You might have put in the wrong SPL vs FREQ graphics. The ones there show roll offs at 70 hz & 10K hz. On the other hand, I can't recall another review that used the phrase "remains largely within +/- 3dB of that figure from about". It's usually "IS within +/- 3dB".
Check the graphs again. Despite the dip at 10kHz, its still within +-3dB as Mark states. Its 3dB point is also around 45Hz on the low end as he states.
as for his choice of wording, hey he is Canadian, and they do things a little differently
