Freq resp 39 - 25 vs 34 - 25

[Xsound]

What are you gaining in 6hz? The bookshelf model reaches 39 and the tower goes to 34. To my uninformed brain, this does not seem like that significant and addition purely from a paper and numbers standpoint. Help me understand, is it worth the extra $300 dollars for the towers?

What speakers are you looking at, specifically? Frequency response isn't everything. Ideally you'll be running a powered subwoofer along with those speakers, and may well have them crossed-over at 80 Hz. In that case, it doesn't really matter if they go down to 34 Hz or 39 Hz.

Tannoy Sensys DC1 and DC2. Actually the freq response is listed as 39-51 and 34-51. I didn't list the high end because I am focused on the low end, not whether anything above 20k matters.

I do use a subwoofer, though right now I run my fronts set at large with crossover set at 60hz.

IMHO, I found the imaging on the DC1 to be a little more precise. I found a good review here too:

Your sub will fill the bass in nicely too.
