full range is typically considered to be 20Hz to 20kHz.

Full range implies that the speaker can output, under suitable conditions, the full range of human hearing. According to most audiologists, human hearing extends down to about 20Hz. Looks like your speakers extend to 40Hz, so not quite full range. Depending on the size of your room and the type of music/recordings you listen to, 40Hz may be all you need, however.

Definitely not. Mebbe even raise it a bit.
