...and not true lower register ability, yes. I gave up trying to get my VOTT's to do "bass" ie, 20 hz fundamentals and used them as they were meant to be used. Actively Electronically Crossed over at 80 hz 12dB/ octave and run by a 100 watt OTL amp they had as much bass control as you'd want. And even run full range by the OTL amp they did respectably well. But I'm a basshead and ALWAYS want a true subwoofer run by lots of big, highly damped SS watts in all my systems - so YMMV, etc...
I *like* the loudness button!
