General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Are there established metrics for speaker specifications ?

Same for the low frequency point shown below. Here it is spec'd as 32Hz -6dB. I assume this to mean the speaker will output to 32Hz but it will be 6dB down in signal strength from the overall frequency range. Is this an attempt by the manufacture to show that his speaker goes down to 32Hz albeit with 6dB less output?

As Dave_K said, the specs are largely meaning less compared to your room and how the best position those speakers.

In general, if a speaker is -6dd at 32Hz, it can't hit 40 or 50Hz, so you need a sub unless your have room reinforcement.
