Jeff, You gave the roll off. While the makers may say +-3db, it's almost always minus. This is also known as F3 and it's the frequency where the output has dropped by half (over simplified.) Each 3db doubles (or halves) the output so F6 would be 1/4 of the output, F9 would be 1/8 of the output. I say this is over-simplified because at low frequencies (like everyone else has said,) room dynamics can damp or enhance bass response. When it comes to position, check the instructions to see how far from the walls the maker recommends. This placement has a direct effect on bass response. If they are closer than 12-18 inches, they are probably suffering. How far apart and how far away has more of a stereo imaging effect. P -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them..
