You are correct, that is how they are listed, for the most part.

On Musicians Friend they list the JBL LSR 2328P with a frequency response of 44 Hz - 18 kHz and then they list something called a "Low Frequency Extension (-10dB): 37 Hz. On the JBL site they list the frequency range as 37 Hz - 20 kHz. Neither site lists a + or -.

Yamaha HS80M on Musicians Friend lists a frequency response of 42 Hz - 20 kHz, no plus or minus. A brochure I got from Yamaha's website shows the same frequency response with (-10db)

Sorry, I lost you here. Do you mean that one complete package (monitors and subs) would work for me and the other not as much. (i.e. the Yamaha package would work and the JBL would not or vice versa.)

Thanks again for all the help!
