cores. Bigger cores like those in poweer amp output transformers typically outdo 70 khz and better ones can do over 100 khz. The bigger cores and higher nickel materials and fatter wire can extend LF and limit LF distortion and then you can use bad skin effects to limit HF output.
Outside the bass the PW is really a great performer even at that steep price.
To take the Art Dudley side, read his self psychoacoustic analysis piece in the last Stereophile. Perhaps THD should be compiled with a 3-6db discount on even order bands to reflect audibility and how objectionable they are in musical context rather than electrical.
