Surely impulse response is the same as wide bandwidth.
An impulse signal has a short rise time and the shape of the wave means
high frequency components.
if the equipment tests well with single frequencies up to say 40kHz
then it should deal with any audible impulse signal.

Some of the above posts are classic myth creation.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, how does the SB output a reduced bass
response when used in my context. I use the SB into an external dac via
the optical connector?
