I'm so sorry about this misinformation.  Yes, it's 49hz for the HR624.

To clarify my mistake, I'm constantly reminded how much bass is in them, 
which is due to the slave mechanism, as this has a roll-off at only 12dB 
per octave.
Compared to 18dB/oct for ported/reflex enclosures, which is the most 
common mechanism used with compact montors, this effectively extends the 
useful low end.

They'll be coupled with an older Altec Lansing sub (need to redesign the 
sub cutoff filter), and as such feel the 49hz will provide me a system 
going sufficiently down in full stereo, before the mono sub kicks-in.
