S-1 Floorstander is 33-32. http://www.mbquart.com/en/produkte/home/alexxa/produkt.php?nr=s-one

I don't know where those other specs came from.

Well, my teacher (that's avaserfi ) says that you gotta look at the +/- 3dB frequency response, not the overall frequency response quoted by some companies (including Definitive Technology & MB Quart).

If you look at the Lab data on one of the reviews of the S-one, I think it actually says 51 Hz @ -3 dB on-axis:

Look at the SPL vs Freq Resp graph and you will see that the +/- 3dB is around the 50 Hz mark:

This link states two 5.25" woofers. The S-1 uses 6.5" woofers. It also states 45Hz.

I just can't read the graph on the first link. Anyway, if those specs are correct, I don't see a problem for 5.1/7.1.
I have no problem with my QLS models crossed @ 60Hz. Also, the spec has nothing to do with how well they do it. Mine are very tight, and never bottom.
I have had my center 5.25" slap once, in a four year period. I can't set my receiver x-over seperate for the center, so it has to tough it out. It does a shocking job.

The important thing is that they sound great. That is the important thing.

But from the first Test Report (Nov 2006), they did state that the S-one has two 6.5" woofers. And "untere grenzfrequenz 51 Hz +/- 3dB" is German for lower frequency response 51 Hz +/- 3dB.
