But what about instruments that go lower than that, for example a five string Bass. A much better answer comes from Hilmar-at-Bose in [[Bass Frequencies]]

:It's a relatively small woofer and it's good up to 3.5 kHz or thereabouts, which is plenty for many bass applications. It's not quite as smooth in the mid range as I would like for a "full range" speaker.
;Q: Would that be because of the cabinet design or the speakers?
:little of both actually but mostly it's cabinet design. The box is optimized to provide very good low bass and we just didn't want to compromise to dial in the higher resonances, since we were not planning on using the box at these frequencies.
