That's only the sub. If there were a lack of punch due to a dip in FR in the upper bass range caused by the rolloff of the sub above the crossover frequency as you mentioned in your previous post, you'd need to measure up to ~200hz with the mains in play to see it. Seeing as most processors use a 4th order crossover slope, that would put the sub 24db down by 160hz. A couple db difference in output form the sub that high shouldn't really matter, especially when you consider that room effects play a huge role in that range.
Now that said, again, I have't observed such dropoff in upper bass myself, and I know my VR3s don't have humped bass above 100hz which could be making up for it. My response up to 200hz was extremely flat in the old place - haven't measured it at this new place.
Also, I'm not necessarily "blaming" others' perceived lack of punch on low distortion, as I just remembered after your post that they both have pretty bad in room FRs.
