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?

I'll try and help. Manufacturers don't tell you all the specs such as +/- 3db linearity. You will find that type of data in a review of the speakers.
A typical floorstander may have freq. response of 34hz-20khz, but sensitivity should be high, around 88 or 90 dB ; that would be an efficient spkr.(easy to drive and can get very loud in a small room).
Also, a 4 ohm spkr will need a more powerful amp than a 8 ohm spkr. Then you need to be aware of the crossover fequencies of each driver.
I suggest start reading speaker reviews and how the specs are being measured. Hope that helps a bit.
