another small TT question

Hi Bill. The description for the small table tubas says "they just don't go as low, with a 38Hz low frequency knee." What is the knee? What would be that frequency on the full size TT? I looked through the SPL charts hoping to find an overlay of the two but didn't see anything. I am still thinking the small TTs will be the best choice for both my living room and HT room but don't want to miss out if I should be instead figuring out how to fit in the larger cabs.

The knee is where horn loading ceases. It can be hard to see on a chart if you don't know what it looks like. The full size TT knee is 28Hz. It's the same with the Tuba HT. The difference is that the Tuba HT has higher sensitivity at the knee than the TT, due to the larger size.
