My apologies if this has been addressed before but I did a search on AVS but couldn't come up with anything conclusive.
I am extremely close to purchasing an A2-300 but wanted to know if anyone has a response curve for the unit ABOVE 100hz.
The website has the response curve up to 100hz but the crossover on the sub goes to 160hz.

I e-mailed Alex and he confirmed that the sub does go over 100hz:
"We only show frequency graphs up to 100hz since subwoofers generally start to become directional from 80hz and up. The amplifier has a crossover that can be turned up to 160hz, but we do not suggest it for optimal sound.
With the crossover slope, setting the low pass to 100hz, it will still have output at 160hz, just 6-10db down from the 100hz output."
It is only an issue for me until I get floorstanders (which won't be for a while) since I am using some Polk satellites (RM101) ATM, which start at the 130hz mark.
Anyone have a response curve up to 160hz? Further to this, when extending the crossover to the 130hz range, does this affect the subs output negatively (besides the bass being localizable above 100hz) below the 100hz range? (ie. Does the current response curve [see image] change when I change the crossover to a higher value on the sub)
Thanks for all the help in advance and for reading this far.
