Very small room systems and synergy

Having said all this the reviewer also mentions that with bungs covering the ports the frequency response is smoother and the bass extended to 55Hz.

I use them with bungs. I have a lowly Oppo player as a source now while waiting for my DAC and if I set up a high pass filter at 50Hz, I get more bass than at 60. And if I set it up at 40, I can still perceive a benefit. Can’t hear any difference below 40. Which means that, while the speaker may drop a few dB below 55, it still has enough output IN A SMALL ROOM to give me a full bodied, nicely rounded bass. Without the boom, without distortion, without the massive problems I have had in the past with bigger speakers.

Positioning is important. The right speaker cable was important (so far the best I have tried is the QED Supremus). Filling the speaker stands with sand made a positive difference. Taking time to position them is probably the most important thing. 

Ultimately a graph can only give you an idea. Until and unless you will try them in your room you won’t know better. 

reven6e,

Glad that the TuneTots are working out for you. Your use of stands is surprising since Wilson discourages the use of them. The speaker is a "near-boundary" design and intended for placement on cabinets. However, if it works for you that's all that matters.

As for measurements, I have an Engineering background and have learned the importance of measurements done properly. They can bring to light problems that were not obvious in brief listening sessions. 

As for reviews, it's always nice to get professional opinions from those who have learned to listen critically. Sometimes they pick up on things that I might miss (only to discover later). But as you said, everyone has different listening tastes.

At least two Wilson Audio dealers in UK demo them on stands and discouraged me from buying the custom plinths advising they are a waste of money. One told me that he only sold a pair of plinths for a customer who just liked the look but, as far as he is concerned, they deliver no sonic improvement whatsoever. 

Hi gmc56
I've been "working" what is essentially a "cube" 10'x10x71/2' for nearly 2 decades.  If you back read some of my posts, there may be some insights to help your journey.  Please do not discount the benefits of today's digital sound processing once all the physical work is accomplished.  Cheers.
More Peace, Pinthrift
