Thanks, very good link :)But IMHO, it is not at all important to know the frequencies by heart, unless someone starts talking to you in figures, then it would be handy. Throughout my audiophile life, nobody I know talks in figures (except when checking out how low a speaker's specs will go), nobody.
In any case, it is hard to believe someone for example who says "there is a suckout in the 100hz region" without doing any measurement, unless he starts it with "I think" or "I believe". Then the next question is "now what the heck is this guy talking about regarding 100hz" ? Then the table comes in handy. But if the person in the first place said it in plain audiophile english, then no problem. Like if a reviewer reviewed a product and started spouting frequency ranges throughut the review without explaining, I'm sure readers will just be frustrated.
