Yes, I see that from the measurement you report on your website but that isn't what your bullet point was and I still don't quite understand the need for an increase in response at 50Hz. I think you might mean "I would prefer the lf response to begin rolling off later".

For the measurement you didn't specify where the output is measured from - is it at the antenna socket at full output but before ALC action starts? This would help this ex-BBC engineer to attempt to replicate your findings.

I am fascinated to find out why a better response is needed at 50Hz. A bass singing voice might go down to 65Hz but I am unaware of the communications advantage.
