Frequency Response


Just wondering if there are some general guidelines/range (minimums) one should look for in regards to frequency response. Is a 30hz-30khz fairly standard?

OK folks, let me back up a bit. I'm trying to get a sense of certain sets of speakers (I don't have the luxury of going and listening to a lot). My old speakers, which were floorstanders, had a range of 38hz-20khz (good, average???). So as I;m specing new speakers, I'm just trying to get an idea of a "comfort" zone in terms of range....I have seen floorstanders at the low end anywhere from 20hz-40hz, and at the top end anywhere from 20khz-100khz.....but there is usually a sweet spot that most fall into. That is the sort of thing that I'm trying to figure out. I realize it's not the best way to go, but in my situation I am buying everything "deaf" so to speak. As far as the D/B I'm finding a number of companies only give you the range, not the D/B.
I also realize that my original post wasn't the best....but I can't go back and edit it. Also to some of you, I think you need to cut a little slack. You're right I don't know as much as you about this stuff....that's why I'm here.
I am considering Tannoys
93 d/b sensitivity, frequency range of 29hz-22khz @ 6d/b
PS....After a lot of research I have never heard the term linearity until this post.
