Thankyou for sharing this graph, Ilkka.

How important, in your experience, is the bass roll off of these boxes in the real world?

Do these roll-offs just offer valuable protection to modest subwoofers?

Presumably the effect is very subwoofer dependent?

If a sub can't reach low and loud then it won't notice the high pass effect anyway.
Well naturally one doesn't have to be worried about this all if his sub goes only down to 30 Hz. But if one is after a good output down to 10 - 15 Hz or lower, I would definitely think which EQ to choose. And yes, one easily gains some or actually quite a lot of (excursion) protection with some of these models. But that's actually pretty old news to most of us...

Any kind of filtering (low or high pass) of course always adds group delay, though that's pretty much the least thing one should be worried about at these frequencies.
