Power response is a really fascinating metric, and people don't bring it up very often. The interesting thing about power response is that it's one of those things that you can't fix with an EQ. IE, if I have a speaker that's too "hot" or it's too rolled off, I can address that via EQ. But if your power response is bad, there is very little you can do about it. It IS possible to improve the power response by tweaking the crossover, but that is one of those things that separates the good engineers from the great ones: nearly anyone can make a speaker that measures flat on axis. The hard part is getting it to behave on axis AND off. If you look at brands like KEF and Genelec, they've paid a lot of attention to this.
